How do the visuals on the Nintendo Switch compare to those of the Xbox 360 & PS3?

Again, we have the specs, they clearly show Switch has significantly more graphical muscle than PS3/360, and real world performance reflects this disparity. There's no need to wait, the evidence is conclusive.

You keep saying that, but no.

The Switch does have more muscle than the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. This shouldn't even be up for debate.

One of the biggest limitations last generation was Ram. Or lack there-of. Not exactly an issue on the Switch.

Yet again; We. Have. The. Specs.

And hardware optimization is a thing; So. The. Specs. Aren't. The. Whole. Story.

But damn is a big part of that story though.

Except optimization is unique on each side, because the hardware between the PS3, 360, and Switch are all drastically different from one another.

 

And the question has a factual answer for arguably one game (not giving Skyrim the point since Bethesda has been practicing that game for ten years). I'm waiting for a trend before saying anything, whereas you just seem gung-ho to declare a victor.

The Switch isn't even a year old at this point, so it goes without saying that games will look better in several years time on the Switch, where-as the 7th gen consoles were pretty much tapped out.

Skyrim isn't leveraging all the visual effects the Switch can do either, but it certainly does leverage a vast majority of the Xbox 360's and Playstation 3's from a hardware feature set perspective.
