Yeah that goalpost has been VERY mobile the past two years.

"It'll never get PS4 games, it can't handle them."

"Okay it'll get 60fps PS4 games cut to 30fps, but no 30fps PS4 games."

"Okay it'll get 30fps PS4 games, but not open world PS4 games."

There's pretty much nowhere to move it to now except to just bash the ports as "looking like crap". 

Honestly when you consider that it's a port of a very demanding current gen title on a handheld console which has the same hardware as a 2015 nvidia shield it is an absolute feat that the game functions in any way shape or form on the system, but I think I had my expectations well in check that this would look bad or run in the low 20s at all times, but so far from playing it I've been stunned at the performance, and obviously I have a pre release version which would be missing any day one patches, and I'm playing it on my OG Switch, not the Mariko unit which I've bought so possibly it might hold that 720p every so slightly more on that unit but I won't know this this weekend.

Oh yeah, the fact we're at the point where a demanding open world PS4 game can run on a handheld in a mechanically uncompromised and visually recognizable form is still just bonkers to me. I've long been of the opinion that Switch's capabilities were widely underestimated but even I never expected to see something like this.
