I have no problem if you want to call PS4 version unacceptable. But if you think stating there is a huge perfomance gap is hyperbole that is on you as well.

There is not a huge performance gap.  Where the Switch dips to 24fps, the PS4 also dips (albeit to the higher 20s).  Also where the Switch dips to the high teens in cutscenes, the PS4 also dips to the high teens in same cutscenes.  Furthermore most of the time, the Switch holds a steady 30 fps.  It is only two demanding areas that it drops at all.

If you want to ignore the video evidence and make claims that there is a huge performance gap (there isn't), then people calling you out for hyperbole is on you my friend.

Performance isn't only frame rate. If it was I wouldn't have to say fps as well.

I bet with my ear you have not watch the full videos, i can see from how fast you comment since it was just posted, hell even i am not even finish watching it. 

The game has been released in some ways for the last week... I've been playing through it while I wait for my legit copy to arrive in the mail, so yeah... it's perfectly believable that someone has played and knows what the game and port is like, also the video you linked here.. isn't the first time a video of this has existed on the internet.

You bring up the fact that the Switch hits low 20s in gameplay at stress times btw, do ya remember the game being a locked 30 on the X1 or PS4?

Still he is asking about the video comparison.

So you should be pissed with 20-25fps of Witcher 3.

That would be every console port? Even the PS4P which tried to checkerboard up the resolution rather than the frame rate still crumbles from that high pedestal of 30fps under load.

The point is I don't care about 60fps and most of the drops on the 30fps I can tolerate. But that wasn't what the people I replied to implied.

I already own the Witcher on the ps4, I won't be double dipping.  Additionally, when given a choice, I will go ps4 over the Switch all day long.  I love Doom on the ps4 and have zero interest in the Switch version.  I'm consistent with my thoughts.  Are you?

I believe I'm.
