I am a hardware enthusiast, so not really that interesting.

Then get a PC? I mean, it has the widest variety of games, the more freedom to mod and alter to your personal taste, and is nearly entirely backwards compatible. 

I don't understand how, in this modern era, anyone could care more about graphics and performance than gameplay and innovation. I'd take a thousand switches and even WiiUs over a single Xbox One X by simple virtue of the fact that those consoles did something new and interesting and had games that were fun. The Xbox One X did the same thing the Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One did but prettier and with silkier framerate. 

To me, that's like saying The Hobbit movies were better than Lord of the Rings becuase the visual effects were more impressive and the movie was filmed and released in 48fps instead of the cinema standard of I think 24 (might be 30). The film industry knows that prettier effects don't make a movie better, so why do so many gamers still genuinely act like better graphics make a game better? This isn't the 90's anymore, we collectively know better than to assume that graphics>Gameplay now. 

Exactly. While people still like to complain about graphics, Sony and Microsoft for the past two gens run the exact same games, so that is gonna come down to stuff like games/exclusives, price, controller, online. Basically games and features, but mostly games. If you want to play Nintendo games or play games on the go, and don't mind not getting the latest AAA 3rd party action games that make up the meat of the other two systems, you're gonna get a Nintendo system. No where in there do graphics really come into play. It's basically Nintendo games vs 3rd party AAA games, portable vs home, and which companies exclusives do you prefer. Graphics whores will rule out Nintendo for being portable, but between Sony and Microsoft the differences in specs are meaningless when they run the exact same games that look the same.
