The shitty ports don't erase the capabilities demonstrated by the better ones though. I own both a PS3 and 360 and have played them both extensively and the Switch is a noticeable step up from them when it comes to the games that really leverage its hardware.

I also have both, and have player milions of hours on them and now the games to the bones.

Switch I've played a few times but also watched many many videos on games on it and also analysis on digital foundry and I am not impressed as jump from PS3/360 in terms of performance or graphics, it's very close, and even in some situations worse.

You may not be impressed and that's fair enough, but it is not "very close" really; Switch has over 6 times as much useable RAM and GPU technology a decade more modern. Obviously as a device that has to function as a portable it cannot offer a generational jump in raw power but the Switch's performance as a console is still significantly ahead of PS3 and 360.

Take Crysis. Switch compared to PS3/360 has a higher resolution, higher framerate, more foliage, better effects work for water, motion blur, and depth of field, plus the addition of SVOGI which is a form of ray traced global illumination. The gap over PS3/360 is quite clear.
