Switch is a much stronger system than PS3. PS3 overall was weaker than Wii U and Switch is more powerful than Wii U.  You're judging by style rather than actual technical prowess. Some of the more anime looking stuff on Switch is a bigger technical feat than those games. Due to several effects,lighting and a whole lot more.

Eh I disagree with that statement. The Switch is definitely more powerful than PS3. Not sure what buddy was talking about there. Still, I'm not convinced the Wii U was stronger than the PS3.

Some people say the CPU was slower, but others claim that's a misinterpretation (MHz myth as I've read) and the system is actually comfortably on the same range as PS360. Others suggest the system had an odd architecture (the "developers didn't make Wii U ports with the Wii U in mind" argument) and Nintendo created an awful developmental environment that didn't encourage many to use the machine to its full extent. Not even Nintendo fully understood the technicalities of the Wii U as some argue, for example. 

I don't know about this stuff so I can't really vouch for anything, but it's true there was barely any incentive for anybody besides Nintendo to invest big time on the Wii U. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
