Yes.  I said it was way more like a ps3 than ps4.  Between the 2, it is a ps3.  I didn't mean it was 100% a ps3 with zero differences.  I believe you are smart enough to know that was my point.

Depends on how you define part way.  It isn't a ps3.5.  At best it is a ps3.2.  The switch is far closer to the ps3 than ps4, as a said.  

I would tend to disagree; the fact it plays many of the same games as PS4 just with lower settings puts it more akin to PS4/XBO in my eyes as most of the core graphical techniques of 8th gen games such as PBR, SSR, GPU accelerated particles, TSSAA, etc are present on Switch, stuff rarely or never seen on PS3 and 360.

Apologies if my previous posts were not clear or where grumpy.  I woke up in the middle of the night and could not fall asleep.  My my comments were a mix of blurry eyed and annoyed.  

Have to agree to disagree. 

Playing the same games is irrelevant from my perspective.  I can play doom on a calculator and on a 4090.

But no worries, to each their own.

Edit (general commert, not aimed at you Curl)

Playing the same game as a comparison of hardware is curious.  I'm assuming it is driven by consoles historically having exclusives and lacking BC.  So gens were defined by the games more than the visuals.  

From a PC perspective, playing the same games means nothing from a hardware position.  A 2050 runs probably all the same games as a 4090.  When I upgrade to a 5090, all my old games work.  Playing the same games is expected and doesn't mean anything.

The easiest example is RE4 remake.  It can run on a 1050 and also runs on a 4090.  So those are similar hardware...  except benchmark puts the 4090 at 1,380% better.
