It doesn't really matter ps4 impressive games look a gen ahead of switch.

A generation is the gap between PS3 and PS4; Switch is significantly ahead of PS3.

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.

Games like Witcher 3, Dying Light, Hogwarts Legacy or Kingdom Come Deliverance wouldn't be possible on PS3 though, not without reducing them beyond the point of recognition or playability. Switch on the other hand can handle them, thanks to having a far more memory and GPU from the PS4 generation.

Maybe.  I honestly don't know.  According to steam the minimum gpu for W3 is a gtx 660.... that launched in 2012....  pretty old hardware.  Games scale on PC really well and can be played on all kinds of hardware gens.  

For me visuals of Switch games to tools, crack, TLoU and uncharted are similar.

The visuals on Switch to horizon, gow 2018 and GoT are not similar.

Edit

Hogwarts plays on a 960 from 2015.  

I struggle with playing the same games means similar hardware.  I'm playing W3 on my 4090 at native 4k, 120 fps and maxed settings across the board.  Someone else could be using a 660.

So similar hardware....  except if we compare settings it is a slaughter.

I don't think playing the same games is a good metric.
