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.

Xbox is way more powerful then ps2 still the same gen. When we look at impressive ps4 games they look a gen ahead of switch it's as simple as that. 

Not really; pretty much every rendering technique standardized by the PS4 is present on Switch, just with lower settings or with less stuff on screen.

PS3/360 use older methods rooted in the technology of 2005 when they were designed.
