Switch games looks like the best PS3 games, but with better loading times
They don't look close to the best looking PS4 games, as even base PS4 struggle with them sometimes, see how Horizon FW runs on PS4
I'm with Chrkeller on that. Switch is functionally a portable PS3. The fact it can run some PS4 games is not evidence they are closer to PS4 when it fact 80% of its AAA third party library are PS3 ports rather than PS4 ports and most of those PS4 ports are early gen games that don't even push PS4 hardware to begin with. The more late gen games who run on Switch (read Hogwarts Legacy) needed to be reworked and downgraded until they looked like PS3 games, including the loading times between map sessions
There is nothing on The Witcher that makes to me it can't run on a PS3 with worse settings, PS3 can run Skyrim and GTA V. It could totally handle big open worlds, as long there is no graphical fidelity and no need of fast loading times
However there are indeed some games on Switch I believe could not run on PS3, Zelda TOTK comes to mind. It's a game that need many fast physical calculations that cannot be delayed. Switch is clearly ahead PS3 in many things, but overall I'd say they are indeed much closer to it than a PS4
