Nobody said progress wasn't made. We are saying muscle is more important. The ps3 was 256 ram, the ps4 was 8 gb.... 32x increase. The ps3 was 20 (ish) gb/s while the ps4 was 176 gb/s.... almost a 10x increase. The muscle of the ps4 kills the ps3. The switch has 25 gb/s.... sounds like a ps3 and no where near a ps4...... but it has more ram than the ps3. So yeah the switch is stronger than the ps3.... by 10-15% in performance. Maybe 20%. It doesn't touch the ps4. There is nothing on the switch that is like Ghost, GoW, Horizon, etc. |
You're focusing too much on a single aspect, that being raw bandwidth, and overlooking others such as the whopping 500% increase in memory capacity over PS3.
And in fact that raw bandwidth number vs PS3 is misleading; they look the same on paper, but precisely because of technological progress, the Switch supports Delta Colour Compression, a newer trick that gives it greater efficiency per GB.
And where is this 10-15-20% number coming from? Switch runs several games that are 720p or less on PS3 at 1080p, that in itself is a more than 100% increase in performance.
