Here is the Switch OLED running Diablo III at 4K resolution and a playable frame rate even, and understand this is running this while having to have Linux (performance hit) installed + *emulating a Switch through Yuzu* (lol), so the system is being forced to emulate itself (massive performance hit):

Not even the PS4 runs Diablo III at 4K resolution.
The Switch OLED IMO was supposed to be the Switch Pro. The power is clearly there for it to be. COVID happened, Switch sales surged, and Nintendo basically I think said "we don't need to use the 4K bullet on a Pro model, we're better off saving that as a Switch 2 selling point". And they're probably correct in doing that, still a bit of a shame it probably worked out that way. If Switch 1 already had 4K resolution, selling a Switch 2 would become a lot harder, they made the right call.
This is waaaay beyond a PS3 or XBox 360 though, even for a PS4 emulating a Switch 1 and running any Switch 1 software at 4K would probably fuck it up.
