It's ultimately down to personal preference; like I said, I personally don't consider Xenoblade 3 to be one of the best looking Switch games, but on a technical level it is a more demanding game than Red Dead. Which you prefer depends largely on aesthetics.

For me, Tears of the Kingdom is the best looking open world game on Switch, thanks to a combination of a gorgeous art style with impressive technical effects.

yes and no. Resolution is part graphics as well. Image quality is one the most important things when it comes to graphics, then you have the models and envoriments look more detailed. when talking about a technical level. the big thing is what trade offs are they doing, if you trading more advanced tech for lower resolution thne you are doing it right, you can't really look at both pics and honestly say X3 looks better cause it made bad trade offs and ruined image quality, even the envoriments have a insane amout of pop in and really don't have much in them.

The extent to which resolution matters is a matter of opinion though; for me, one of the most beautiful games I've ever played is Muramasa: The Demon Blade which is a 480p game, purely because I adore its art style. For me, stuff like art design or textures or effects work generally rates higher than raw pixel count.

A person could very well prefer the way Xenoblade 3 looks to the way RDR looks, and that would be a valid choice.
