Probably as simple as more ram than being much more powerful.

Resolution and fps eat vram.  

Having more than three times as much RAM at twice the bandwidth does help, but not just that; its CPU and GPU are superior too. Not by a whole generation of course, but enough that the results can look noticeably better, as we can see when comparing both the same games on both systems, and also Wii U games to their Switch sequels.

Yeah, but don't underestimate 3x ram that is also faster.  That is a huge deal.  

Overall I'm happy with the Switch and look forward to Switch 2.  

In terms of pushing modern games, I felt the rtx 4070 struggled because it only has 12 gb of vram.

Vram goes quick these days.  Need a lot of it and high memory bandwidth.
