PS4 and first Switch are like 4 years apart and modern (PS5/XBox) load almost any game in seconds.

  Yes - I recently got a XSX and fast-switching is (sorry for the pun) game-changing. It's extremely similar to the DS-close-lid suspend experience, but you can also juggle multiple games at once. I no longer need to think about save points.

  Sure, and whilst I used them as main examples, it's not just about hardware and load times. What's important to me at the end of the day is a great game, not technical metrics which aren't meaningless but less meaningful ... e.g. Donkey Kong Country on a SNES emulator is still a better, more enjoyable game than 2020's Crash Bandicoot 4 which fits into the same platforming category. PS4 had plenty of chances to release a "great" critically acclaimed game given the hardware, even 4 years in yet they still didn't manage to beat BOTW according to gamers/critics. Looking at metacritic, the best PS4 games of all time (RDR2, GTAV) are at 97, which is the same as BOTW. As for PS5/XSX. Do they even have any truly "great" games yet? All their best games are remakes/remasters which are limited to better graphics. Truly great games are exactly why Nintendo can afford to barely update their console 5 years after release.
