Honestly, you probably haven't seen top-notch modern game graphics. I remember being wowed a couple years ago by each successive release of Mass Effect that I worked my way through. ME:Andromeda may have been a bit of a dumpster fire, but the graphics were pretty as hell. Then I played Control, and it blew my socks off. The recent Alien game was also stunning.

Or it could be the opposite. I have a high-end gaming PC. I have a Switch. They feel pretty much interchangeable to me when it comes to graphics. The difference is nights and day...and I don't care one bit. Frame rate is another story and definitely an issue with the Switch, mostly BECAUSE they try to push the graphics too far. Mario Odyssey runs at 60fps. It's not as good as what my PC and monitor can display, but it's...okay. Too many games can't keep 30fps because they just had to put more shadows and polygons for no good reason. Still, for the most part I have just as much fun with it as I do with PC games. I have both just for variety. I use an Nvidia Shield TV when I want to play the PC games on the couch. Looking forward to the Steam Deck though. Being able to play Monster Hunter Rise's PC version in a form factor similar to the Switch will be quite nice.

  > They feel pretty much interchangeable to me when it comes to graphics. > The difference is nights and day...and I don't care one bit. You used these 2 sentences back to back. Tbh it's just you not caring about graphics whole lot, but can see the difference. To say that they're interchangeable is kinda hilarious because they're objectively better on PC, consoles than on Switch. You, yourself said so and the whole point in this thread was that of "how graphics definitely improved over the last 10 years" and not a subjective opinion of you not caring (which is fine but invalid in this conversation). Also, one can easily notice graphical differences between games that are released now and 10 years ago.

    Their point was not that the difference is invisible, it's that it doesn't matter. I find for most games that the PS controllers and XBox controllers are interchangeable, but not that they are indistinguishable.

Control was the first game I played on series x after upgrading from a 360 which was collecting dust. Also have a quite decent pc with entry level gpu but control on series x blew my mind. In all honesty xsx graphics fidelity can't be compared to my sons Nintendo switch when you play the games on TV, I assume the same goes for ps5. Games did improve a lot and maybe all someone needs is to stay off gaming for a bit to notice the difference because the changes are less ground breaking and more gradual. If you look at Nintendo first party titles they are not even trying to compete in graphics. Nintendo is just always spot on when trying to make games for the age group they target.
