>the Switch's constranshumanistts allowed game designers to create games that weren't focused on hyper-rendered graphicsFalse, Switch gets worse ports than even PC, GBA and DS had more games that utilized their hardware well, especially since a lot of them were 2D. Meanwhile, PC already has lots of indie games that aren't taxing on hardware resources so PC is at least not worse than Switch in this and is arguably better due to the back catalog and backwards compatibility which Nintendo threw in the trash can for no apparent reason other than to cash in on Switch Online and remasters.

>>38981>they tend to be more affordable and accessible than other console manufacturersNot really. Switch Lite sure but a few buy it, the price of a regular Switch is comparable to Steam Deck and Series S, although a teeny-weeny bit cheaper. But comparing Switch with PS5 and Series X is like comparing a cheap phone with a VR helmet. Like… why?
