    Nintendo used to be a hardware company. But once the Wii came out they changed to a software company that shovels out whatever cheap slop hardware they can to rake in low effort money.

    Imagine that the Switch could have provided technical advancement like the Nintendo64 did. Bilinear texture filtering was barely supported by top end gaming GPUs at the time, and Nintendo managed to fit it into a home console. Imagine that kind of relative power in todays terms, BotW and TotK could have ran at a stable 120fps right out of the box.
