That videogame console spirit still lives on in the Nintendo Switch. Updates take seconds, the OS never gets in the way and most of the time you can just put in the cartridge and play a complete highly polished game. The games all thave that 'videogame' look too and aren't as 'cinematic' as the PS5 stuff. Most of it targets 60fps in docked mode.
I do think that these retro gaming channel dudes underestimate just how fucking good TVs are these days and having a better screen makes a big difference.
My LG OLED has an awesome build-in upscaler for non-4K content, so I have very little jaggies even when games run sub 720p.
Back when the 360/PS3 came out we were mostly stuck with shitty 720p 'HD Ready' LCD sets with ghosting and crushed blacks unless you got a Plasma TV which had its own downsides for gaming or sold your kidney to buy a Sony TV. It took a while for decent and affordable HDTV sets to come out.
I'm hoping the Switch 2 can keep that 'easy to use affordable console, just plug in and play' feeling and doesn't fall into the same trap as the other current consoles.
Nintendo going for a 3 year old chip design for their new system bodes well.
