> and the loading speed is a breath of fresh air.

I don't know what games you're playing but my experience pretty much across the board with the switch is "frustratingly long" loading times. Metroid dread is one of the more recent games I played and the loading screens are painful. Especially compared to a PS5. Check out something like Spiderman for how good it can be.

> And tbh, I didn’t see a lot of difference in terms of graphics.

Then you're not the target audience. Look at TOTK beside Ratchet and Clank on PS5. The difference is night and day.



Switch load times are indeed long, especially after living with a PS5. In fact they frustrated me when I originally played through BoTW on release.


Coming back to this, I've been playing TOTK this weekend on my switch. The loading times on death, or entering/exiting shrines are pretty close to a minute. I'm currently playing jedi survivor on PS5 and the load times are closer to 10 seconds. It's night and day.


On the graphics point I meant from PS4 > PS5. Switch is obviously much less powerful graphically but it has zero impact on my enjoyment of the games.


Its a very different thing to say there's no difference, and that the difference doesn't impact your enjoyment of the games. I've been playing TOTK this weekend, and the graphic quality does affect my enjoyment. There are performance issues, super low res graphics, awful aliasing and shadows, and super low detail textures. It doesn't ruin the game, but this is stuff that definitely deserves to be talked about.
