I have a PC, PS5, and Switch, and never felt like the Switch was underpowered. Samewise, my phone doesn't feel underpowered compared to my laptop, because I recognise they're completely different devices.
You don't get a Switch to play the latest God of War, you get it to play Mario and Zelda games, and cute lo-fi indie games
That's not how power works lol
Yeah that's what I mean. They're bad comparisons, because we don't compare the "power" of a phone vs a laptop.
People definitely do and can
People run Doom on a fridge
Right... I'm not sure what your point is exactly with that, doom came out in 1993 and had extremely low requirements and looks as dated as it is. Of course it can run on machines like fridges or ATMs or calculators in more recently made devices because the power of the chips in these machines are better then PCs back when doom released.
