    Tears of the Kingdom has shown that the Switch is at it’s limits here. It runs and it’s playable, but it’s perilously close to not being.

    7 years is about right for a hardware generation. PS4 and Xbox One had that too, and they had a mid-gen performance refresh to boost the longevity. Base PS4 games were borderline unplayable by the end.

      Tears of the Kingdom is a miracle of engineering. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity did a lot more to show that the console isn’t keeping up with its own ambitions anymore.

      That said I don’t think generations need to last the same forever because technological advancement doesn’t happen at the same rate forever. The PS4 isn’t being obsolesced by insufficiency, but rather by extravagance and marketing interests. Many games still run just fine on the PS4 to this day, even Jedi Survivor is being backported to it.
