Sounds about like an argument made up by someone on a gaming Reddit who constantly goes on about FPS and nothing else no matter what the hell the game is. So, I guess when it's convenient the definition of gaming is nothing but graphics performance. Then when they need to say that women make up most of the gaming market to justify their bad design choices, they count old ladies playing Wordle.
There have been comments that the switch is doesn't have the frame rate and graphical abilities as the newer consoles for a while now. None of those actually matters, because most of the games don't need that.
I've seen a lot of complaints about the newest Pokemon having bugs by game reviewers, and it being ignored by fans.
Pokemon fans are sycophants who would gladly accept getting served trash in a box as the new Pokemon game and defend it, though. So that might not be the best example.
The Switch is technically a "generation" behind the other two, but because its selling so well and came out later in the gen than them anyway they aren't in some rush to push out the Gen 9. Especially given PS4 is still getting games made for it because no one cares or wants a PS5.
Also the new Pokemon is in a weird place where its probably one of the best games they ever made, but its performance is so bad its painful. So surface level reviews will spend all their time talking about that, whereas people who'd play it anyway get more conflicted. However, that's entirely a Gamefreak problem as games like Xenoblade 3 came out this same year with zero of those performance issues, still having a massive open world and having full voice acting on top of it.
If only the game's issues stopped at bugs.
