The great thing about how Nintendo approaches games is that it is about game design, not triangles per second.

Great in theory, but only really works for first party games and does mean you occasionally end up with unfortunate situations like Tears of the Kingdom where it runs better on an emulator than the actual hardware.
But Mr. Anderson, how can Tears of the Kingdom run better on an emulator... if no emulators for the system can legally exist?
I've been playing TOTK over the last month and have had zero issues running it on my switch (OLED edition).
Of course, but that doesn't negate OP's comment that it runs better emulated still.
Ooh, thank you for the reminder to see where the state of emulation is. I played Breath of the Wild on both Switch and on PC under emulation, and the difference was night and day. The stuttering on the Switch distracted quite a bit. My PC played in beautiful 4k.
It works for everyone, provided they have the skills.
I have stop buying most AAA games, because they are GB of useless gameplay, or remakes from remakes of remasters, that is better invested into sponsoring indies.
Coming from a modern console, the first hour of Tears of the Kingdom felt painfully sluggish.
One complaint from a catalog of how many games?
Tears of the Kingdom is far from the only Switch game with performance issues. Off the top of my head, the newest Pokemon games (and the next newest, to a lesser extent) run like shit on the Switch. I've heard complaints about other games too.
It was underpowered when it was released in 2016, so it really shouldn't be that surprising.

Why do people by a Switch? Mario (Kart), Zelda, and Pokémon.
Those three franchises represent a huge percent of sales. 70%?
