People correcting you for saying something that isn't true is not them being defensive, it's just them pointing out that what you said wasn't true.I'm not sure why so many get so defensive when it comes to the Switch's capabilities. It's a great handheld, but let's not pretend that a downclocked mobile SoC from 2015 is somehow super powerful. Like I said, it is as powerful as it can be considering the battery and cooling. When in handheld mode, it is slightly more powerful than last gen consoles. It has a further edge due to newer tech and much more RAM, but it is still not that big of a difference.
Maybe "slightly" sounds much worse to you than me. I really don't get why anyone would be worked up about it otherwise.
Being defensive about being corrected on something you were wrong about and then doubling down? Now, that is being defensive.
