The biggest problem with 3rd party ports on Switch...

This is true, that is why I was willing to pay the 60 bucks initially.  A good game is a good game.

 

But when a better deal is staring you in the face...well I could not justify not jumping on it.  For my portable needs, while not preferable, I still have remote play on my VITA and since my truck has Wifi, I can utilize it pretty much anywhere I want.

So you don't mind splurging extra money on another PS4 that plays the exact same games; you don't mind splurging for a frivolous portable system that requires expensive proprietary memory cards, and had all 1st part support dropped after about a year; but when it comes to buying a version of game that perfectly suits your needs, that extra $40 is just too much.
Better to just buy a bunch more cheap games for a system you already have an ever growing backlog for, and not only justify it with this bizarre logic, but try to sell it like some revelation.

One, my PS4 Pro was a gift, so I traded in my launch PS4.

 

Two, I got my VITA a long time ago, and as someone who enjoys JRPGs, it is not lacking in any regard.  I have also used cross play with Call of Duty Ghosts, Fallout 4, Evil Within, and many others to maximize my playtime.  I had no problem buying a VITA back then, just like I have no problem buying my Switch on launch day.  I do not regret either purchase.  You are really reaching with that one bud.

 

The 40 bucks was not too much, till I saw the same game for 40 bucks less at 4k with HDR with the ability to remote play for extra time.  It is proof that the price point is a real problem for some (from what I hear many).

 

My backlog consists of...

 

Metal Gear Solid 5

Far Cry 4

Dark Souls 3

GTA 5

 

Those are all older games that I had when I started my Zelda marathon to beat every canon mainline game the year before BotW released.  I will play them eventually, but I do not feel like playing them right now.  I would rather play the games I bought now.  Seeing how old those games should also make it evident that while I do have an existing backlog, I am able to keep up with the more current releases as they come.

 

Look at my Switch game list on my profile, look at my trophie list on my PS4, both will show you that while I passed on a few games I got a good while back, I know how to keep up and finish 90% of what I buy.  I will also finish every game I just got and at the start of next year, pick up the games I want over the holiday.  You are trying so hard to act like I am being irrational yet my profiles show indisputable proof that you are wrong.

 

I am not sure why you seem so intent on trying to make me look like I wasted money.  I will enjoy every game I got so you are only wasting your breath.  Are you upset that I did not support 3rd party games because I spent my money elsewhere?  Or are you upset because you realize that the pricepoint is a real problem, but you do not want to admit it?

 

I honestly can't tell with you because what seemed like a discussion on the topic seems to have turned to you trying your hardest to discredit my decision like you know my habbits and what I have or don't have at my disposal.  By doing so  you are only hurting your own point.  The truth is, you do not know what suits my needs nor what I can do to adjust to my needs.  So why do you act like you do?
