The servers are only available in Japan for streaming RE7 so anyone outside the country testing it isn't saying much. PS Now on the other hand which is a global service has just under 2M subscribers per month right now. It's not just cloud gaming that the Switch should be just worried about but another aspect of streaming which is remote play where you can stream games from your own home console on the go which has high potential to deliver a far more impressive technical experience ...

The switch is the first nintendo console I ever thought was worth buying, and even then, I got mine new from the store at 200 dollars, in december 2017, less than a year after the release. 2.5 hours of battery is great for me. It lasts long enough for me on one full charge. It's not like I'm going to have much time to play the thing while I'm out and about anyway. Also, it's a 200 dollar console. I rarely ever take it anywhere away from home anyway. |
Then speak for yourself because the main selling point of a Nintendo system is being portable and having their exclusives but if you're not going to use it away from then that just lowers the value ...
Also, just because you got your Switch at $200 does not mean you can ignore it's official MSRP which is still $300 but I wonder if you would see value in the Switch at $300 ...

It sounds more like favouritism than any rational consumer. The vast majority of the consumers buys a system when shit gets released for it, not whenever promises of shit releases for it ...
God forbid indeed and that is pointing out that streaming from a home console has more potential than the Switch or any other portable/mobile systems out there. It's too bad you don't appreciate the fruits of telecommunications technology either ...
