Doesn't change the fact that it still looks very uncomfortable imo.

Doesn't look any less confortable than a PsVita.

Playstation Vita is perfectly made for portable gaming and fits the hands of the player very good unlike Nintendo Switch.

PSVita sure has issues, but the comfort while playing is definitely not one of them.

WTF people complaining about the joystick placements?

Have any of you played an xbox lol? or for that matter a gamecube with its C stick lol

I don't mind the asymmetric placement - but it works best when the bottom stick is also just a little to the left of the buttons too. Fewer cramps in the thumb going between the buttons and the joystick. Default Switch controller has the buttons and joystick directly above/below each other - rather than having a slight offset.

Yeah this is my main issue with the layout, but I can go from the circle pad to the d-pad well enough on the 3DS so maybe it'll be fine. Either way not too big a deal since the pro controller exist.

Won't fit in a pocket. The Vita barely fits in a pocket and not while you're sitting so be prepared to carry a backpack.

It will fit in the pocket of a jacket, same as the Vita and the 3DS XL, which were also already uncomfortable in a trousers pocket.

But I'd love to get a more Vita-sized "Switch Lite" with the same display size but smaller bezels and not seperable Joy-Cons. With only one big battery instead of 3 small ones and with 2 less wireless transmitters, they should be able to shrink it to something like this:

At home I'd dock the Switch with Joy-Cons attached anyways and use a Pro controller. So I don't really need detachable Joy-Cons.

So, for you the Switch Lite would be the Vita 2 ? :D

(More powerful Vita and PSTV included with/in it)

Yeah, and that sure has nothing to do with any kind of biasement. The fact that you haven't even touched the console and you are judging how it feels gives you tons of credibilty, just as when you judge Nintendo games when you haven't touched a single of their consoles in your life. A lot of credibility everywhere.

One of the actors of the trailer made declarations about the console and one of the first things he said was that it was pretty confortable to hold, the rest of us can hardly give an opinion until we actually touch it.

And when did I said it wasn't confortable?



Wait, is that the actual size in comparison to the Wii U and 3DSXL? That's actually a good size for it. It's definitely easier to carry that people initially thought. I just wish there was a side comparison.

After reading some people talk about the Vita, that would be a fun comparison to see as well. How does the size of the Switch compare to the Vita?
