Your argument is that since the Switch didn't come with a way to charge the joycons or play while docked and charging out of the box then it was meant to be a handheld.

Thus following that argument, the 3DS that didn't' come with a charger were never meant to be charged. They were meant to be thrown away after depletion.

Is this like a generational thing where people think they can just change the definition of words at their leisure? If I'm not mistaken Zorg, you have like 3 kids, which means you're probably around my age, and definitely means you should know better.

Who said anything about it "affecting me" until you brought it up. Not being able to charge while playing is actually evidence that indicates that Nintendo designed the Switch primarily as a handheld. Sure, alone, it's not very strong evidence at all, but nowhere did I say that this alone proves it.

Tell me, if the Switch shipped with a pro controller instead of a pair of joycons, meaning out of the box, it could not be used as a handheld, do you think that would change how Nintendo is conveying to the customer how the Switch is intended to be used? A simple yes or no answer is all that is needed.

What words am i changing the meaning of? This is what you said in your last post

"You just think it's a non-issue because it's never been an issue for you."

Arent something affecting you and something being an issue pretty much the same thing? Seems like you are arguing semantics.

Those are not at all the same thing so im not going to give you a yes or no answer for that. If a 100% dedicated home console has the same issue than it is illogical to use that same issue to argue that something is a handheld.

Also im actually quite a bit younger than you, only 26, my wife and i wanted kids young.

You're changing the meaning of "debunk".

I never even said it was an issue for me (it isn't). I said it bothered me (it doesn't). All I said was the situation I faced points to a clear priority in the design and development of the Switch towards it being primarily a handheld. But I do apologize for a poor choice of words there.

Ohh, you think the age in my profile is accurate? You're younger than me but not by as much as you think. My first memories of gaming were playing Super Mario Brothers and Master Blaster on the NES.

P.S. I don't know how you manage with three kids. My wife and I are having a hard enough time with our first. Props to you.

But that particular choice doesnt point to it being primarily a handheld. Xbox One is proof that such a choice has absolutely nothing to do with the "form factor" of the device since it is a 100% home console and has the same issue. The argument holds no weight.

And ya i assumed your profile age was accurate. But yeah its quite difficult lol they are about to be 1, 3 & 5 so definitely a handful. Im lucky that i make enough so my wife can be a stay at home mom. i dont know how she does it, i would go insane lol.

3 kids with stay at home mom... jesus christ.... you earn at least like 200k a year?

Haha not even half that, idk i guess we just do a good job at living within our means.

that makes me feel bad about managing money tbh
