I hadn't played my Switch in forever because there hasn't been any good releases on it lately, and now suddenly it won't even charge anymore for some reason. I tried the dock, my car charger, and my phone charger (Pixel 2 uses USB C).
I gotta figure out my situation before Pokemon releases, last exclusive I bought was Mario Odyssey, nothing good has released since then.

Nothing that suits your tastes has released since then. Plenty of good games have released since then

I barely play any system now except PC. My games in Crusader Kings 2 just last too long. I am happy that it is now my highest played game in Steam with 190 hours, and I finally got decent at the game.

Nice to see a fellow 4x paradox gamer.  Once you pass the 1000 hour mark you've learned some pretty OP stuff.

I hardly have used my PS4 for gaming since I've gotten it.  I've played a few games on it, but mostly I just use it to watch Blue Rays.  I don't care about online gaming, and there are fewer games I'm interested in on PS4 than on previous playstations.  On top of that now that I have a Switch, I really love the convenience factor.  So I actually do have a couple of PS4 games that I want to play, but they are just gathering dust.

On the other hand Switch just has everything I want?  Local co-op?  Check.  Portability?  Check.  It also tends to have more games that I like.  Nintendo has a lot of great first party games, with Zelda by itself making the Switch a must-own system.  When I look at PS4, I struggle to find games I want.  When I look at Switch, I find far more games than I have time to play.  Switch just has so much of what I want, that I don't really have a reason to play another console.



I own a PS4 and Xbox One X, and this is the concern I have with the Switch.

Arguably I don't have sufficient time for my current consoles, so it occurs to me a console that can go mobile would work well for me.

I feel like I'd buy the console, absolutely adore Zelda, Pokemon and Mario and then never touch is again (well, until the next Zelda, Pokemon and Mario). That said, I can't miss out entirely on Zelda and Pokemon, so I suspect after a price drop I will cave and buy a Switch.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Pretty much the same with me. I grab an exclusive game for it every 4 or 5 months play it for 3 or 4 days and then dont go back to it until the next game comes out. I play retro PC games more than I play my Switch. Was just playing Red Alert 1 a couple days ago :)

2-3 hours a week. I just don't have much more time playing on it lately. Especially not than I tend to play grand strategy games on my PC (Hearts of Iron for instance) or other endless games (like Banished) that soak out a huge chunk of my free time.



same.i hardly touch the switch because i never take it with me to work, shopping or when i hang out with friends. i use the ps4 everyday because of voice chat, AAA 3rd party games, mmos games, i play alot of ff14, tera and occasionally elder scrolls online, fighting games. and i wouldnt play fighting games on the switch because of lack of d pad and of course voice chat



I almost exclusively game on Switch. When I don't, it is the odd 3DS game that I have in my backlog, or when I have people over and we play some older Ninty consoles.
I don't know how people have the time to game on more than 1 system at a time. I would definitely try out PS4 if I had the time, but there are just too many games on Switch that I want to try out.

I have every single switch exclusive and I probably play it for like 30 minutes a week. I like the system, it's great. Just prefer to play the ps4 and use the switch when my gf wants me to go to bed early :P
