Nintendo Switch... the gimmick is not bad.

Yea but that's not a good reason... If it wants to be portable, Nintendo shouldn't half-ass the portability. Every tablet that sells these days have a 10 hour battery life. Now I am not asking for 10 hours but at least 5. Saying that I have to buy additional stuff because Nintendo/Nvidia didn't think about the basics is not a good excuse...

I agree that its good that the game design isn't going to be affected but this gimmick still can be considered a bad one. And it certainly will by the reviewers if thats what the battery life is. 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Come on theres a big difference between a tablet that lasts 10 hours and a portable console that can game for 10 hours.
Try playing an intensive game on your tablet nonstop for 10 hours and see how long it actually lasts.

If the Switch can game for 3 hours straight before needing to be charged then thats pretty solid. 
Also I know im a typical nerd who doesnt leave the house much and all but who is spending 3+ hours away from a power outlet where they want to be gaming??

Yes but this has to convience people that they need either another one or they need this one instead... And not to mention that this isn't like a ps4 on the go... It is still using mobile parts like an arm cpu + a very low power Nvidia GPU.

While I understand the argument of what is doing is impressive... Gaming is what this is primarily meant for. Its easy for people in forums to understand why it has a 3 hour battery but what about the causals? If the reviews say, oh it has a 3 hour battery, do you really think the masses will be impressed?

Also to answer your question. If its portable... Anyone going outside?
