Since I first saw the video presentation in october I always thought it would not be a success. Sub par graphical power, too many complicated controls, poor third party support, low quality aspect of the console itself, not enough power for the gamer community, too much gamer designed for the casual crowd, also the casuals have really really really moved on from traditional gaming

This post is amazing

- Subpar graphical power
- Not enough power for the gaming comunity

(Those are supposed to be 2 different reasons? lol)

- Too many complicated controls (what?)
- Low quality aspect of the console itself (what??)

(2 nonsense random reasons to make the list bigger)

- Poor third party support
- Too much game designed for the casual crow

( ... The console has not even been fully revealed yet, let alone released and you are already judging its nonexistant library?)

Just... wow

I should have written in a separate sentence "not enough power for the gaming community, but designed too much as a gamer device to please the casuals" I fucked up that one. It was a separate arguments but poorly written.

I explained the too many complicated controls in another comment. 

Low quality. Yes, I m talking about the finitions, the exterior design. The ergonomy looks okay, but the plastics are just shameful, we saw it at the late tonight show, it just look like somthing designed by a chinese company. Poor quality looking plastics, grey and black colors? That bulky dock? The controller that looks like it was made by xiaomi? The joycon support????

I mean just wtf happened here? I mean don t go and try to replicate apple designs, but at least try to make something appealing to other people than a 16 yo. The vita looks like a jewel in comparison with its glossy finish, it looks like a quality made product. The switch looks again, like a chinese knock off.

 

Poor third party support... well yes maybe I ll be wrong, but it s a guess, like my prediction of the Switch failure is a guess too. 

And when I mean failure I mean that the Switch will have to be a more successful console thant the 3ds and WiiU reunited. And right now, I don t see that kind of success
