Except it has alot less features that make the price worth it.

Also you dont get to own the game you get from the month, its just playable for free that month.

 

You want voice chat? go download the app for your smart phone, log in via the app, and use your phone to talk to other gamers your playing with.

you heard me..... use your phone.... for voice chat in games.

Thats nintendos solution.

Like wtf?

Man dude you're in full hate mode dude. Listen to the shit you're saying it doesn't even make sense. 

"Also you dont get to own the game you get from the month, its just playable for free that month."

And you don't own the game you play on Playstation either, it's locked behind DRM. You have to pay every month to keep playing it.

"Except it has alot less features that make the price worth it."

We don't know the price though?????????

"You want voice chat? go download the app for your smart phone, log in via the app, and use your phone to talk to other gamers your playing with.

Pretty sure that's for the mobile component dude...

NO, you're the one not making sense.  How is playing a game for ONE month even comparable to playing it whenever you want as long as you continue with your subscription?  It's not.  And are they giving 2 games or just one?  Are they offering deep discounts on games, like 60%-90% off, that you do get to keep for forever?  If not, then Nintendo is ripping gamers off.  If you think people are going to except anything less than what has become the standard for online gaming on consoles, you are being quite naive. And voice chat through your phone?  What are gamers even paying for?

And sure, we don't know the price, but it looks like with the Switch, Nintendo is looking to charge a premium for products that aren't that premium.  $299 for a $199 Nvidia Shield with a 720p screen?  Even if it cost $150 to make a Shield, it doesn't cost $150 for a screen.  $70 for a Pro controller?  When Sony and MS are charging $60 or less?  Joycons for $80?  There's no way the those controllers cost anywhere near that to make.  $90 for a dock that just charges the console and plugs it to your TV?  Again, nowhere near that price.  Nintendo seems to be trying to price gouge its diehard fans that will buy a Nintendo system, no matter what.
