As someone who functionally never games outside of their home (regardless to if that gaming is on a portable device), i find the Switch incredibly depressing. I understand why it's priced and speced how it is, but to me personally i'm effectively being asked to pay the full price of a brand new 2017 system for something that's specs i'd have thought poor half a decade ago. Even the Pro, which serves no function other than to offer me improved image quality feels like a better value proposition.

I will more than likley pick up a Switch eventually (Zelda alone makes it a probable event), but not until it's either significantly cheaper, or has more games i want enough to disregard my backlog. A mainline Pokemon entry for the Switch that makes proper use of the hardware would do it. Specs from a 1960s calculator or not, when you're use to play Pokemon on a stone tablet, the Switch might as well be a super computer
