So here's the deal. Last year Nintendo launched their first mobile game in the form of Pokemon Go wich uses (a very simple form of) AR. It became a worldwide rage. You would think they would embrace AR and couldn't wait to create a high quality  full price version of that game for their next mobile device right?Wrong! The Switch doesn't have a single camera. So no AR, no video chat, no fun video editing, nothing.

Can someone please explain how this happened?

I assume it was a cost-driven choice. Packing that much power into this little thing must have costed so much they had to remove the possibility of cameras.
