Good god. Voice chat on your phone on a paid service? One rental 90's game a month after already paying 5 or 10 euro for some classics on wii? 70 euro controller which is almost certainly required for extended living room play?

Oh, lord. Why wasn;t this in the actual event? Dammit, the price, the lack of games, the battery life and the joy controllers and the focus on mini games had me put off already but now I'm absolutely sure I will not be buying this over its lifetime unless they make significant effort to rectify the above problems soon after launch and can grab some assurance that it isn't going to die six months after release.

....I smell a dreamcast sized failure with this one. :(

Just because hardcore gamers don't like the Switch doesn't mean other people won't buy it. The reason you're saying that is because you have it in your mind that Nintendo needs to sell their accessories at a competitive price. Problem is, they don't. For 99% of Switch buyers, accessories aren't necessary. Except for the Controller, which is ironically the only accessory priced reasonably(70$). A Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon game in the first year, as well as  smaller niche titles that will do well region wide(like Fire Emblem Warriors or Xenoblade 2) will make this a success. 

Not sure the pro controller is reasonably priced at $70. I can buy a Dualshock 4 right now for $48 on Amazon, and so far there is no indication the pro controller is even as technical as a Dualshock 4.
