Nintendo Switch’s Bundled Joy-Con Grip Won’t Charge the Controllers

That comes out as apologetic. Don't you think?

And my position about the Switch isn't that it's doing everything wrong. The concept for the Joy-Con is great.  Cool for the multiplayer games with simpler controls. The portable/home console concept is great. It's the most awesome handheld console ever for sure. The console's form-factor is great and it's the best looking one Nintendo's ever designed. 

That doesn't change any of the negatives. That doesn't change the fact that Nintendo is being greedy and should have included the usb port on every single grip that comes out of their production plants. 

Nope, I don't think so. If you criticize something, you should talk about the positives as well as the negatives.

Of course Nintendo is going for profits. They aren't going to repeat the stupidity of the Wii U where they sold the system at a loss and made a new controller that wasn't sold separately because it made no sense to sell it separately. Nintendo is telling you that the Joy-cons are awesome and they develop games that make you want to buy more Joy-cons. But those separate Joy-cons don't come with wrist straps that make them more ergonomic when held sideways, so you have to buy wrist straps separately.

A grip to charge Joy-cons is not an essential part of the system. People aren't forced into buying an additional one to have a complete system. If you don't like it, don't buy it. After all, you don't need it.

If we don't need it, why are they including one [that doesn't have a usb port) with the console?

And by apologetic, I meant your stance.
