The DS4 cable is roughtly one meter long.I dont see how you can play a game confortably in that setup, unless you sit right next to a power socket.As for your last point, you are better than this.Fanboy in this context(and be honest, thats what you basically called me in that analogy) is as the same as calling me an idiot.But lets stop this here, I dont want to go down that hole.
You are still missing my point. It doesnt matter if the DS4 cable is 30cm long. It still allows you be able to charge and play simultaneously. And its also using a generic USB cable, meaning I could have it plugged into my laptop and charge while playing on my TV, I could use the charger for my phone....etc. All these things you are saying is not answering the one thing I can saying. You want to shut me up? then tell me how I can play the switch on my TV and charge the controller at the same time. Without spending an additional $30
Im not gobbling up whatever they throw.I find the acessories price horrible.The Joy-con(the pack) could have been 10 to 20 dollars cheaper and the Pro Controllers price would be ideal at 60 dollars for example.Their online offering(so far) seems really bad too.That one game per month for that month only is especially bad.But I wont deny when Nintendo made a good choice, and one of them being the battery life inside the joy con.Lets assume that the average hardcore gamer plays 5 hours a day.Thats 4 days without recharging.I get that for you that is unnaceptable for it not recharging on the grip, but for the majority of the costumers, it simply wont be an issue.When they finish playing the game, they will simply go to the main unit and put the joycons in it and reacharge them.If they forget one day, no proble, they still have 15 hours and so on.But for people that want the "complete" package, they are selling a grip with a recharger.Thats why there is one.
Well thats all good. But you still don't get it. It doesn't matter if the battery life is 3hrs or 100hrs. It is just extremly flawed engineering to omit such a little feature, to omit something that means you limit or inhibit how your product is used for whatever their reason. But it gets a lot worse when you consider that they actually thought about it. Thy actually realized this would be something useful to some people and even though its something every console in history has been able to do. Then decide to charge you seperately for it. Thats just wrong. And again, we are talking about a USB port here. You know they grip they sell for $10 without the USB port, they could make the same thing with a USB port and earphone jack, sell it for $5 and still make a profit. Yet the sell one with a USB port for $30???!!!
