What a pile of bullshit honestly, can you listen to the arguments instead of falling in such a gigantic fallacy? Nah, lets decide if he is right or not going by the number of Nintendo games he has and lets pretend we klnow the guy, jeez.

 I like Jim Sterling but he is being remarkably sensationalist here, many of his points are really questionable, now of course I know thats the part some of you dont want to hear though, many are confortable in false narrative in which everything is going wrong with Switch and this is like music for them ears.

Ok for starters, calm down. I've seen how you get around others when it comes to Nintendo arguments. No need to go apeshit because I pointed out that the guy you think is right on all accounts, just so happens to be all for Nintendo in the first place and is a huge fan of said company.

 

When has Jim ever not acted in such a sensationalist way?. The guy always says "thank god for me", in such a tone that makes him come off as a douche. That's about much his thing as it is for James Rolfe being the AVGN or Critic when he gets in his character, Jim has his own. I've watched TB's video and his issues, issues that I share as well, yet from some fans that are already sold on the Switch in general, those issues somehow aren't as "important" or are just somehow silly, something that can be excused in some way or another. The online charging and details for example cannot be twisted, that has been agreed on from most sides, but other issues haven't and that's the issue onto itself. What isn't an issue to you, will be for someone else. It's usually better to try understanding someone's issue than to brush it off entirely as "their fault" or being silly or bullshit, otherwise you end up coming off as someone unpleasant to talk to.

"I know thats the part some of you dont want to hear though,"

 

See this is what I'm talking about. This is a typical "mirror" type argument, where you deflect what was previously said in some way, back to the eprson that said it, as if to make them the same exact thing that the eprson had said earlier on. I've seen people on here say that about Nintendo fans "not wanting to hear" a "truth" of sorts. It's really not the ebst type of argument to just toss out there as it's merely a mirror and not an actual argument that completely cripples the other.

Jim isn't music to my ears. I've watched that guy's rebuttal, Jim and TB's videos, and I strongly share views with both Jim and TB on this one. I'm still on the fence about getting the device like I said before, but a fan isn't going to suddenly make all my concerns vanish into thin air, no instead it's up to Nintendo to do that as well as those who are interested in the device, but aren't sold on it from the moment they laid eyes on it and want it day 1 (as in they have zero qualms about getting it or what issues it may entail)

 

At the end of the day, when it comes to news or information, I'd likely want to hear it from a non fan's pov, as a dedicated fan's pov will always yield results that put the device in a far better light than simply being fair.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
