Switch online requires Phone App? Why is no one talking about this?

Really?

Having a browser or not on a console decides if Nintendo will be successful or not? That's really grasping at straws. Netflix will come later. Youtube? Is it really that necessary?  The next thing is, that I can't play blurays on the switch, can't use Whatsapp and don't have android on it. And to top it all of, where is the Facebook app? What? No Facebook app? FAIL NINTENDO.

"Impossible to charge and play on the Tv at the same time"  The battery life is about 20 hours. What is the issue from placing them on the dock to charge them when you are done gaming? If someone is really so bothered by it, then buy the charger grip.  

Those aren't issues. Really, stop making them sound like they were.

I agree with limited online functionality.

But I don't really agree with small internal storage. A bigger flashdrive would increase the costs by a lot. You are still open to use additional SDXC cards up to 2TB!!

"Thanks Gribs.... I thought that was obvious."

Well, and I thought it was obvious that those are no real issues. Well, guess I was wrong with that.

Hmmmm.... I am beginning to notice a pattern here amongst nintendo fans. So anything taht doesn't affect you isn't a real issue?

The concept of subjectivity just seems to totally go over your head. And while all those things mentions are individually not big issues, a combination of any two or thre of them could be what it takes to make someone not buy in. Thats kinda how these things work. 

Because something doesn't matter to you doesn't mean that there isn't someone out there that it matters to. If you don't get that then I don't know what else to say. 

You seem to think taht everyone that buys a console is hell bent and determined and maybe even begging to buy it. Some poepl, make very calculated cautious choices as to which or when to buy a console and take notice of every other device fighting for that same usage scenario or money. Or is that concept lost to you too?

Lets take me for instance.... Being how I prefer to use my consoles this is what happens

 

• I will primarily use it connected to a large screen in its docked mode, and since I cant charge the joycons unless they are connected to the switch itself, I would either have to buy pro controller ($70) or a joycon USB grip ($30). 
• I buy all my games digitally, so it means I will have to buy an SD card. 128GB ($40) , 500GB ($390+)... lets not even talk about 2TB!!!!!!

Those are my two major issues, the other would just be an annoyance. But those two issues makes the cost of entry for me go up from $299 to $370/$400 or a whopping $800 if I am stupid enough to want to get a 500GB SD card. 

See what I mean?

 

Seriously. It's an issue for you, because you seem to make one out of it for the sake of it. You think you reflect the majority of complains about the console. No, you simply don't.

First point. Like I already said: You can attach the joy-cons on the handheld for charging them up after you are done gaming. If that is way too much for you, then sadly, you have to spend 30 $ for that power grip. Maybe there will be a bundled pro Controller at a slightly higher cost. Who knows. But at this moment, there is not.

Second point. Because YOU buy all your games digitally, does this mean that the issue is on Nintendo? What do you actually expect them to do? Ask you first how much GB you need for your games and then produce the console at a higher price point? People are now complaining that this device is way too expensive for completely different reasons. Seriously, what do you want? If they increase the flashdrive to 128 GB then you can expect a higher cost of min. 100$. Thus will be too expensive for too many people. And I promise you, there will still be people complaining that the flashdrive size of 128 gb is still too small. This issue is enterily on you. The consumer. You have the option to buy the games physically.

"Hmmmm.... I am beginning to notice a pattern here amongst nintendo fans. So anything taht doesn't affect you isn't a real issue?

And what the hell? Because you are unable to provide a reasonable argument against me, it must be because of me liking Nintendo stuff that I am not agreeing to everything you throw at me? Yeah, tell yourself that. Fox and the grapes. Read it.
