"It makes total sense for Nintendo. But if you're like me, as in someone who just wants to sit in front of his tv with a normal controller and play Nintendo games, you'd be paying for a lot of stuff you're never going to use by buying the Switch."

I've had some time to let the Switch Presentation sink in. And although I still think they should have included the Joy-Con charge grip with the system, instead of that shell they packed in, I think what comes packed in is enough to enjoy the Switch on your TV without having to buy anything else.

The Joy-Cons have a 20 hours battery life. So you play all day, and when you go to bed, you simply put them back on the docked Switch. If you like to play with a normal controller configuration, you have the grip, and if that's not enough, for whatever reason, there's always the option for the Pro Controller. Which I still think costs too much (like all the optional peripherals).

You don't need to buy anything else.  You get those if you're not happy with what's already packed-in. But before you decide that you're not happy with it all, can you wait until you've actually tried the actual setup?

My issue with the Switch isn't that I feel like I'm going to have to buy other things, it's that with it being portable, I'm paying for a screen, and a battery, and the miniturization that had to take place to make that all possible. When realistically it wouldn't leave it's dock more than a few times over the entire time I own it.

As I say in that post, I fully understand the reasoning behind it. It just doesn't work out great for me personally.
