Yea, because built-in voice chat is more of a gimmick than motion control is :rollingeyes:

I was referring more to web browsing, video streaming, etc.

I would guess it's for the same reason though. Wii U and to a lesser extent 3DS had a bloated and slow OS. Switch is reserving much less RAM for its OS than PS4 & XBO do. That's what extra apps that can run in the background would draw from, right?

Anyway I'm pretty sure if a game developer wants to incorporate voice chat in their game they can do so. Party chat is for talking to friends and has no direct connection to the game you're playing... so yes, I would call party chat a non-essential function for a game console. "Gimmick", if you like, although I do not.

Whyd the customer have to suffer when it's nintendo who's not capable of coding a decent app? Not every player is as masochist as some ppl here

 

And web browser is pretty damn essential. How are you gon connect to public wifi without web browser? Yknw many public wifi requires you to login thru web browser right? It's even more ironic when nintendo keeps advertising it as a play-wherever-you-want device (hint: splatoon2)
