Vastly superior?, so i take it you're taking the "estimated 40 hours, may be less depending on usage" as gospel then?

My someones going to look silly after launch.

The Wii U pro controller lasted 80 hours while actively playing.

My someone's looking silly just about now. 

That's funny, because off of a full charge mine only lasts about 33 hours of actual gameplay (XCX, Fatal frame and a bit of MK8), which is less than half the advertised and much repeated time of 80 hours, and it was only a month old at the time.

Again, both the 80 hours for the wiiu pro controller and the 40 for the switch are estimates for minimal input.

Conversely, my standard xbox one controller lasts about the same as the wiiu pro controller did, when using a set of eneloop rechargable AA batteries.

So if we estimate that the realistic battery life of the controller under heavy use is say.. half the estimated, that puts the switch pro controller at 20 hours give or take a few., significantly less than my xbox one controller under the same usage.

So where's your "vastly suprior" now?
