Weeks? lol

Gameboy pocket was like 8-10 hours playing Pokemon, and after that you had to pay more to play, you are basically saying things were better when you had to go at the store and pay more money every few days to keep playing instead of charging it every 2.5 -6.5 hour in any plug...

Uhuh. Now look at a post made just half-an-hour after yours. If you lasted only 8 hours with your GameBoy you had sucky batteries. I brought my GameBoys on holidays for weeks and never changed batteries during. Besides, batteries were also rechargable if needed to, so it's the same. If you bought the correct ones initially of course.

But in any case that was hardly the main point, that statement was merely the lead-up, to the question of how low battery-life must go before it's not acceptable anymore? 2 hours? 1 hour? Or will portability soon require a full charge-pack 100% of the time? I know I'm picking on Switch, but it goes for every modern device. We're now living with devices that only hold out a tenth of the time their old predecessors could. Battery technology needs a giant leap forward sooner rather than later.

Game Boy POCKET had 8-10 battery life, look it up.
