"Even if the Switch’s questionable internals and control issues don’t dissuade you from using it like a gaming console, it suffers numerous other issues and inconveniences when it’s hooked up to your TV. The most glaring is that there is no way to lay the system on its side while docked, which is particularly irritating given that the game card slot, headphone jack, headphone volume controls, and power button are all along the top of the system. If you, like many people, keep your consoles in an entertainment system of some kind with shelves, there simply isn’t a convenient way to get to any of this stuff."

"Because that USB-C port is on the bottom of the tablet, there’s an odd conflict: you cannot charge the Switch if you’ve propped it up with its built-in (and rather flimsy) kickstand as a shared screen for multiplayer games like Super Bomberman R, where up to four people can play with one Joy-Con a piece. It’s not a massive deal, but it highlights the push and pull that typifies the system: it’s trying to be so many things at once that it can’t pull any of them off perfectly."

Really? Those a big problems for him? Holy shit IGN that's pathetic, wait until this thing seells like hotcakes and they do a re-review in one year droping most of this complains, upgrading the score and losing their credibility again.

Whether it sells or not is also irrelevant to this, it's like saying you shouldn't complain about the Wii having only 512MB of on-board storage because it sold well for a few years.
