That no charger will sitting on the kickstand is actually a big oversight by Nintendo. It's one of the big features for it, but now you can only play for a little while before having to stop to charge it? Well, unless you make sure to play it with friends right after charging. Even then, you're not going to be able to marathon a game. They really should have moved the USB port to the top. From what the reviewer says, it seems to be a jack of all trades, but a master of none. I'm sure Nintendo fans will love it, but until it gets a serious price cut, I can see this thing following the same 3DS sales curve it saw a few months after launch.

Do you really think you are gonna be playing with the console while sitting on a kickstand for more than 3 hours regularly? or in the case of Games like 1,2 switch maybe more than 5 hours? Is not like you cant connect it while you are playing it in portable mode easily, because you can, if you think something like that is gonna affect the sales of the console in any even remotely meaningful way you need to think it twice.

Reread the bold.  I highly doubt gamers will ALWAYS be just taking this thing off the charger when trying to show it off to friends and family. 

@ 2nd bold

I get it.  Nothing is going to stop this thing from being a Wii-like success.  Even its myriad of small-medium issues in the eyes of non-Nintendo fans.
