The analogy sounds terrible, but it is actually not that far off from reality. The pictures of scratched Switch screens that are floating around seem to be the result of deliberate damage, not normal usage of the hardware. A NeoGAF user tried to replicate the damage by docking/undocking his Switch dozens of times at various angles and variable force, yet didn't get anything close to the pictures.
The dock is designed to cover the screen in order to make it clear that Switch is not another Wii U. There is no two-screen gaming on Switch, but an uncovered screen while docked could give the impression that there is. |
So are you telling me that DigitalFoundry was lying when they warned people of possible scratching because they said they scratched theirs?
We could argue which of the pictures are true. In the end, there's no denying that due to the poor dock build it has a possibility of scratching the Switch' screen.
Honestly, the more I see of Switch, the more I see how poorly thought out the design is. There's stabilty issues with portable joycons. Charging while using a kickstand is impossible as of now. A minor and dumb thing is not including a god damn browser for it. Goodluck connecting to wifi with a web login verification. List goes on.
I know some of these are idiotic and basically the users fault, but that part where people were ripping their nails out trying to remove a stuck part was absolutely horrendous.
It's like Nintendo focused on gimmicks more than just straigtening these basic design issues that could have been addressed during its development.
