| Zekkyou said: We're going to have to agree to disagree on the handheld front. I'm of the belief something has to be held in your hands to be a handheld. I don't consider the Switch a handheld when docked, so i don't see why i would when it's sitting on a table while i use a controller. That's just a more flexible version of it being docked. Regardless, as i already said there are other variables size can be relevant to. If he's using it as a traditional handheld akin to the Vita, the Switch is indeed bigger. If he's using it as a tablet, there's still more he needs to carry around. In both situations, he might simply prefer the screen to be smaller. None of these are contradictions. If you think he should clarify [xyz] then fine, but I find it odd you're unwilling to assume a neutral position, but are willing to assume he's being contradictory. The absence of information doesn't create a contradiction. You'll notice the closest to an assumption I've made is that he's talking about handhelds in the traditional sense, but my primary point of argument (that he hasn't said anything contradictory, and that his comment can be personally correct) doesn't require any assumption. I've not even said that his preferences aren't contradictory, just that this statement here isn't inherently. I never said it couldn't be responded to on that basis. It's just that the more limited the scope of a comment, the more likley it's subjectively genuine. I'd certainly respond differently to "it's a bit too big" and "jesus fuck this thing is massive, it's way too big". I'm not sure why you're coupling my and his preferences as being apposed to yours. All I've said to you on the Switch front is that i don't share Yoko's preferences. As i mentioned to goodnightmoon though, the Vita actually gave my hands cramps to i expect i'll prefer the Switch's design. |
You replied to me so unless you state otherwise you're assuming his stance when replying I don't care what discussion you had with someone else as that's nothing to do with me and only between the two of you.
I said the statement comes across as being a bit contradictory and gave a reason why as the two devices are near enough the same size (image above) to the point that even adding the JCs isn't much of a change in size if anything I find it more odd with you trying to spin some kind of agenda out of people responding to the statement.
I've told you straight if he clarfied his preference is in regards to solely using it with the JCs attached then that's fine clarification can do quite a bit to explain context, choice of words doesn't override the basic point that people are responding to which is about size that argument is null and void here and the responses to him are just as tame which is why I question why you have a problem with people responding him to begin with.
