Everybody hated Nintendo so I loved Nintendo. Now, everybody loves Nintendo so I guess I have to throw some hate their way.

 

First things first, the only thing that matters when it comes to a gaming console is the games. If a console has the games and the gaming experience that you're satisfied with, everything else is just extra. I could list a dozen features that the Xbox One and WiiU had that the PS4 didn't. It doesn't matter. People wanted the PS4 for its library and power. I can't argue with that.

 

-The meat of this topic-

 

The Switch launched in March and it's currently the fastest selling home console in history. I bought mine on day one and I love it! However, there's a list of features that I wish it had. I made a list. Strangely enough, when I look at my list of most wanted features, the PlayStation Vita had almost all of them!

 

 

  • Bluetooth headphone support?
  • Wallpapers/Themes
  • Built in voice chat
  • Web browser
  • Netflix and other streaming services
  • Folders
  • Lock screen password/PIN
  • Camera
  • Backwards compatibility
  • Downloadable library of old games
  • Cross Console purchases
  • Messages
It's pretty crazy. I mean the Vita launched like five or six years ago and yet the newly released Nintendo Switch can't compare in terms of features. Am I the only one a little bothered by this?

 

What do i need wallpapers and themes, a camera, folders, web browser, netflix and other streaming services for in a gaming system?

The feature that makes me most perplexed that you claim as a ”most wanted” is a camera. Yay another device with a crappy camera.

Some of these features will probably come, but I kind of hope they don’t. It’s nice to have a dedicated gaming device without usless overhead and memory usage for meaningless non gaming finctions.

 

I’ve decided this is a troll topic

It's not always about what YOU want. There was a fake Switch version 5.0 update that had a ton of features and people were super happy and excited. It had features that PEOPLE WANTED. The Vita has those features. This isn't a "buy a Vita" thread. This is a thread asking why the Switch doesn't have features that an older failure of a system offers.

Add me on Switch. SW-0666-6288-1304
