Nobody? Ok ok, sure.... all criticisms deflected but no defense...

Defending by bringing up valid points is not the same as "apologizing for shortcomings" or "deflecting critism".

Why do you get so offended anytime somebody brings up the portable aspect of Switch?

I get offended when people flip flop between it being HH or console depending if they need to show strong points of it being HH instead of console (like saying well I can play it on the go so it being weaker isn't even a concern) but back to being a console if they want to compare sales... then it is more of a console when battery life or price of games is pointed at.

I perfectly accept Switch as a HH that can be plugged to the TV a little more streamlined than PSP or PSVita, but shenanigans as "I have always been a playstation fanboy, but haven't bought a PS4 because it doesn't have 5 must have games... hey I bought Switch because Skyrim on the go is like a totally different game". Of course pretending there aren't other systems that were HH and could be used on the TV and that Nintendo created the switch as if not an improved NVidia Shield.

There is a big difference between saying "I don't care much about graphics, but love portability" to "graphics doesn't matter". Nintendo decision to be low powered isn't due to portability, is something they have been doing since Wii. At the time the apologies where the type "but it's fun", "it's novel", "it have motion controller" as if those couldn't be achieved if the system was stronger...

And of course when ports doesn't go to switch it is because devs hate Nintendo, not because of Nintendo own choices.
