I see a lot of people wanting more media features, but Smart TVs are becoming more and more mainstream and in turn makes these extra features on your console obsolete.  We are not there yet, but soon everyone will have a smart TV.  Those that would still use such features will be a very small minority and likely no longer worth the effort.  The Wii however existed in different times and at the time, those extra features were useful.  For me, as soon as I got my Smart TV just about every media app on my PS4 became worthless to me.

 

Not to say the Switch is bot lacking in certain features, but most of the ones people are going on about are becoming more and more obsolete by the day as far as consoles are concerned.

Yer but i live in a region where the NBA, NFL and MLB think our TVs do not need their apps (who knows maybe newer models have them). I even tried plex on my server as plex works on a tv here and it also has the NFL channel you can install, but even then it doesn't load content it errors out, only some of the older files load. The PS4 is our only option. Even then need to signup to a US account to get some of the apps lol.  They will sell you a subscription but won't give you an app to use it? You have to log into the stupid website to watch stuff.

Anyway, those aren't that important, whats important is being able to manage games well, like backup files on the system. Why can't I put the same file on the memory card? it is stupid. I haven't looked but do you still need all the cables and a phone to use chat in games? why not direct console support?

Messages, voice chat, and organization seem to be the real problems with me.  The voice chat is the same as PS3 where the game itself can run it natively but there is no party chat.  Unfortunately the only 2 games that do this are Fortnite and Warframe.  Honestly by just allowing us to install the app on the Switch itself would almost solve the voice chat problem, but I guess that makes too much sense.

 

As for organization, just allow me to make folders and I am good.
