I cannot agree with your comparisons. If you think the Elite Controller is nickle and dimming consumers than i am not sure what else to tell you. Guess any accessory sold separately is nickle and dimming which they all do.

If you found the XB1 not worth buying than it did fail you. However did it fail MS? No.

So both the Switch and Gamecube miss out on plenty of AAA 3rd party exclusives and one console sits on 90m+ units sold and the other sold 21m units.Those Switch sales haven't done enough to get all those games on board. See my point yet? Sales help but they are not everything, otherwise the Switch would have majority of 3rd party games, yet not all companies see the potential of porting games to the fairly high userbase.

The Gamecube had only a few hundred games, the Switch has over 15 times as many.

You also understand the Switch has an online infrastructure which boost game numbers right? What about the big AAA games? Why isn't every company getting on board the Switch? If you want to include all the small indy games on the Switch, than we might as well admit that online gaming is the way to go which is exactly what Xbox is focusing on. Steam has over 50 thousand games, curious how many Consoles has Valve sold to get that many games? 

I will agree that a more successful platform will attract more games, hence the term platform.

Some of them give you the upgraded controller free with the console. Some of them offer faster (and more) third party storage for the same price or less. Some try to force 'extras' with the console, even if the consumers don't want it, adding hundred(s) of dollars to the cost.

I thought all that mattered was the individuals personal outlook. Also, how can you know it didn't fail MS?

Dude.. i cant believe you are still trying to use the Elite Controller as your example, its completely different. Its a premium controller that's sold separately with the console. If you want the controller you have to pay extra for it, its too expensive for the average user. You can buy it bundled however the price of the bundle goes up because its expensive. Imagine if you brought an Elite controller and Xbox than charges you a fee to use its features for some games, thats what Sony is doing with the DS.

Your comparison is like if you went out to buy a car and you brought the V6 model, than complain that the V8 should of been the standard and at no extra cost. The Elite Controller is the V8 in this sense. The car company doesn't charge you extra to use the extra 2 cylinders after you already brought the V8 model.
