I admitted , i had planed to buy Switch this year (not day one) but in the summer or holiday season 2017 , when it was announced on October , i fall in love,  i like the concept to play Wii U power level graphic on the go, it has Zelda BOTW, and Skyrim, and even so a truly Super Mario 64 successor . And new Xenoblade. 

But then i stumble on the price, really, 300 USD , with that money i can buy new GPU or PS4 .  Ridiculous online service payment, and battery live, i tough it would be around 3-4 hours minimum but it's 2.5 hours minimum and 6 hour for 6 ( i bet 2d style games or old gen games with low speaker volumes, brightness , no Wifi enable) .

And so i guess i will wait for 2018, and also another factor i am considered is i will wait for more first party games, and portable  batteries that can be attached to the Switch.  For the price i bet they will not cut the price even after 2 years (it's Nintendo and we know how they persistent with the price). But at last i can save some money. 

This seems like something you could just have posted in one of the "Are you buying a Switch" threads...

The online is the only thing that is really urghing me. I am gonna wait till fall to see the actual price and more details but just :T

The price, a bit higher than expected

Not a fan of the battery. I was hoping for 5 hoursh. 2.5 is like lower than what many people's "realistic" minimum's were. Neither the price or the battery would affect me too greatly if it wasn't for that online.

Yes we need more confirmation about the online service. and F**k that batery lives LOL, how i supposed to shows my friend a beatiful portable games, if it's only 2.5 hours. 

Time to buy a battery bank I guess

:T

God bless people who don't care about those 3 things.

The price I can see it being lowered rather fast.I can see either a 50 dollar discount or a good bundle by holiday, and in two years it should be more affordable.So not THAT much of an issue.And battery life is not as bad as people make it out to be.Most games will be a minimum betwenn 3 to 3.5 hours, and thats acceptable.Online pay howerver, is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.....  Nintendo could have taken this chance to leave multiplayer out of the subscription and gain a leverage over the others but didnt.Well, we will see how it turns out

I'm going to be playing the switch more at home anyway. I'm not really going to need 2 hours out and about just to play a game so I'm good. The price, wasn't what I was expecting at all. It could have easily gone down in price if they didn't jam pack so much technology into the switch controllers. And a lot of the technology is pretty useless tough...

Online, yes it sucks. But you can't just run these things for free for very long. That's money out of Nintendo's pocket for free online. That's why Sony and Microsoft don't do it. It costs. But you do get at least NES and SNES games.

Actually i dont mind playing with battery bank, but i want to have that attached to the Switch not the one using usb LOL . 

Good points. You can wait 3 years and get the following benefits.

Cheaper console,
Sufficient library,
Probably a better model with improvements like better battery life
