That video is spot on. I don't buy. ^^
But it's not because of a button.

vivster said: Wrong. New technology should have more features than previous generations. It's bad enough that consoles barely evolve so we simply cannot and should not support consoles that are trying to go backwards. A lot of features have been added to consoles only because of strong demands by customers. So telling people to stop demanding more features is counter productive. |
But the Switch does have a lot of new features. It's a hybrid console, has HD rumble, the Joy-Cons with all their tech inside, improved motion control and comes with two controllers out of the box. That's not a lack of new features, it's an overabundance. What if I value those features over a headphone jack on my controller or a more powerful system?
I get where you're coming from but this is not a case of better or worse. Sony Microsoft and Nintendo are just going in different directions.

Try again.
EDIT: Thanks BraLoD, I knew I could count on you :') |
I think what he meant was this:
If you're a hardcore gamer who plays online all the time and needs the best graphics, etc. the Switch clearly wasn't made for you. Which is ok. But some people don't actually complain about a missing feature, they complain about the general direction Nintendo is taking. Kinda like a guy who complains about the existence of female hygiene products, even though a) these things were definitely not made for him b) he wouldn't have use for a tampon even if they added that headphone jack and c) there's clearly a market for these kinds of products.
(And this analogy is totally ok because all Nintendo fans are girls.)
im sure you were trying to make a point, but i cant find it anywhere

Except that PS4 and Xbox One also cut features. In a perfect world, that wouldn't have been the case.
Example: Can't download content from the web on PS4. You could on PS3. It took months, if not years for some last gen features to be included in current gen consoles.

Well if that isn't the perfect case to demand features on new consoles even louder.

That's okay. I can be a little hard to understand, sometimes.
My point is that people are criticising the Nintendo Switch for every little feature that it doesn't offer. It offers a lot. If a certain missing feature is that important, vote with your wallet and don't buy it.
At the same time, don't attack the Switch for not having certain features at launch unless you're willing to acknowledge that other consoles have done the same. If they get a free pass, then so should Nintendo. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite.
And, above all, don't be one of those people who criticise other consoles just because they aren't your brand of choice.
Hope that clears it up for you.

Perhaps it does. You've taught me something, vivster. And your avatar is wonderful, I might add.

No it has an X, Sony have a ☓

So Backwards Compatibility is a no-no, huh. |
Funny enough, BC is a concept that only exists because consoles are so terrible.

Where are the following threads: - PS4/X1 controllers don't have HD rumble. - PS4/X1 controllers don't have a motion IR camera. - PS4/X1 controllers don't have an NFC chip. - PS4/X1 can't be played on the go. - PS4/X1 don't have touch screens. - PS4/X1 don't come with two controllers right out of the box. - PS4/X1 don't have detachable controllers. People need to accept that the Switch is a different console. |
See the thing is, people have to want these features. If one of the features of the X1 was that it randomly released putrid smells into the air while playing, no one would be "where is the PS4's fart feature? Sony has let us down!". The complaints about the Switch lacking this and that is because these are features people want, these are features people expect from a console in 2017. Many of the people complaining about the Switch missing features would gladly trade most if not all of the features you listed as an "advantage" for the features that are important to them.
