I knew what he meant. I pointed it out so others might know as well. 

The 3G PlayStation Vita is still the best Mobile device I have ever used.

I picked up a Switch November 7th, along with Mario Odyessy, Zelda, and Mario Kart. Played Mario Odyessy about 5 hours a day for weeks, and only spent about 3 hours each with the other two. I did a free trial of Hulu to check out their Live TV, but Vue is much better, so that didn't stick. Now that the holidays are over and I have less time at home, I have not used the Switch for anything. And that irritates the shit out of me.

I still take the 3G Vita with me to work because it fits in my pocket along with my flip phone. Since it is with me, I end up Remote Playing PS4, or playing one of the many PS1, PSP, or PS Vita games I have installed. When I get home I either use my 3G Vita or my Slim Vita for web browsing, e-mail, Youtube, Netflix, Crackle, Twitter, or continue the game I was playing earlier in the day. Otherwise I am using PSVR or the PS4 for one of the things above.

I really want to get more out of my Switch. The bigger screen would make it perfect for doing quick web searches while I am watching something on TV, or checking e-mails, or looking at social media. If I have it out for stuff like that I am much more likely to jump into a game or check the e-shop for something new.

Hopefully Nintendo can address these short comings on the software skde over the next year. I am looking forward to what they do with their paid network service, and hope that some of thatmoney goes toward improving and expanding the OS. On the hardware side, a small more pocketable Switch with 4G or 5G would finally give us a product that out performs the Vita, and gives us a decent option in the mobile space.

I am tired of crap phones, and I hope Nintendo can use what they have here to finally advance the mobile space.

I personally think the vita has been the most underrated and under appreciated handholdnof all time. It had tons of brilliant features, a great screen and really comfortable hold to game with. It could produce really nice visuals (by far the best at its time for handholds)

The problem was nintendo pretty much owned the handhold market and people just didn’t give the vita the time of day. It’s a shame really but I guess the thats competitve business, and Nintendo won that market even with what I thought was a awesome handhold but inferior to what the vita was capable of.

Not only is it inaccurate because it doesn't mention it is only in one region/location but it also fails to mention the time scale so doubly inaccurate. Fastest selling for how long. A quick google brings up this.

With very different results. It's just the way statistics are manipulated. 

What if there is some village somewhere that has only bought 2 Ouya consoles ever out of maybe only 19 households mainly elderly can I state the best selling, fastest selling, most popular console ever is the Ouya without clarifying anything else?

Ultimately what really matters is how many are sold in total worldwide and the Switch is incredibly healthy sales wise at the moment. Some consoles lose momentum like the Dreamcast for example and many others and really we shouldn't count our chickens with regard the Switch.

Here in Europe the Switch is not even close to PS4 popularity and in Japan the reverse is true with the Switch storming ahead. Xbox sales are also pretty healthy even in 3rd place overall. Fantastic for consumers with 3 major companies competing in gaming keeping prices competitive. 

Nah PSP was a beast cause it launched before phones. 

Before smart phones I used my PSP for everything, i.e. music, videos as did most my friends. I would never leave home wthout it. I reckon 90% of my time on the PSP was the media functionality.

Now with a phone I do all that and more on it.

With my VITA all i do is play games with it and that's been a while now.

WIth my smart phone I cna now link to the TV to play 1080p videos too so no need for my switch to do all that.

Saying all this I have no objection in what you think the switch needs. Everyone is different but for most people they can't live without the smart phone being less than a meter away from them lol.

The practical things like themes, folders etc I think everyone would love to see.

Looks like you're getting a lot of counter arguments.. though, none of em really makes sense to me.

Most notable is the phone argument.. whats a uber fast and more technologically advance phone gonna do to help with your switch problem? ZERO.

Only thing I'd disagree on is the streaming services.. not that It wouldn't be usefull, but I just dont care for em at all. 

On a side note, the reason the vita failed was coz lots of its games were available on the PSP and PS3 making it next to useless.. that and its huge as a brick with crappy batter life and the memory card was expensive as fuq. Only real reason to have a vita is for persona 4 golden. (i think it hasn't been ported else where yet..) everything else can be played else where or you can just pass on em as they aint that awesome anyways..

If only Sony just shoved a bunch of cash down capcom's way to keep monster hunter on their platforms... things would have been way different i think.. 

Crappy battery life? Compared to what? It has a much better battery life than my 3DS XL and my Switch.

It's just as portable/pocketable as my heavier 3DS XL.

Vita is easily my personal favorite portable. I've said as much before. Just started Toukiden: Age Of Demons. Fucking great! Still think many people have slept on it's library, and it doesn't get enough credit for it's quality, which my be partially due to quite a few lower than deserved meta-scrores. Ugh. As for the Switch, I hope Nintendo will get on adding to it's feature set. The overall online setup is the big one though. I wish I had the energy to address some of the posts in this thread, but it's probably best to just leave it alone. The entire online aspect of it is absolutely the most horrendous, awful, and comprehensive series of regressions I've ever seen from a company. I'm not even going to outline what's wrong, but if you think it's acceptable, more power to you. I can see how not having access ones old digital library could be an issue too. It's one I wouldn't worry about, but it's a bit slimy. The other missing features aren't really a big deal, but it surely would only be a positive to have them on board. Switch looks great otherwise. The games, tech, and overall value proposition are quite lovely.

Im just saying it will take a longer time for Nintendo to implement those than the Vita. 

Maybe its also fairer to compare it to the PS4 than the Vita. Because Nintendo is treating the Switch as a home console rather than as a handheld. 

It's not always about what YOU want. There was a fake Switch version 5.0 update that had a ton of features and people were super happy and excited. It had features that PEOPLE WANTED. The Vita has those features. This isn't a "buy a Vita" thread. This is a thread asking why the Switch doesn't have features that an older failure of a system offers.
