Its big but who puts switch in their pocket when they travel? Dont most people carry a bag when they travel around with a switch? Soze maoes sense considering the specs that its carrying. Anything smaller would cause it to overheat

I've addressed all of this already. Nintendo selling carrying cases doesn't mean most people use them and more than them selling Joy Con wheels mean every people use those. Never said everyone could fit a Switch in their pocket, and in fact said differently several times. Not going to bother with strawmen.

Yeah its size is pretty big though the Switch isn't exactly super portable either. Everyone that I've seen that use one carry them in their bags so its not like people aren't used to lugging around larger devices with them.

There's so many hot takes on this forum when they see something they don't like when they haven't seen or tried in person. That its getting a bit silly. For all we know it could be the most comfortable handheld to hold and play or it could be bad - we have no idea until the NDA is up and we have it out in the wild. And some vastly underestimating the demand for a similar kind of device. Atm there are hardly any other big companies outside of Nintendo trying to enter the handheld market. And here we with a Steam device thats a fully functioning handheld PC, designed for portable gaming on the go for $399-650 US.

I put my Switch in my pocket personally. I play it mostly on the train to my school/work, so I like to be able to access it quickly and not have to fiddle with a carrying case/bag when I have to get off the train. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/6kzxlv/do_you_ever_put_your_switch_in_your_pocket/ I'm not the only one. Also just convenient to be able to slide it in a pocket just to carry it around the house. Not a necessity but good.

The Switch is really besides the point though. Portability isn't the only reason to buy a Switch, or even probably the primary reason, which would be the exclusives. So, the portability for the Switch is more of a bonus feature in a sense. For this, there are other machines that run the exact same games, often better, so aside from portability and price, its utility is questionable. Portability is kind of the whole point. It has one job. The bigger it becomes, the less purpose it has.

Maybe it's the smallest they could make it, but then maybe the product just shouldn't be made at this point. 

So everyone who is fine with the size and weight shouldn't be able to buy that device because other people may find it too big?

What an egocentric attitude!

How the fuck did you get that from my statement O_o? 

If the product is not going to appeal to an audience that is large enough to make it profitable, then a company shouldn't make it. I loved the shit out of my Wii U, but Nintendo definitely should not have made it. 

Companies should stop making laptops and ipads as well as those are bigger than the switch too! You can't fit 10 inch ipads inside of your pockets so they are pointless!

I dont get why they mixed it with controls. Should have hooked a good ol' Xbox controller and make it less bulkier/ unwiedly

It's because they are trying to ensure the best compatibility for over 10,000 games that are on steam. Many games on Steam does not use controllers as an input method so for those games, the touchpads on the sides should be able to emulate basic keyboard/mouse functions.

Yep, that is a completely logical interpretation of what I said and not a ridiculous strawman. Any product bigger than a nickel should be burned along with anyone who possesses one.
