While we are at it, what are your thoughts on:

1) Nintendo waited 4 years after launch to release a OLED version at a premium price when the technology/capabilities existed in 2011.

2) Expansion pass cost $49.99

3) All of the updated Switch models/versions thus far only applies to people who play mobile, but there has yet to be any specific enchantments or upgrades for those who play docked

Is there any game that has minority protagonist that are not forced? Or is it in your mind that all games with minority protagonist were forced?

And eventually the gap will get smaller. Just imagine how much more can be made if they release a new title on PC 3-6 months after the release of the PlayStation version. Win-Win for Sony and PC gamers.

I know what your original argument was. The point that Agent was trying to make was that the Switch is just taking features from the past and not really innovating anything. Being able to play on the go and then immediately on a TV was already done by past hardware.

I then jumped onto that notion to highlight how the new OLED is a other example of how Nintendo takes past concepts from the Vita. I also took that opportunity to highlight how such features should have been pa...

Speak facts and they downvote you.

I wonder what is their justification for the $49.99 expansion pass price tag.

@Neonridr,

What I said in the 2nd paragraph is relevant to the larger discussion around the anti-consumer policies of Nintendo.

Whether they both play games is irrelevant. The point is that if the technology existed in 2011, why wasnt it implemented in 2017? Some would argue that Nintendo could or should have launched the Switch in 2017 with OLED but decided to hold off and launch it later at a more expensive price.

Eventually Nintendo...

I mean is he wrong though? The ability to easily play a portable game on your TV was already done before. It is just that Nintendo was more successful with it.

Same with the OLED screen. The Vita LAUNCHED with a OLED screen in 2011. This begs the question as to why the Switch wasn't able to launch with it in 2017 and had to wait til 2021 to launch it at a much expensive price.

Its less about choice/opinion and more about Nintendo's anti consumer actions. In 2011 the Vita released with an OLED screen. So why couldn't the 2017 Switch model have it?

Things change once the direct deposit hits your account.

Remember, the GameCube was Nintendo's last core gaming console that wasnt centered around gimmicks like the Wii.

Handheld has always been Nintendo's saving grace since the Gameboy so it is more comfortable for Nintendo to focus on handheld stuff and ignore console specific stuff.

So that still does not defend Nintendo from not having the OLED as part of the original 2017 model.

If hardware in 2011 was able to do it, why couldnt 2017 hardware?

They were trying to jump onto the hero shooter trend.

Not more successful than the PS2.
