Then you don't understand the Japanese gaming market. Becuase this is 100% designed for them and makes complete sense for their culture.

Yeah, I guess I don't. I just feel that you already have consoles at home and then you have a mobile or a tablet for when you're out.

Yes. 3 hours on portable. They are trying to increase it to 5 before launch but it is pretty much set in stone at this point.

I guess my issue is that it's kind of the way it has to be? Like, the video game market is weird as hell compared to other types of software. Market pressure forces the whole system to behave like a physical goods market, as consumers have consistently rejected attempts at soft DRM such as online passes and other things designed to prevent developers from unfairly giving support to people who didn't contribute to their revenue stream because they bought the game second-hand, or pirated it. DLC is another way to recoup that cost- buying the game second hand means that you don't have access to the DLC that the original owner may have purchased, so you have to buy it yourself. The publisher/studio still gets money that way.

A lot of the dumb poo poo we see in the games market is the result of the existence of a second-hand market for a product that, especially in an online world, requires ongoing support from the "manufacturer".

Did they mention anything about gyro or motion controls? Don't games like the new Zelda and Splatoon rely on those pretty heavily?
There's an image floating about of a bunch of screenshots from the reveal trailer with labels and one of them reads 'motion controls' and points at the reclining man holding the detached controller thingies. No idea if it's official or just something someone made up tho.

Fwiw, given that both the 3DS and WiiU had gyro controls I would be really surprised if the switch lacked them. There's also no loving way they wouldn't have built an Amiibo sensor into this thing. The touchscreen could go either way, it's a core feature of Nintendo handhelds but unless there's a way to play on the TV with the slate undocked games wouldn't be able to support it in TV mode which is awkward.

Sure, but he was explaining why a class action lawsuit isn't viable, not anything about liking it or disliking it

I'd argue it's more about whether or not you're getting value for what you're paying for not whether or not data is physically on a disc you possess before you pay for it but that's just me

Well, BOTW is unlike Skyrim because there are no towns, but very similar because there are probably bastard chickens.
