Nintendo's consoles usually don't have that big of a user base as it is. It also will have less games than the PS4 and XBO. So why pay for a subscription service for a game when all your friends are playing it on PS4 with PSN? It will just make their online usebase even smaller as it is.

Also, I assume some people actively pay for Live and PS+, and it will be a third subscription.

I own a PC I don't have those PCs so it's kinda moot for me personally.

I am very particular about biscuits, I'll have you know.
32GB of internal storage plus a SD card slot. Well that sucks if I wanted to go all digital for the lifetime of the device. The dock only has 3 usb ports and I think at least are 2.0 so if we can add an external drive it's going to look like a mess if the usb port in the back of the dock is used for an ethernet adapter. I'm old and like running wired networks.

Hey I guess someone's gotta prop up the SD card market since now they're pretty rare to find in phones.

What do phones use for storage now, then? Or do you mean how phone manufacturers are doing that lovely thing where they have internal storage only?

The controls in Skyward Sword are 100% reliable and accurate. I had ZERO problems with it what so ever.

Far superior to button controls and it is sad Nintendo abandoned it.

The Parental Controls seem really snazzy. Controllable through an app, bedtime alarms, reports back to the parent if they go over their time allotment (or gives you the option to have the system cut them off once the limit is set), gives you a report on what games they play and how often and general restrictions on online chat/social media posting and not allowing games based on ESRB ratings.

I have had parents say to me that they'd always pick up a Nintendo console if they were going to get something for their kids to play because they know Nintendo games are kid-friendly. Features like this actually lend the Switch some genuine value to a pretty sizable market share, and again this should have been in the presentation.

Yeah, those parental controls actually seems like real parental controls, not just limit games based on ESRB rating.

Okay, I will say I am wrong here, the 3DS does have a bunch of great RPGs, at minimum.

I mean, I like what I have seen and will probably get it at some point, likely at launch because I am a weak, weak person. But only with the expectation that it will be only for Nintendo games. Everything else is a pleasant surprise.
