i can understand some will say launch consoles come with issues.... that is correct all of them are prone to some sort of issue.
but alot of these issues are due to poor design and manufacturing, things like the left and right joy cons getting stuck if the clip is put on the wrong way, alot of people have accidently put them on the wrong way and its stuck.
its not clear enough on the device which is the correct way.... as one user stated this console is also going to be used by kids, so seeing adults make the mistake you are more likley an child will make the same mistake.
this should have been either marked more clearer which way is correct or design it so it can only be connected the right way.
the desing of the joy cons is poor, they are wobbly and dont feet like its connected properly.
the docking station is a mystery to me.... how nintendo never thought that sliding a screen into a rather firm solid plastic dock will cause scratches to the screen..... especially when they use cheap screens and not paid that little extra to use gorilla glass.
the device itself, the amount of users reporting that its not detecting the game card.... then theres the lag with the old IR sensors on the joy cons again i dont understand why Nintendo used IR when there are better options, again old tech.
the joy cons fail to sync, disconnect and have poor input if you are only feet away from the console.
the wifi is known to suck and alot of the problems nintendo have released statements or should i say excuses stating this is normal and its the user at fault.
such as:
wifi: disconnect other devices and move the device closer to the router...... sorry erm no you shouldnt have to disconnect devices in order for the switch to get a decent signal, it is not the wifi singal thats the problem, its the cheap tech you put in the console.
as for move closer to the router now i will say a good 90% of users that have internet have their router sat in their living room with the phone line, a high percentage of gamers will likely have their console in the living room.... or in their bedroom which other devices have no issue connecting to the wifi.
the docking station..... nintendo state the user should attach a piece of soft cloth so the screen isnt damaged.
as for the device making terrible sounds like that, then graphical issues, inverted screen colors.
this console seems to have far more issues than i have known, this is not good considering this is nintendo's 2nd console during the same generation that is already yet again an inferior and over priced console and sorry its sales are not as good as nintendo claim (yet comparing to the failed wii u).
i dont get why people buy everything nintendo claim.... wake up as a business they will never turn round and say darn this launch was not as we predicted, hence why like the wii u they havent released a prediction on sales, because if it falls short of this like the wii u then bad for business.
however they can go back to the last system and say its doubled sales, then that makes the company look better.
but alot of people wont take into considerations that the switch should really be compared to Nintendo last home console and handheld sales with it been both in one...... and it fails to come close.
in the UK during the same period the wii u (if the switch did double) and 3ds sold:
wii u: 40K
3ds: 113K
Total: 153K
Switch: 80K
and saying that, these figures still fall short from its competitors during the same period.
