I'm pretty certain that is for easier access to the screen, not that I agree with only having 1/2 a controller.why not two snapons for actual buttons
You call it crazy, but who has more industry experience and makes better corporate decisions?
Look how the switch is selling. End of story.
I just found out that there's this thingy for the iPhone called Gamevice. Oh well!not from Crapple.
2017 flagship phones and onward have more power than the switch, that's no brainer... Comparing a 300 dollars console to a 600 and up phone is not a nice one..
About what games you can play on an android flagship phone?
Well
1)Retroarch with all the cores, that can even play WII games..
2)PPSSP at full speed (PSP)
3)Drastic at full speed (DS)
4)Citra (still wip)
5)Fortnite
6)PUBG
7)Mortal Kombat x Android (addicting game)
8)Bully - Rockstar
9) GTA 3d saga (3, VC, SA)
10)Liberty city stories
11)Chinatown wars
12)Max Payne
and the list goes on and on. The only thing that the Switch has against an Android flagship are the exclusive titles. Which are not much... i think that Google play has even more exclusives than the Switch...
By the way, playing any game, you can get up to 3 to 4 hours.... phone don't have anymore small batteries...
Newsflash: phones do have small batteries. What they've been improving is software efficiency.By the way, playing any game, you can get up to 3 to 4 hours.... phone don't have anymore small batteries...
I already have a flagship phone that can run those things and i also have a switch. So no, i'm not anti switch(300 euros, mediamkart). Nintendo had a good idea and the switch is priced according to the hardware it has.Do I detect anti Switch sentiment? Not surprised. Get an Android phone then.

But if you're playing a mobile game for 3 hours straight, with the max brightness and audio, then you're gonna have a bad time.
The Switch's battery is as big as half the console for a reason. We're far behind on battery technology.
ITT: Comparing phone gaming to a dedicated gaming system. Oof.
Comparing a phone to a dedicated console in 2018 is a pretty fair comparasion.... It seems you are stuck in 2011....Yeah, call me crazy, but I like to use my phone to actually communicate with people and not play games with crappy touchscreen controls and HUDs that take up 90% of the screen. Kinda kills any motivation to play emulators, etc. Then you have to buy a decent Bluetooth controller, then a stand. It's a pain.
I didn't say it was small, I said it's not "better". The majority of improvements about battery life for any device come from software efficiency. Have you ever wondered why laptops and phones are slowly increasing in battery life but not handheld consoles? This is why.So you think that 4000 mah for a phone is small??? Ok... oh yes the battery of the switch is much bigger lol 4300 mah... so much bigger.

Too bad that a phone doesn't use 100% of the CPU when the screen is awake. Try playing any intensive mobile game for more than 3 hours.But it is better, because with my 4000 mah i can get about 5 hours of SoT (Screen on Time) BT, Wifi always on and apps like google fit always using the gps....
While with the switch i can hardly get 4.5 hours with a bigger battery... So yes, my phone is doing a much better job at battery use than my switch.

Mi phone with an ipega 9025 next to my n2dsxl... It's more convinient for my, to take my ipega 9025 than to take the n2dsxl. The switch never leaves the dock..
Guess which one has a better resolution, a more powerful soc and better battery life....

Because i do enjoy my switch too, the same way i enjoy my rpi3b with lakka, the same way that i enjoy my n2dsxl, or my og PSP.....Then why in the hell do you even bother having a Switch? Sounds to me that it's of little to no use to you since you clearly have a superior phone that you use for gaming. You should sell your Switch to someone who actually enjoys it.

People get so defensive about a piece hardware.. when most of the hardware can co exist without problems.
