Wel, now that the title's been changed to something less inflammatory, let's discuss:
OS
Aside from being as barebones as it gets; Miiverse, StreetPass, the Internet Browser and Activity Log are now gone. There's no built-in achievement system or party chat which have become industry standards, nor is there apps of any kind such as Netflix, YouTube, and Spotify. Nintendo publicly stated friend codes were going to be eliminated but that's not the case, they have made a return with even the most basic of messaging features being nonexistent. Save data can't be transferred in any way, shape, or form. External media such as audio, video, and images can't be accessed.
A good chunk of these issues can be chalked up to the fact that the Switch just launched. That's not to excuse the lack of these features, but not having things like this immediately is usually the risk you take by being an early adopter. A lot of these things can be added later, and they probably will if Nintendo sees that the majority want them. I can't speak to Miiverse, Streetpass, achievements, and friend codes, mostly because I'm not that social and thus don't see a real need for any of them. That's my opinion though, and I freely admit that there is an audience for such things.
Accessories
You can debate worth but there's no denying the fact that the accessories are expensive. The feeling is amplified due to competitor items being priced much lower. Everything feels like an additional fee, from Nintendo not including a charging grip or mic with the Switch, the inevitable Joy-Con with a d-pad, needing the HORI Compact Playstand to charge and play your Switch in tabletop mode, a screen protector so your screen doesn't scratch while docked, to being forced to buy a microSDXC card sooner rather than later due to the paltry 25GB of available storage.
I'm not going to argue with you too much here, I do find the total Switch experience to be overpriced. I will say that I've felt that way about every launch console. As for being competitive with PS4 and XB1 in terms of price, remember that both of these systems have been out for a while, and thus are now at a point where they can be sold cheaper. Granted, Nintendo brought this on themselves by releasing Switch mid/late-gen, but you simply can't expect a new console to compete with older systems in price. Scorpio will have the same issues, I hope nobody's expecting it to match the PS4, XB1, or even the Switch in price. As far as storage goes, the discussion has already been had numerous times. If you care about digital games enough to care about low storage, then you should already know that you will eventually have to pay for more storage,
no exceptions. There is no excuse for excessive complaining about having to pay for more storage in 2017.
Games
Most seem to be either overpriced, compromised in the form of graphical fidelity and performance in comparison to competitors, or just simply a port of an indie title. The few games that don't fall into this group such as Sonic Mania and Puyo Puyo Tetris are typically handicapped by something such as the the lack of a d-pad. Triple A third-party support is nowhere to be found. The Virtual Console could have helped fill a void but it hasn't been announced as to when it will be available.
Again, if you came into this launch expecting different, that's your fault. Third-party AAA games were never going to be there, you weren't going to be blown away technically, and again - launch consoles always lack features...like the Virtual Console. As far as overpriced games go, only 1-2 Switch is 100% Nintendo's fault. And while I can understand Nintendo loyalists moaning about the lack of a d-pad, I don't quite get anyone else complaining about it, given that neither Sony nor Microsoft have consistently used a true d-pad, ever. But again, this is something that we already knew had to be done for the Switch multiplayer concept to work.
Connectivity
You must use a smartphone app to play and communicate with friends. Bluetooth audio devices are not supported.
Again, I'm not a social gamer, so I can't speak to this.
Online
The online service now costs money with no real value proposition.
Right now it's free, and it'll be free for a while as they (hopefully) add value. Expecting Nintendo paid online to be completely on par with PS4/XB1 from the start is misguided at best, delusional at worst. These are the kinds of questions Nintendo will always have to face when trying to adopt "industry standards", no matter how powerful the console itself is. It's a big reason why the idea that Nintendo could just snap their fingers and create a media machine completely on par with Sony/Microsoft from scratch, and succeed, is a fantasy.
Gimmick
It's touted that the Switch comes with two controllers out of the box. Now that I and many of you have experienced it firsthand, there's no way it's more than a novelty. It's just not very comfortable nor is it practical for most games and it's even more frustrating that this was the reason Nintendo removed the d-pad. No one will ever be able to comfortably play a title like Splatoon 2 or Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers with a single Joy-Con. HD Rumble will go down as this generations power of the cloud; it's cool but forgettable.
This is more of a personal issue than a problem with the console itself. For example, I owned, and loved, a Game Boy Micro, despite having average/large (I guess?) hands, thus I don't expect to have much of a problem with the Switch controllers. It also shouldn't be an issue for children. What's comfortable (or not) for you might not be comfortable (or not) for somebody else.
Hardware Issues
The left Joy-Con is having widespread problems causing it to de-sync at random. Nintendo included a dock that scratches your screen after extended use, they also claim if you have a dead pixel on your Switch, it's not a defect. Wi-Fi has limited range with some being unable to connect to the internet. The kickstand is cheap and flimsy which can cause the Switch to fall over.
Again, these are usually the kind of issues you have with launch hardware, especially the Joy-Con issue. Remember the "Red Ring of Death?" The kickstand is a bit of a non-issue. for the screen, I had a hunch that while everyone was trashing the bezel, it was obviously put there to keep the
actual screen safe from all the docking/undocking, and look at where we are now. Still think the bezel was a bad idea?
I want to love the Switch and tell everyone how great it is. It's a solid piece of hardware and I'm sure the game lineup in terms of first party content will turn out great, over time. But I do feel like Nintendo is a company run by stubborn old men who are out of touch with reality that take advantage of their loyal fan base.
While yes, Nintendo is a bit out of touch, it goes both ways. There's also a very large number of gamers who are out of touch as well. They simply can't understand why something that doesn't primarily appeal to them or their perception of what gaming is should exist (see: mobile gaming, the perception of 2D vs 3D gaming in the 90s, etc.), and they are quick to condemn it, and condemn it loudly. There's much more to games and consoles than just graphics and features, just like there's more to movies than summer blockbusters, or more to comic books/graphic novels than superheroes.
Since Nintendo doesn't do what the rest of the industry does (they never really did, it's just that when they were the market leader, it didn't show as much), they get a lot of intense (though not totally undue) criticism on a daily basis that Sony and Microsoft simply don't get. Really, the fact that some people actually think that Nintendo, a pure gaming company, can go toe-to-toe with two multimedia giants
on their turf and terms, is...shocking, to say the least. Yes, the Switch has issues that make it a poor primary console for gamers. But Nintendo knows that, which is why they've mainly gone for the "secondary console" approach. And no, "secondary" doesn't automatically mean "should be cheap," the electronics industry (and the consumer market as a whole) is filled with wildly expensive accessories that aren't necessary enough, and don't do enough, to justify their price.
You can call me crazy, but I find it hard to believe that one can own a PS4 & XB1, a PS4 & PC, or a XB1 & PC, yet somehow a Nintendo system is "too expensive" to serve as a secondary system. Consoles are a luxury, an expensive luxury at that. Owning multiple is always going to be pricey, we all know this. But, that's a gamer issue. For everyone else, hopefully Nintendo will do what they can to add enough extra value/features to satisfy those who only want a game console to play Nintendo games. The "soft launch" thing gets trashed, but at least it gives Nintendo time to iron out the kinks before the holidays, when all these concerns actually matter.
Tl;dr - The Switch has issues, but most are typical launch issues. Other issues are inherent to the system itself and can't easily be changedm It's way too early to declare the system dead or successful because of its issues, nor declare the hardware and concept itself DOA and pointless. If you bought it, cool. If you didn't, cool. If you like it, cool. If you didn't, cool. We'll see how it all shakes out in the future.
