Boondoggle of a console. The price is clearly higher than people are expecting, they're selling two consoles. The Switch could have been this lightweight console, and everyone was happy with the initial pitch, but then they went out of their way to add shit to the joycons that most users won't see. If you don't pay $50 for 12Switch, you're not using the HD rumble, the gyro, the fucking IR hand sensor that nothing will ever use.
Rather than being a cheap piece of plastic with some wires, a dock is $90. What the fuck is in it. You can buy a tablet for less than half that. You get the Switch box and it's got 7 objects I. There, not counting wires.
Maybe they could have done a bog standard Switch and then released upgraded joycons down the line. It's modular and everything!
