Nintendo Switch Could "Redefine" Gaming, Ubisoft Says

@Thanatos2k:

"you "don't care" with a wall of text" I never said I didn't care, I simply wanted to stop.

"I could only assume you pulled it out of thin air, which you did" No, I did not. I have played hundreds of games on the DS (which I still occasionally use) and very few of them I thought was very good and used the touch screen in a special way. A lot of the time with touch screens, the devs just shoehorns in clunky mechanics that breaks the immersion and fun of the game. And even then, touch screens could get easily damaged from being pressed too much and too hard and the stylus could easily fall out from being pulled in and out too many times.

"But the dock does nothing but connect it to a TV" We don't know that yet. What about their patents then?

"Plane flights, car rides" I rarely go on plane flights and car rides for longer than 3 hours, and even then I don't play games for 3 hours straight. Get real, if you played for 3 hours straight on a car you would get nauseous.

"And you don't have to choose on a PC far cheaper than that." This is only true if you live where taxes on PC parts are low and the parts are sold at MSRP and you already have a monitor. Where I live, it costs $1500 for a 1080p good gaming rig if you buy the parts from a store, peripherals not included. Besides, $1300 is probably the minimum for 60fps 4K gaming, and that is not including the price of a 4K monitor.

"Are you suggesting other regions are inexplicably different?" Yes, they are. See my above charts.

"Sounds like you don't always have to choose" I didn't know you could hear text.

@n0on3: Ah there it is, showing how much you "don't care" with a wall of text.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

I was making things up, like you did when you claimed only "dozens" out of "thousands" of games used the touchscreen on the 3DS/DS as a core part of the game. It was a hilariously unsourced untrue statement, so I could only assume you pulled it out of thin air, which you did.

"with only 4400 out of several hundred million people who plays games participating. That is a sample size way too small and is only focused on the US."

4400 is plenty large enough of a sample size to get definitive results. Take a statistics class when you get to college. What does it only being from the US have to do with anything. Are you suggesting other regions are inexplicably different? And even if they were, your statement was still wrong for the US.

"The switch is a handheld, and the switch+dock is the console."

But the dock does nothing but connect it to a TV. My Vita can connect to a TV, but it isn't a console. So where's the console?

"Of course you have to choose. Unless you have a $1300 PC, you will always have to choose."

Sounds like you don't always have to choose. And you don't have to choose on a PC far cheaper than that.

"The switch is not aimed at casuals"

Of course it is.

"most people will play for less than or around 21 hours a week"

That tells nothing about the size of the chunks of time they play. Since you love making points by "what feels right" moments, I can come up with all sorts of scenarios as to why a 3 hour charge time is unacceptable. Plane flights, car rides.....
