5-8 hours for battery life for Switch would be AMAZING
I have a standard sized New 3DS and my playtime battery is closer to 3-4 hours, depending on the game. It also lasts about 48 hours max in sleep mode, assuming I don't use it during that time. What that means is that if I fully charge it and leave it on in sleep all day I get about 90 minutes playtime battery in practice when I play that night.
What 3DS is 5-8 hours? I am lucky to get three with my New 3DS XL.
Yeah, it's definitely closer to 3 for me.
They always exaggerate this crap.
