You gave a dictionary definition. Let's hope Wal Mart, Target and other stores have that definition printed up and put on the glass where they keep the Switch Lite consoles. They may also want to define what Lite means IN THIS CASE. With the DS, Lite meant it was lighter and had a brighter backlight but no features were lost so customers might not know what 'Lite' means in this case.
You just blow off the fact that Switch is in the name because it suits you. Lite does not mean 'lacks main named feature'.
Switch form factor with joycons fused to the unit, lacks tv output, lacks a kickstand. Yet the most important feature is that it plays the Switch library of software, the whole fucking point of the system.
DS Lite was still a DS. It was smaller but a fucking DS.
Again, if a consumer is that dumb, they have bigger issues to worry about. Like the idiot lady that ignored the “Contents may be hot” warning on her mcdonalds coffee cup and got burned, or the pearl-clutching parent that purchases Grand Theft Auto 5 for her 6 year old in spite of the rating and list of contents on the game box then acting surprised that sexual themes and violence are a major component of the game.
What you’re essentially saying is that the consumer must be catered to like a baby and choices be damned for those with different tastes and that things should just be simple And the Lite shouldn’t exist. Got it. Perhaps Nintendo should hire you. That’ll solve everything.
Now, it’s been fun, but I have a sick child with a 102 degree fever now awake and screaming. Let’s hope I manage to read the medicine bottle properly and not overdose her because by your logic, a consumer shouldn’t have to be bothered with simple reading skills nor be informed and responsible.
