Like I said before, some people just down right angry for Switch selling so well for some weird reason. I guess they expected/wanted Switch to flop and they currently pissed because it didn't.
What can you do?
Maybe it's down to people having an idea of what "real" gaming is and feeling like the Switch goes against that?
"There are no games". Obviously this is nonsense. Switch has a ton of awesome games buuuuut many of them are indie games that are available elsewhere or ports of old games. So maybe they mean "no exclusive games". This is also nonsense since there are a ton of good Nintendo exclusives. These are very often not MY cup of tea but they still exist.
"Only kiddy games". Again, complete tripe. Over this lockdown I've been playing through Blasphemous, Valfaris and Blazing Chrome while also revisiting Dark Souls, Diablo 3, The Witcher 3 and Dead Cells. These are the "kiddy games" people are on about? Nintendo offers kid friendly games. I don't think anyone had denied that? Are those the only games on the system?
You can realistically only make these arguments if you think "indies and ports don't count" and your idea of gaming is ONLY playing a photorealistic experience on the best hardware and the game must have violence and other adult themes.
One of our local cinemas, when they were still open before coivd-19, always had events where they'd show old movies and they'd always be running indie movies that wouldn't get much publicity at the bigger franchise theaters. They seem to do really well because a lot of people really love that nostalgia factor or finding a hidden indie gem away from the deluge of blockbusters. They only have 4 smaller screens and there's no IMAX or anything like that. Yet, I have never once heard people moaning that they only show old movies or that they only sell tickets based on nostalgia. Or that the screens are not IMAX and they don't do 3D etc. Never.
Only in the gaming community could a publisher/manufacturer offer a nostalgic experience bolstered by indie gems and some bigger games from the past, with a "handheld" twist, and people moan because it doesn't line up with their EXACT idea of what gaming should be.
I get that people think anything and everything should be open to criticism but some criticisms are honestly a bit shite.
"It's too expensive" isn't a valid criticism since it is entirely subjective people will pay if they think it's worth it.
"There's no games" is flat out wrong.
"There's only ports and indies" is at least semi-factual but then I would just ask "so what?" Maybe I want to play some of those games? Maybe I'd enjoy playing them in a portable format?
Look at the current nonsense between Sony and Microsoft that is basically ruining the forum at the moment.
It's all about arguing over who has the most power. As if this is the ONLY aspect of gaming that really matters.
OMG your console has 7000 graphics but the power level of MY console is over 9000!
There's a very strange insecurity there.
If I love Halo and Gears then I am going to want an XBox.
Does it really matter if PS is more powerful when I am playing the games I specifically want to play?
Or when I am finally playing Spider-Man 2 on my PS5 do I get a smug feeling because my console is running with more power than crummy Microsoft?
It is beyond stupid.
It made no sense in the SNES vs Genesis years and it makes even less sense now.
For sure the next gen will have amazing games. Just like every generation before it.
I mean, if you like videogames then for sure you are going to like more videogames.
It's just daft to have a very narrow and single minded concept of what gaming is supposed to be.
More options is good and a console that offers a lot of flexibility in the format, the games available and the ways you can play those games (couch co-op etc) is a pretty good option.
