This is your first generation of gaming isn't it?
The worst console forget up I've witnessed Prior to nintendo's Switch was a toss up between the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.
The Xbox had many launch issues
and the PS3 had many hardware handicaps that lasted the entire generation.
The Xbox's famous RROD and less famouse disc scratching were forgeted up
and the Playstation 3's Cell Processor debacle and asinine pricing were also pretty stuff.
and while yes
Console launches in general are rarely smooth whether it be on the hardware or software side.
Look how much nintendo forgeted up.
Nintendo Switch Flaws:
Certain Games can't be read on random consoles
The Screen tends to glitch out
Ear Raping glitchouts
"It's a Feature" is their response to dead pixels
Obvious design flaws were over looked like the "scratching" from the dock and the wrist straps getting stuck if you put them on the wrong way
3 Hour Battery average (this puts the 3DS to shame)
Not that much of a gap in performance between Wii U and the Switch
only 9 Release games, NINE. (again the 3DS put this to shame.)
all I can hope is since these seem to be similar flaws to the 3ds is that Nintendo manages to pull a sony and loving 180's this stuff hard.
