The Switch 2 is very interesting because it's the only modern tech device without any media playback functionality. Switch 2 is literally just a gaming platform, YouTube isn't even available here and I remember this is a philosophy Nintendo had since the Switch 1. I remember Reggie saying that Nintendo starting with the Switch generation doesn't care for streaming and prefer to focus on gaming and rather would let Google and Netflix themselves do the work. This is weird because it's literally the complete opposite of what Nintendo was doing with the Wii and Especially the WiiU, Nintendo was doing an Xbox one by making the WiiU an all entertainment box for streaming, for crying out loud the WiiU gamepad literally has a dedicated TV button.
i'd prefer my games console to be a games console and not a multimedia machine.
They probably realize most people would rather use their phone or a tablet to watch on instead of a handheld game device with a panel meant more for playing gamesEven when connected to a tv, normies all have smart tvs or streaming devices, so no point in booting up the switch for itIt's just creating another device they have to maintain an app for generation after generation
>>737553324switch 1 had several dedicated streaming apps. Why are nintendo fanboys so oblivious to their own software? Pretentious faggots.
>>737553465They realize browsers are an entry point for hackers, that's all they realize
>>737553324Because they're scared of piracy. The PlayStation 4 removed the option to download or edit save states because you could hack the PS3 through save states
>>737553541Did you forget that YouTube came to switch 1 literally a whole year after launch? Switch lost twitch, and Netflix was supposed to come out but never did. Nintendo doesn't care for streaming apps.
>>737553541Switch 1 had YouTube but Switch 2 does not. Migrating the old app to the Switch 2 doesn't work either, it just doesn't open. To be honest, it's pretty frustrating, I can't play Cooking Mama ost while I'm baking anymore. Either way, you failed the knowledge check.
Nintendo knows its not competing with Sony or Xbox, but with all kind of entertainment, including Netflix, Youtube and shitposting on /v.
>>737553324Its probably more to due with all the force ID's and forced age requirements and Nintendo just throwing in the rag and saying "fuck it, we don't need it" and dropping support. It be easier to just drop support than to deal with all bullshit tied to these new age requirements.
>>737553454Why? A computer should be able to do whatever you want on it.
>>737554350>>737554745For some reason, it just keeps happening.
