It's essentially a radio, so it can probably broadcast to many but receiving it will need an individual chip. With pads, I'd assume a tx/rx each.

Don't feel bad for them. They're a company trying to make profit. If it fails, it's on them for not supporting and marketing their product sufficiently (and making bad decisions to cripple it).
And I only just realised that the **** hits the fan just next Friday. While some people will be unboxing their shiny new consoles, I'll be brushing the dust off the old WiiU for Zelda. Others may look down on it, but at least I know that it was a good console (compared to the competition, I don't even have an XB1 and I have more WiiU games than PS4 games). It was let down by bad marketing and support. The same sort of thing that could cause the Switch to fail if it happens again.
Then don't buy it, not everything is designed for you personally.
My daughter is on YouTube Kids a lot, there is no way I'm trusting my 3 year old with my Switch, I have an older tablet she uses.
The media stuff will come as will a browser. I'd rather they release now than us having to wait longer whilst they create a load of apps that I have no need for.
I've seen quite a few switch ads now across a number of channels and I don't really watch live TV any more. Back when the wii u came out I saw one and I used to have the TV on constantly. Maybe they've learnt from that mistake?
I'm away next weekend so won't get my switch until Monday (unless it comes early). Gonna be tough!

I don't want another jack of all trades device. Already got several of those. I want something which plays games. I also want to play Nintendo games.
People expecting anything else will only end up disappointed
You're right. I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed that the Switch has fallen short of its potential and become just another device for the Nintendo faithful to fawn over.
I like Nintendo games. The truth is, I don't like them enough to spend £280 on the console. It needs some degree of added value to make sense for me. If it had proper third party support it could replace my PS4; I don't use it much now anyway. If it had a basic selection of apps, it could replace my tablet (again, not used much, unless I'm travelling). The lack of either makes it a big expense for a machine that won't get much use. With the high price of games, I'd be unlikely to buy more than a couple a year.
I guess I'm realising that while the concept appeals to me, the reality doesn't.
I have a ps4 which collects dust and i never use it for netflix and youtube or the web.
I have a xbox one again collects dust exact same as ps4.
I play with them an hr or two for games and games only, i have a pc that i use for the web etc etc, plus i have two tablets. People are just being red eye, they dont want or need it. Infact if you do get the switch they can web browse on the ps4 or xbox while playing on the switch.

I'm more than confident that we'll get basic tablet apps like YouTube and a Web browser.
Realistically I have a mobile on me all the time with these apps on it and I barely use them other than the Web browser. I have never used these apps/browsers on my consoles and when Xbox tried to be the all in one entertainment box it flopped hard versus the competition.
I want the Switch to primarily play full games on the go as I'm a gamer, not necessarily just Nintendo games either as I skipped on the re-release of Skyrim but I'd be more inclined to pick it up again to be able to play it 'on the go'.

I use my tablet mostly to surf, read and play sudoku. Netflix and Amazon video I watch through my Xbox on my TV. I want the Switch so I can play Nintendo games either on my TV or on the go. The app stuff isn't really important to me.
Who are you to say what people want or need?
People arent happy its missing basic media functionality...simple as that.
Yes because im the only one dissapointed with the lack of any media functionality.
Id rather they used a 300 pound tablet then an ipad tbh
It's not for you, I personally think Nintendo have given this a really good shot. I think it will sell very well.
I had the same issue with my Neon Switch.
Complained to Amazon they claimed it was a technical problem, but extended my Prime by a month.
Had to cancel and re-order too.
Its on schedule again now.
Who am i you ask? Are you really gonna use a switch outdoors just to browse online or watch a movie? When you have a smartphone or a tablet that just does that?
They might even add that feature in at a later date. But right now nintendo wants you to play the switch the way it was suppose to.
Very nice. 6 days to go baby!
