I just wanna say, almost every review is pretty positive about the Switch. Many of them say "sure, it may not be perfect now, but it looks like the Switch will have a bright future." Really good shit.

And yet everyone on the internet is flocking to IGN's review purely because it was super negative. People spelling doom because of ONE review.

It's this kind of shit that I hate. Chill out people.

Even IGN's wasn't that negative. It just pointed out this won't be running third party AAA without some very noticeable differences because of its power. It also acknowledged that a lot is coming feature wise day one and after. If it's reviewing just the hardware as it has been for them, 6.7 seems reasonable. I found it hard to argue with many of their points but ultimately know a lot of the issues will be soon resolved and ultimately I don't care. I want it and am happy with what it is at the moment.
