Many took umbrage with the fact there were no video streaming apps available on the Nintendo Switch at launch. Speaking with The Washington Post, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has stated that Nintendo wanted Switch owners to focus on the games, rather than binge-watching Crazy Ex Girlfriend.
While Fils-Aime, in the interview, states that things like Netflix aren’t what differentiates Nintendo from their competitors, it seems strange to launch a console in 2017 without any of these apps from the get-go. But they did beat Wii U’s launch sales numbers, so hey, maybe Reggie’s onto something.
