      Of course its fine to have different opinions. Its not me who brought up this whole 'enthusiast' thing anyway. I dont know what the 'azuzuz' or whatever guy meant by enthusiast. Is it pcmr enthusiast, phone enthusiast, switch or whatever.

Anyway, no, I didn't ask for controllers that can be put in pockets. I asked for your opinion if enthusiasts should put controllers in their pockets. As for the Junglecat controllers, you can't attach them directly to a phone. You have to slide them to a phone-grip case. The phone-grip cases that come with the controllers only support a few phones. In any case, the thing is, in my opinion, most enthusiasts who want to emulate games will probably emulate them on a high-end PCs or gaming handheld PCs to get the optimal gaming experience. If your opinion differs and you believe that most enthusiasts will emulate games on their phones and put controllers in their pockets, that's fine. We can have different opinions.

            Buying a console with a gamle budle, makes sense if you play that game, otherwise you buy just the console and save 10-40 bucks in most cases and up to three digits in the more limited ones. The bundles are typically only cheaper than the console + the game separately. Old stock being dumped being the exception to this rule. I.e. Fifa 17 bundles with Xbox and PS4 once that game was replaced.

            PS4 bundled with Unchartered made sense for me and not the PS4 bundled with FIFA.
            If neither game was interesting, buying only the PS4 would've been cheaper hence the choice I would've taken.

            Several of the PS4 bundles had no less than three games bundled. PS4 Pro came bundled with The last of us remastered, God of War, Horizon Zero dawn (Complete edition). The PS4 slim came in several bundles with three games in hopes to boost sales.

            Facts are that the Switch has been a massive success, so much so that Nintendo has postponed their 9th gen. console for years, because it is so massively profitable. Both from console sales and games sales. If it wasn't, we would have seen the successor a few years ago already.

            Even today the standard Switch holds it's price. Buying a switch OLED + Mario bros wonder separately is cheaper than the bunde. . .
            The only bundle where you save vs. console + game separately is the Switch + Swtich sport bundle, but it is still 35 bucks more than the switch and you really only save 10-15 bucks vs. buying separately. So who would buy the bundle if they aren't going to play the game? Financially it wouldn't make sense.

It's just my opinion that most enthusiasts will probably use high-end PCs or devices that are specifically made for gaming to emulate games to get the optimal gaming experience. As for controllers for phones, the GameSir G8 Galileo is one of the best, and it's not compact. When you use a controller to play a game on a phone, it'll be very inconvenient if you have to hold your phone with one hand and use another hand to hold a controller. Using the touch screen is better than doing that.

                              I want mainstream games to come to Nintendo.
                              Like GTA 6, RDR3, CoD Black Ops, Battlefield, NFS, FIFA etc etc.

                              That could have happened back in Q3 2016 for USD $300, if Nintendo Switch had better specs. Basically Samsung-16nm, 8x Cortex-A73, 8GB LPDDR4X, 128GB UFS 2.1, and the performance would be very close to the XB1 and PS4. And while we are at it, they could have also fixed Bluetooth, fixed Drift, Right joystick above Action Buttons, No gimmicky L4/R5 buttons, and a slightly smaller bezel.

                              And now if I had the chance for a Switch 2, I would call it the Super Switch.
                              I'd release it in 2022 after the pand emic for USD $400. It would be based on TSMC-5nm, 8x Cortex-A715, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB UFS 4.0, and an iGPU that isn't too powerful. The screen is still 60Hz, but it is now AMOLED LTPS, and is 1080p resolution. However, you can use the Super Dock, which is a separate USD $200 (or bundled for less) and it is magic. It uses Active Cooling to overclock the CPU, it Fast Charges the handheld, it disables the iGPU and enables an dGPU. Now the performance slightly exceeds the Xbox Series S. And now you have major publishers able to port their games to the platform. In two modes:
                              - Handheld: 720p, 30fps, Low Settings
                              - Docked: 1080p, 60fps, Medium Settings
                              - PS5: 2160p, 60fps, High Settings

                              Sure, with the Kangal Plan we are talking a hit on profit margins, but we are maximizing the overall and long-term goals with higher sales and revenue.

                                      Mobile is BY FAR the biggest, at over 40% of game market revenues.
                                      PC comes second at around 28% and console third with a few percentages less
