    If a device has a single purpose, which is playing games, and it can’t play such game, how it’s not a brick?

    “It’s not a brick, it’s just a paperweight!”

      Some games might not be playable. But other games still are. Calling the system a paperweight is not accurate.

        Your comment, paraphrased:

        Nintendo is Nintendo and they can never be wrong, I will defend them and ask for proof. Then deny any proof given.

        You asked proof of a brick, I showed you proof of a brick.

        Ah yes, sorry, it’s not a brick. Because it turns on and, because it doesn’t even show the icon of those legitimately purchased games that are unwrapped in front of the camera, you can go to settings, then you can, uh, toggle between dark mode and light mode. Yes, totally not a brick. People pay $450 for a game console not for playing games, just to stare at the empty screen.

        it's from switch 1 but it renders the idea

          Don’t put words in my mouth. If you can’t engage in good faith, there’s no further discussion to be had.
