The Problem With The Nintendo Switch

Welcome back everyone, I’m sure everyone knows this by now but the Nintendo Switch actually got a crazy big update, we now actually have Bluetooth support, essentially giving us the ability to connect Bluetooth headphones (including AirPods) to our Nintendo Switch! However, it presented another slight issue with Nintendo, and I don’t know why they do this, it seems like when they have such a huge success on their hands, you would think that they would just give us all the capability at once, but in this case, they didn’t.

What do I mean by this? Let me ask this, why was this capability even turned off at the beginning? it really makes no sense and I say the same exact thing with Sony/Microsoft with their consoles, why do they disable the ability to connect Bluetooth headphones to that console? Here’s the thing, it’s not like Bluetooth is some new technology where you have to go and reprogram everything, this technology has been around for a very long time, so why did they give us the capability now to do this?
