Me too. My biggest gripe with mobile gaming (phone/tablet) is limited controls. This will appeal to those who want decent mobile gaming, that isn't a laptop, that can easily be connected to the TV.
Thanks, didn't know they had gotten rocket league. Thing is though, paying for online is one of my items when I sum up gaming costs PC vs. console for me and mobile vs. console for my daughters. Another damn monthly automatic drain from the accounts. And I have a reasonable economy, so if I am turned off by monthly fees for online play, I can't imagine that the distaste isn't quite wide spread. So, yes, it is obviously a source of income for Sony and MS, but it equally obviously is something that costs them customers. Who knows how it really balances out? Nobody does. For me, it is another strike against consoles as gaming platforms, which, in conjunction with the inflated game prices (and limited utility), make them unappealing compared to PCs and mobile. As I said above, some of the criticism levelled against the Switch is valid for PS4 and XBO as well, when you compare vs. PC and mobile, as opposed to just between consoles.
How do you propose that he be able to talk to his friends in the car without a cellular device? Wasn't that a given?
Why monthly drain? I spent £35 for thereabouts for a year's PS+. £35 as a single cost is certainly affordable and something you can even set as a Christmas or birthday type present. The PSN experience is reasonable for the money IMO, although a bit flaky. Across the chat options (cross title party chat) and added games, I think the value is just about there, and I'd rather pay £35 a year for a decent service than nothing a year for a crappy one that's not invested in.

It works. XBLG is the only thing keeping Xbox division in the black I think. There's a reason why they only report on subscription numbers, it's their largest form of revenue. Probably among one of the most successful subscriptions they have.
What a joke. The main system pricing and these accessories pricing are ridiculous. They think they're Apple and can charge whatever they want. Just like Apple fans, people will pay the prices but they don't have nearly as many dumb loyalists.
Yes, with that comparison it is a big ripoff. However, free online services isn't good business. Just as I say Switch online needs to be free to get people using it, PS3 online needed to be free to get people to use it, otherwise multiplayer games would have been empty. After a generation of using it, PS user learnt the value of it and decided whether it was worth $50 a year to them or not.
Wouldn't this be better on Xbox and PS though? Would look a lot prettier and have a decent, stable framerate...
