If Japan isn't doing it, then I am guessing Americans don't either. You barely see 3DSs outside anymore. Personally I don't bring my Switch outside because it cost a lot of money, while my 3DS was $100 used.

Kind of a weird attitude, since my phone is just as expensive if not more, but it feels unsafe to take the Switch out for my commute.

Yeah. In Japan its not a safety issue, so I am not sure why they dont carry it around. Maybe because they already have a smartphone anyway and dont want to carry tons of devices around?

Anyway this kind of defeats the purpose of having a portable console format for the Switch if it is not used in this way.
