You're afraid to take out your switch? I am assuming you don't own a $300 phone either.
Unless you're in a shady neighbourhood at weird hours of the night waiting for the train no one care about your switch.
I see a few people using them on the subway but surprisingly handhelds never seemed super popular on the train because I dont even see many people on the cheaper Nintendo DS's either.
I see lots of people gaming on their phones though.

Yeah it's a little weird but I just don't feel good about taking it outside yet... maybe that will change.
As for the second part of your comment, it's simple. Playing handheld video games in public is not typical or socially normal in the US... unless it's on your phone.
Why does it matter whether or not it's typical or socially normal? Are people going to beat you if you stand out as a minor nerd?
