I saw someone playing a Switch while waiting in line for a movie. That was the first time I had seen a Switch at all, and in public. But he was definitely a big fan. Playing Zelda with a Zelda-related t-shirt.
Saw someone on NYC subway playing Switch. The Switch has made it.

Was she going to a rooftop party? Maybe it's Karen.
I've seen a few on the Rock Island Metra as well.
Riding an hour on the train can be boring when you're by yourself. Nothing wrong with having a gaming device for entertainment.

Don't you insult Abby like that lol.
That sounds like a great way to dirty my clothes.
Should've taken a discrete photo on your phone. Make sure the shutter sound and flash is disabled.
I understood that reference.
Why would you do that?

I actually play it all the time on the train. A few days after Mario Kart came out, I actually spotted another guy playing it as well.
People tend to be very interested in it, actually... There was this guy who sat next to me and his girlfriend, but ended up paying much more attention to me than his girlfriend lol.

Seen pretty much every portable everywhere...because they are portable. Couple Switches at the park in the past months or so.
I remember when the original iPod Shuffle came out with the hanging Sport Case. I was in the supermarket listening to it while I was waiting for an order and I saw this other guy walking through the store doing the same thing with the same setup and we both just gave each other a nod and thumbs up at the same time.
OP, where was your Switch?

Pretty rare I'd say. I commute from Queens all the way downtown to Wall St. and have seen a 3DS/Vita maybe a handful of times.
When I last went to Tokyo I heard someone playing Zelda BOTW on the plane.
I knew exactly who it was , it was the chunky guy with cargo shorts, big walking boots and a destiny T-Shitt. He also had shiny black died hair on a ponytail.
About 30% of the westerners in Tokyo look like this.

All of that part. I thought it was obviously a joke, because why would someone go up to a girl, high five her (?!) and then talk about weapon durability?!
I don't know why it would be different by line, but I've taken the subway thousands of times, and it's definitely not a common sight.

Jesus. I busted the Switch out in the subway for the first time twenty minutes ago and thought I had been spotted.
Edit: it's not too common anymore but I saw plennnnnty of DSes and PSPs on the subway in olden times. Still see the 3DS or DS still occasionally.

This was late 2015. My phone was an N-Gage at the time and that didn't have a camera =(

I just played Street fighter with a co-worker during a coffee break at work.
But I don't understand the necessity to make a fuss out of it.

Vita means life.
I see quite a few PSP's too.
Will get a successor announced at E3 confirmed.
Seriously, its Nintendo latest handheld. Its bound to happen. With it selling as well as it is, I would hope to see at least one out n about.
Real question is....did it make it back home with her....
The Switch clicked for me when I was travelling with friends, having nothing to do for several hours in transit in an airport, yet being able to play mario kart with them on the same system. As more major local multiplayer games come out such as smash bros or fifa, this system will become a local multiplayer beast. I was put off by Nintendo's pricing initially but the system is actually great, they're onto something here if it's properly supported.
what went wrong
Where's the pic of the guy playing xbox on the subway

Well as they say, if you can make it there, you can make it... anyway.

Hey, I had a former co worker that did this. He sat at a front desk and had his Wii U in his bookbag.
The Switch really is the successor to the Wii U.

Was wondering if someone saw me today playing NBA Playgrounds with a Joy-Con in hand. Guess not.

I don't even need to read the thread to see that this is a pathetic topic.
I mean.....how do you meet new people as an adult outside of work or a bar except over common interests? When Pokemon GO was big plenty of strangers asked me if I was playing Pokemon and we bullshitted about it, and it wasn't nearly as obvious as a big ol' Switch.
I don't see it as weird and if they actually did talk she apparently didn't either. Outside of the high five I don't find anything too strange in this story. But I'm a friendly, outgoing dude.
Some people really act as if Scorpio is the saviour lol but it's all a running joke tbh.
Unless ofcourse Microsoft finally has some compelling games to show. But still it won't outsell PS Pro or Switch.

People ask me why this thread was made, and I will just quote them this post.
Funny, I was just on the Metro North this past weekend and I really did wish I had brought my Switch for some Disgaea time. I just don't have a case for it. I think a multi hour train trip is the best portable gaming time possible.
It took me way longer than it should have to understand that the dude's shirt doesn't have Todd Howard's face on it. Twitter has ruined me.
Yea I was also gonna say depending what part of the city, town you're in, it can be rare.
When I worked one bus ride away from work, like a 10 minute drive if I drove...I carried my Vita with me.
Where I live now, I take my headphones off before I get to my stop, phone goes in pocket.
Plan on getting another Vita soon, and hopefully a Switch next year. If I'm still in the same neighborhood...they will never get taken out the house unless I'm taking it to the car.
whats the big deal? i seen the 3ds, vita, and the switch(first week all in zelda swag) on the mta lol. I myself play my 3ds during my long commute on the subway.
To me as a local new yorker and a commuter on the mta subway its seems pretty normal to me. I just expect handhelds are more common in metropolis with a mass transit system from my personal experience ¯\_(ツ

Geeeez y'all are mean! Whether or not OP was joking, he makes a good point. We can read all the stats, reports and press releases, but often it's a small, personal occurrence that really solidifies reports of success.
Anyyyyyways, as I mentioned I see people on Chicago transit occasionally play, with one fellow Switch player. I do get a lot of looks, though. I recently moved and it's much harder to play on the train than the bus.

I saw someone jacking off on the NYC subway on my way home from a bar last night. Therefore, jacking off in public has made it.
I see Switch/Vita/3DS at least once a week on the 7 train
You've obviously only seen the rare few early adopters, as I've yet to see that yet. Men embarrassing themselves to get women's attention, on the other hand, has become a major success out here on the BART in the East Bay.
I've seen tons of people playing 3DS on the NYC subway. Hell, I saw a guy playing Wario Land on a Game Boy Pocket like 3 days ago on the G train.
Also, I was playing Zelda on Switch back in March and the guy sitting next to me tapped me on the shoulder and started giving me tips on how to complete the shrine I was in (he'd played it the night before and got stuck).
