> Nintendo even achieved to keep this mindset with the Switch: It will update in the background so usually you just turn it on and play.

I don't agree. I play my switch maybe once every couple of weeks, and almost without fail there's a system or game update that it asks me to install.

Granted, _most_ updates can be put off for a while by hitting "update later", but I see very little difference between the consoles (and PCs) in terms of update behaviour these days, for better or worse.

Sleep mode. And consoles are way better at respecting your choice not to update both in regards to games and the OS. I can put the Switch to sleep and leave the game there for a week or a month and then come back exactly where I was.

With Wii U games rarely received patches, everything was on the disc and ran off it too.

That is happening for me only with games I didn't use recently.

However, we used play Fortnite quite often on both the Switch and the PS4. On the Switch it was ready immediately in most cases. If not, the update loaded and was installed rather quickly. Compare that to the PS4: It's updated in about 50% of the cases. If not, downloading takes very long and then it is applying the update so slow, that we usually just give up.
