What's missing at launch is coming so it's no sweat off my back and they aren't core features but to make this as successful as it can be...those things need to be there eventually and sooner rather than later. By mid year, fall at the latest
consoles that do this are destined to hurt though:
The Gamecube - Small Disc, small lineup, no internet service like the xbox or ps2, smaller library, ended up losing the console generation
PS3 - Extremely expensive, way less launch titles for price point, network service inferior to 360, "caught up" but was still super hindered by the bad launch
XBONE - DRM (yes, this was taken away, but the perception of this hurt them big time in my opinion)
Switch - Barebones OS, very few launch titles, no online store, ?

Two things killed the Gamecube more than anything else I think. 1) small proprietary disk format 2) weird controller.
No one wants to play Tony Hawk on a Gamecube pad, and the limited storage space of a Gamecube disk often meant games had to be shipped on two disks or corners had to be cut with respect to audio, FMV, or graphics quality.
I really don't think lack of online play hurt it that much considering online play was never that big on the PS2. You also had games like Phantasy Star Online which was a reason for people to buy the console.

VC is different from eShop btw
You will be able to buy and download the launch day indies.
VC refers specifically to the back catalog console games.
