Been thinking about it recently, and I honestly feel that the Switch is probably the perfect console form factor. Obviously, physical specifications can be improved (faster processor, more battery life), but in terms of the form factor itself, it’s so balanced in the way you can play it on a big screen and handheld

I don’t think Nintendo would ever move away from this model, but thinking ahead (even after a potential Switch 2), how could Nintendo evolve beyond this type of form factor? Or is this perhaps the peak of this type of design and we’re just getting improved specs/minor ergonomic changes from here on out (which I’d be totally fine with)?

    There are a ton of reasons why the Wii U failed. But I’m suggesting something closer to the Switch. Basically a beefier Switch lite with an option to remotely dock. It would do exactly what the Switch currently does but in a more convenient way. What makes you think that would fail?

      My main gripe and reason to not purchase would be the lack of removable components. And a fatter switch without removable components sounds like a WiiU without the optical drive or offloaded processor unit.

      I think the sales numbers of Switch units for 2022 are compelling. It demonstrates how others feel about an integrated device from Nintendo.

      2.6 million lites sold vs 15.3 million joycon enabled switches (6.1 standard, 9.2 oled)

      (Also the dock is great for charging)
