Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo says most people play Nintendo Switch in both modes (favoring undocked)

For me, it’s a mixed bag, but I’ve been favoring portable mode as of late.

I wouldn't doubt it.  Nintendo OS based on Windows 10 confirmed. :)

Back on topic, it's interesting to see that so many people are actually using the console to the fullest.  It certainly gives me the opportunity to play games for longer periods, that's for sure.  Personally, I was expecting to use it at least 90% undocked, but even though I still use it as a handheld a lot (mostly during long bus rides or slow days at work), it's simply more comfortable to sit in my chair with a pro controller and dock it into my monitor.  My ratio has turned out to be a 60/40 split in favor of docked.

My dock is still in the box, I haven't used it yet. And I don't think I'm ever going to.

In your Nintendo account there is a setting to turn Usage information off, pretty sure this info comes from that.

It was a survey. I took part, for example.

Both of those things are good to know.

In the briefing results it clearly states it comes from the Nintendo Account, not a survey.
The survey some people mention is the next slide concerning US Switch demographics.

Having not read anything beyond the first 25 posts:

I wonder if Nintendo can tell which mode we play in and record that information. The Switch can already tell when we play, how long we play, and when we download software. I wonder if it can record how long games are docked or not. It should be possible, o imagine.

It's called metadata.
Most gaming platforms it these days. Especially when it comes to live service games.
