Dedicated gaming console that acts like real handheld and like real home console,!?

That makes me wonder. If they were to copy it, how would they do that? Nintendo made the Switch from the ground up with that idea in mind, but the PS4 and XBOne are, first and foremost, home consoles. How do you change the hardware to allow a PS4/XBOne handheld? Not to mention all the problems that would follow after (cartridges, battery life, screen resolution, fighting for the handheld market while it's shrinking...).

It is easy for Sony and Microsoft to go mobile with PS4 and XBO. They are already building the path to scalable hardware and games, and the hardware is already based on mobile tech. Microsoft is already scaling games across multiple platforms with Xbox Anywhere, and we will soon be able to Play Xbox games on anything from a Surface Phone to the most high end Surface PC. On Sony's side, they are rebuilding the company around PlayStation Hardware and PlayStation Networked Services. A Handheld/Phone version of the PS4 is not an issue at all and is completely possible, as is an extream high end PS4. Niether one will copy the Switch completely, but they will offer a range of devices from mobile, to portable, to home/theater. 

Also, the handheld market is not dieing. Mobile devices are bigger than ever. What is dieing is non connected devices. If Switch has 4G + Calling and Texting, then it will sell incredibly well. The same will go for a PlayStation Phone and Handheld, and the Surface Phones. People are ready for innovation in the mobile space, now, will Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony deliver?



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
