Nintendo will Release a Mini-Size Switch, Citigroup Predicts

[KBG29]

I have absolutly no doubt that we will see many variations of the Switch. Nintendo would be insane not to.

I think the biggest thing they need is a Switch Phone once they have their OS built up, and a great library of software. This would be a perfect 2019 device on 7nm tech. I honestly think all three platform holders will release gaming phones in or around 2019. The tech will be ready, and the mobile industry is long overdue for an overhaul.

A cheap Switch Lite with the current Switch performance on 7nm would be a great $149.99 entry model. Then to round things off, a new Switch Pro that takes full advantage of the jump to 7nm at $299.99.

As I have been saying for a while. I think we are closing in on a point where we will see new hardware every year from at least one of the big three, with years where we see multiple product refreshs/upgrades from one or all three. The days of static hardware are over. Now it is about keeping optimized gaming hardware alive. Hopefully, people that love games are smart enough not to ditch consoles and handhelds for PC, Smartphones, and Tablets. If the perception of consoles and handhelds can change, then we could see core gaming see another massive boom, but if people ditch gaming hardware for the aboved mentioned, we could have dark times ahead in the world of quality games.
