Pyro as Bill said:
Not if it can still switch between portable and home.
Nah, they've put themselves exactly where they should be. They get to take advantage of all the advances in portable technology which is something the competition can't do (4G/5G, flash memory, portable CPU/GPUs). Unlike with a PS4 or 3DS, an alternative model doesn't have to be a replacement, it can be a companion. Whether it's a smaller, more portable companion or a more functional/powerful companion to the current Switch depends on what consumers want. |
Yeah, it's certainly possible that a Switch Mini replacement to the 3DS line would still feature a dock of some sort. Really, with how well it's been received and how convenient it can be there's no reason not to include one, but I do still wonder if they actually would.
