I wonder why gaming devices like Nvidia Shield, Morphus X300, and this never really take off...and the Switch did...hmm... Just saying we've seen and heard this from many companies and it never really works out.

I was very interested in the Nvidia Shield back in the days... until I had a chance to hold it for a few minutes. It was way to heavy (579g) and clunky for a handheld and additionally had a bad weight distribution due to the clamshell form.

The Morphus X300 weights even more (but should have a better weight distribution) and the thick clip-on controllers look like an afterthought... they don't even have the same height as the main device.

The Nintendo Switch has a much better design and the weight with 398g is on the upper end of my comfort zone for a handheld. And of course it doesn't have to depend on Android games.
