I'd say yes. Depends on what exactly constitutes direct in relation to the Switch, but I can see hybrid like devices similar enough to Switch coming to market in the next couple of years. With MS having botched the XB1 new type of console launch, I would think that a streaming console would be as far as they push it for now. If that console succeeded, then maybe they try their hand at a hybrid. With the experience SNY has with mobile, handheld, and console, plus the momentum behind them right now, I'd be surprised if they turned a blind eye to that portion of the market. With entertainment growth like Google gaming expanding and the Mad Box looking to take a shot at console gaming, It's hard not to imagine Switch having some kind of direct competition in the not so distant future.
