Will the Switch ever get a Direct competitor?

Try 1 hour instead of 5 the liquid screen burned through batteries sometimes in 20 minutes.

Never heard of such crappy ones before, must have had some defects or really shitty batteries (like in 500 times recharged already).

Mine generally held up for about 4-5 hours, similar to the Switch in fact. Could get up to 6 hours with Zinc/Carbon batteries, but those where too expensive back then.

It's hard not to hear such stories they were very common, in the UK the game gear became a running gag as a result and the batteries used weren't crappy ones either they were from notable brands like Duracell.
