Other portable devices are bigger but switch is destroying them in sales along with being extremely dated tech. Think about it for a second and how Nintendo works they could have easily made oled switch 2 with a 7 inch screen and really fixed the biggest gripe with the switch which is the lcd screen but you expect them make the screen bigger because a few male gamers complained when the Switch is probably gonna end up the best selling console of all time. A big bulky device is not gonna be good for sales but with 8nm they have too and they will release a mini and oled screen a the smaller chip in 2 years. |
If having a small sized form factor mattered as much as you suggest (i.e. it is the reason why Nintendo outsells handheld PC's*) then Nintendo wouldn't go with an 8NM chip. They don't "have to" go with the chip if they think it is a burden to their sales potential.
Again, battery life matters more than a slightly bigger size anyway. People want handhelds that last longer between plug-ins, not necessarily pocketable ones (which the Switch isn't.)
*It is not the reason why Nintendo's platform sells better. Exclusive titles and price are.
