| curl-6 said: Yeah PC handhelds are too niche to have any significant impact on Switch 2; they appeal to the most hardcore enthusiasts, the kind of person who either wouldn't buy a Switch 2 anyway, or who would probably get one in addition to their ROG Ally or Steam Deck. |
PC "handhelds" are not the only one's that will try to make that blue ocean more red.
As for phones - well, they've already shattered once dedicated handheld market - honestly, from my POV, I don't see Switch, PC and future XBOX/PS dedicated "handhelds" as classic handhelds - given their dimensions and weight, it's more sensible to call them portables. Handhelds, as they once were, as in devices you can carry around in your pocket, currently live in smartphones.
And yes, currently, bar the time you spend playing in each category, there is not that much overlap between mobile and dedicated gaming portables market, apart from small collection of titles that are available on both and mobile titles that are aiming to be full-blown console gaming experiences...but for some reason, I have this itch that says that this will all change in next XYZ years.
