| sc94597 said: You and whereby. Technically the Switch Lite isn't a hybrid and probably counts too (although it is only barely pocketable.) I wonder though, what would be the niche this fills? Indie games release on essentially all platforms and are now playeable on the various cheap android handhelds through compatibility layers. Those are the sort of titles that would release on a dedicated platform like this. I guess the one negative is the ease of use is not as seamless as a dedicated platform. |
I'm not saying Nintendo is going to do this. I'm saying I'm missing cheap handhelds with "handheld" games on them - short, neat experiences. As for the games, obviously Nintendo first party titles would be the biggest draw.
As for market viability: As current consoles are overshooting a large portion of the market with their prices and features, it would actually be the perfect time to release such a handheld, as it would be disruptive to the established business model. However, it's unlikely for Sony or Nintendo to disrupt themselves (even though that's what companies should do).
But again, I'm not saying it#s going to happen. I'm just saying I miss these sort of handhelds (and if prices continue to go up there would be a market for it).
