Been thinking about it recently, and I honestly feel that the Switch is probably the perfect console form factor. Obviously, physical specifications can be improved (faster processor, more battery life), but in terms of the form factor itself, it’s so balanced in the way you can play it on a big screen and handheld

I don’t think Nintendo would ever move away from this model, but thinking ahead (even after a potential Switch 2), how could Nintendo evolve beyond this type of form factor? Or is this perhaps the peak of this type of design and we’re just getting improved specs/minor ergonomic changes from here on out (which I’d be totally fine with)?

    Nintendo likes to come out of left field with some weird shit sometimes. Unfortunately they’re also usually not on par with current consoles even when released. They like to play it safe in respect to specifications while coming up with wild ideas. I do kinda like that they don’t try to go hardcore on the latest and greatest as it does make for a more stable platform that people know how to work with.
