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)?

    The Switch, with its ability to play on a screen or a handheld, is exactly what I’ve been wanting for 20+ years.

    Nintendo has nailed it. In future iterations I’d like to see improved specs and ergonomic changes as you and other posters have mentioned. That’s about it.

    A direction they could go is VR. I have a Quest 2 and I really enjoy it. It’s possible Nintendo could enter that space. But they don’t have any need to and I don’t want to see them to.
