    I’d really hate it if they went back to traditional console. 90% of my switch playtime is in handheld.

      Even if this is legit, this could just be prototype hardware - in a larger form to make it easy to swap out parts.

      Not mine, but I sure as hell enjoy the ease of moving it to my cabin when I go there. Or moving it between rooms. And when I am on the go, yes I enjoy handheld too. Perfect solution IMO. What makes it the best is that it’s the swiss army knife of consoles.

      Assuming any of this is legit:

      Is it possible that the “Switch 2” has a hybrid version like the Switch, a handheld version like the Switch Lite, and a home console version? (Or even just hybrid and home console versions, with a handheld to come later?)

      These could all run the same software with very similar hardware, but the home console would either be cheaper or offer higher resolutions and/or framerates than the docked hybrid console.

      Customers might get confused, but this is arguably more straightforward than the current lineup.

      The downside is that developers would need to handle 3 different configurations (handheld, docked, and home).
