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)?

    I hadn’t considered a wireless dock, but that would actually be amazing. Either allowing the Switch to connect to a screen alone, or act like the Wii U gamepad. I’d even go a step further in that case and suggest that they remove the joycon element and focus more on an ergonomic all-in-one gamepad. Basically the Wii U but with the ability to play fully handheld if you want.

      Battery would be an issue of you mainly play on TV. I liked the WiiU but hated that I needed to separately wire the gamepad on longer sessions
