@swoose especially if the rumors are true and it's just going to be a Switch 2 on steroids. In order to sale more than the Switch or have a chance Nintendo will really need to find something that is going to fresh and not just rehash the same ol' I think.

I've seen the recent leaks of the alleged joycons for the new system as well. But who is to say that those aren't just concepts for the Switch.

Nintendo will continue to dominate the handheld market because that is what they have always been good at. Look back at all the handhelds that have tried to dethrone Nintendo. That's not to say that some weren't good, they just didn't have the arsenal that Nintendo has. I still think Microsoft should drop out of the game industry and pool their resources to fix the mess that is Windows 11, and not release a handheld that isn't going to go any where. I also think Sony just needs to correct the trajectory that the PS5 is on. You don't really hear much these days about either system from Microsoft or Sony, there just sorta there, at least to me.

I'm not here to bash either company just what I have seen following the market. Who's to say though, maybe Sony and Microsoft will pull a rabbit out of their hat and release a handheld that will give Nintendo a run for their money. Only time will tell if the rumors are true and if they will succeed where others have failed.
