All Future Consoles Should Have A Handheld Mode

TG: “The Nintendo Switch is a game changer. It has literally changed the game. Being able to play something on my TV, undock it, then continue playing in bed or on a train or wherever—it's so simple, so elegant, so brilliant. In fact, it's brilliant to the point where I now actively resent my PS5 and gaming PC, because when I'm playing a game on them I'm stuck there. Yeah, the PlayStation has remote play and there are similar options for PC, but it's not the same. That feeling of taking the hardware with you elevates the Switch beyond mere streaming. I firmly believe this is the future of console gaming. Not graphics, AI, physics, or any of that, but flexibility.“

No thanks, the Switch suffer heavily in term of power because of that. I'd take a more powerful console any day instead of an underpowered one you can take with you.

I don't see the switch as a replacement for my Playstation as my main console but it is a brilliant second console. After Horizon Forbidden West session's and having open world fatigue set in I unwind with Triangle Strategy in bed. And next I want to start on the Xenoblade series which I intend to play in docked mode until the next God of War is released. That being said Switch is its own thing and I doubt Sony will ever release a hybrid console with their business model that has given them great success.

If they made it with a dock to boost performance for tv play then it would be perfect and people would be willing to pay more to get both instead of buying 2 separate devices.

Wish Steam deck would have added a thunderbolt connection for future proofing of a possible performance boosting dock.

Nah, i'd rather have higher end specs that push the industry forward. Doesn't mean i dont want the switch, i still plan on getting one when life allows, just not needed for every system.

They can add a cheap dedicated tablet like device that's meant only for streaming games from consoles. Most will not want the sacrifice in power for portability so a cheap streaming device that's designed around gaming could be an alternative to the idea.

-Foxtrot1507d ago

Why? They'd always have to think about how the handheld mode will affect the game, so you'd be making the game to the lowest specs, not to mention the battery consumption aswell.

Yeah the Switch is cool to take on the go but if they made a docked only version which made games run better, look better, had way more storage, included a classic gamecube styled controller among other things, I'd buy it in a heart beat.

Have... have you picked up a Series X or Playstation 5? Those fuckers are heavy! Best we will get it Cloud Gaming or Remote Gaming, both of which I use with my Series X.
