Let's have a look at some slightly more 'out-there', unexpected ideas that Nintendo could add to the Switch successor to open up new gameplay possibilities.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

I don't mind gimmicky features like the PS Vita or Switch (evolution of the Wii) had, as long as they're an option and not forced. I mostly play Mario Golf handheld w normal controls, but every great once in a while, I'll use the motion controls to play a round. My kids especially love it. Or swinging the sword and shield in Skyrim.
I grew tired of the Wii quickly though back in the day, where most games were requiring waggle.
With whatever they choose, I hope it's a bonus feature that some games may fully embrace, but not all. Also whatever they choose, I hope it's not a financial straining point so much that it forces them to use excessively weak hardware in order to keep the price down.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they release a standard Switch 2 and a Switch 2 Pro side by side. I would most definitely go Pro.
better online functionality
Message a friend, drop the code to add a friend, and a party chat system would be great features.
Would have like a dock only console with more power. But man I would like trophies or achievements too. Message a friend etc.
If we are talking about different features, I would really like the ability to stream content to the screen while using it in handheld mode. Basically, a Wii U Gamepad 2.0.
I'm fully aware that few games would use that feature, but the possibilities for new game modes, inventory management, and especially asymmetrical multiplayer would be there.
And if there is a "Lite," I hope it isn't artificially limited like the current model. Adding the ability to "switch" to it would cost literally just a few cents, and Nintendo could make more money by selling specific docks and controllers for it. Not to mention, it would still retain its niche as a smaller device without detachable controllers.
