So it's.... Not a switch.

Poor marketing. Just don't call it a switch and it's not a bad handheld!

That's a Nintendo PSP 😄

@heyheni damnit you beat me to it.

I've been preaching that the PSP was ahead of it's time, I guess this is helpful 🤷🏻‍♂️

It will sell gangbusters which ist all what counts in the end.

@Stuxnet This one doesn't even vibrate.

Wasn't there a Nokia phone like that which failed hard?

@ilikeglue If you're referring to the N-gage it was a bit a different.

It's clearly a cost cutting measure. At the moment they have the DS as their handhold console, and the switch as their main, using completely different parts and processes.

This enables them to kill off the DS long term and replace it with this, which uses a lot of the same parts of the switch, meaning they can leverage economies of scale to a much greater extent.
