    I’d really hate it if they went back to traditional console. 90% of my switch playtime is in handheld.

      Not mine, but I sure as hell enjoy the ease of moving it to my cabin when I go there. Or moving it between rooms. And when I am on the go, yes I enjoy handheld too. Perfect solution IMO. What makes it the best is that it’s the swiss army knife of consoles.

      Even if this is legit, this could just be prototype hardware - in a larger form to make it easy to swap out parts.

      Assuming any of this is legit:

      Is it possible that the “Switch 2” has a hybrid version like the Switch, a handheld version like the Switch Lite, and a home console version? (Or even just hybrid and home console versions, with a handheld to come later?)

      These could all run the same software with very similar hardware, but the home console would either be cheaper or offer higher resolutions and/or framerates than the docked hybrid console.

      Customers might get confused, but this is arguably more straightforward than the current lineup.

      The downside is that developers would need to handle 3 different configurations (handheld, docked, and home).
