Nintendo Switch 2 - Should it go hybrid?

We are already entering the month of September and this only means one thing clearly, it is time for presentations, rumors and leaks everywhere but. That is why following the latest events related to Nintendo Switch 2I have decided to allow myself the luxury of giving you up to 5 reasons why I think you shouldn’t go for the hybrid model even though we have a huge catalog with the best Nintendo Switch games available, everything has an end.

Improved graphics performance

Yes, it is true that precisely and to be honest, graphic power does not always mean economic success or sales success and we do not have to go back much with Nintendo Gamecube when that generation was precisely won by PlayStation 2, being the one with the least graphical power, or currently with Nintendo Switch.

But surely many of us have thought at some point the quality and graphic power that many of the legendary franchises that we could enjoy would have. It would be the perfect time, especially considering, for example, the current presentation of the PlayStation 5 Pro, to try to get closer to the model of the rest of the competitors.

Comfort and greater security

Be honest, how many of you when you see the Dock de Nintendo Switchyou have wanted to take it with you on a trip and move the cables, the flap that goes up and down. In the end, the most logical thing is that you end up giving more use to the model in portable format than in its desktop version.

In this way it ends up losing a bit of its charm, perhaps it could be fixed simply by changing the type of structure but today it ends up being very difficult to be able to take this instrument with you. dust collector in its unreachable cracks, so taking the console to c onnect it to the television is sometimes a very unbearable mission.

Avoid device fragility

We all know what we have in our hands when we decide to take our Nintendo Switch In portable mode, whether you’re travelling, on the metro or anywhere else, it’s a tablet, in short, with a glass screen, certainly with its risks and consequent fragility that this entails. It’s rare to find someone who carries their console without a case or some kind of protection and I’m sure you know a friend who is reluctant to take it out of the house to avoid any kind of complications.

Although one could also speak of the battery issue in portable mode and here I can speak from personal experience when you have it discharged for a long time it goes into hibernation mode from which you can get out by charging it for even more than a day and that is if you are lucky and it does not end up resulting in a permanent failure. That is why I am not entirely comfortable if Nintendo decides to continue betting on this line of business.

Most profitable business model

At this point, you will allow me to put myself from the point of view of a businessman, of how I would face a market opportunity in the position in which Nintendo is currently and it is none other than that of bet again on the previous model of desktop and portable consoles on sale simultaneously. We don’t have to go very far in reviewing the historical lists of best-selling consoles to find Gameboy y Nintendo DS occupying the highest positions in this coveted classification.

So with this on the table and the prospect that the laptop business model is increasingly more presence In its strong market cores such as Japan and the US, it would be seen as a perfect opportunity to turn the business around again and commit to the previous business model.

Greater innovation

If I’m honest, this is precisely of all the points that worries me the most on a personal level in view of the release of Nintendo Switch 2, if something has always characterized the great N, it is precisely its capacity for innovationto take risks, to assume risks with the launch of their consoles.

And I don’t think that I would make another decision in your position, but it’s scary to continue like this. conservative line It marks a point of no return for the company and it abandons all creative efforts and attempts to surprise the community in the future. It ends up losing its identity in the pursuit of maintaining high sales figures.
