After the Switch2, what do you think the Switch3 will look like?

I think that Nintendo will be interested in making their hardware more compact, providing they can still squeeze in tech that's equivalent to the PS4 Pro or something. I think they might actually experiment with folding screens - so you have a device that can be used like a standard switch, but then you can partial fold it and attach the controllers in portrait mode to play 3DS style games. Could probably fully fold it to make it more portable, but that depends on a solution for the protruding joysticks.

Honestly, I hope AR glasses really kick in before then. There is only so much of a physical screen you can put into a device before it is no longer portable, in any sense of the word. Without a screen on the actual hardware, you only have to worry about space for things inside and heat. An ar screen can be much bigger and any shape you want. With optional streaming, you wouldn't even need to carry the main device with you.

If Nintendo releases a new console it's probably gonna be the last anyway... So let's not get ahead of ourselves, shall we ?

They will think of some weird new gimmick

Perhaps electrodes on the head to "control" the game with the mind

Assuming they will drop cartridges and finally catch up to Blu ray, I think it will look like a regular disc player... but with some quirky gimmick that 50% of gamers will hate.

Nintendo is known for successful gimmicks. I think the most likely will be a social one.
Something like StreetPass rebooted. I could see maybe having a dongle or mobile component like the Pokewalker.
If they try a hardware gimmick....maybe a built in HD projector?

you're still a bit off with how things work, so let me enlighten you, the switch is weak because it's the most compact hardware that can still be affordable by the majority of end users, they can make it more compact and more powerful but it'll be far more expensive, they'll always stay two generations behind because they're playing on two factors, Nostalgia and portability.

    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
