I would like to hear some of your thoughts on where you see handheld gaming in the future.
Personally I would love to see Nintendo continue making more 3DS-like handheld systems with unique hardware features and form factors but I think it's clear that Nintendo knows hardware like the Switch is going to be standard for portable systems going forward. Single screened devices with or without hybrid functionality using modern specs capable of running modern games with the exception of most AAA games.
I think dedicated handheld systems will face some big hurdles in the future though as demand for such devices continues to slowly fall due to mobile gaming & other platforms while simultaneously expectations of what these systems can offer will rise, such as the desire for higher specs and compatibility with applications like multimedia functionality, web browsing and streaming.
What do you guys think?
