For those of us with zero interest in playing a console on the go I wish they would release a non-mobile version and put the money saved into beefier specs.



Same. They already made the Lite, I wish they’d make the opposite.


It’s more for playing in your room where you don’t have a TV, than necessarily on-the-go. Just how smartphones are nowadays used for gaming at home by the younger generation. You still don’t want to be tethered to a power outlet.


The beefier specs would be wasted though since game developers would still be primarily targeting the handheld (since that is still their main offering, so that's what most people have).

Not necessarily, there are pro versions of both PlayStation and Xbox

That's my case as well, especially now that Switch has established itself and you can get Switch Mini for $200 if interested in on-the-go experience.


Nintendo's best selling consoles are all handhelds, its not surprising for them to stick with the hybrid form factor.
