Apologies to the naysayers and even the inevitable down voters but iOS and Android have already crushed the portable gaming market. The likelihood of dedicated hardware EVER getting back its previous glory is unlikely.
Console gaming retains its luster because mobile simply cannot compete against consoles regarding graphics, audio quality, and so forth. Nintendo Switch enjoys no such benefits.
There are already controller cases for both iPhone and iPad which are just as good, if not better, than the one Switch ships with. iOS already has a mature app store with TONS of quality content (not gaming and otherwise).
I'm sorry but I just don't see a solid future for this kind of thing anymore.
The 3DS has sold 65 million units. Obviously there still is a market, even it's not back to the glory days. And Nintendo has jumped into the smartphone space as well.
