IMO Before coming to price, none of the Switch-likes are good products for the broader market. They lack the UX, polish, brand, games, and pretty much everything that makes Nintendo consoles such a big success.
I wouldn't compare the experience of playing Super Mario Odyssey on Switch and some old game on a janky emulator or some AA game on 20fps and broken UI.
Even if they had the same price tag, I wouldn't expect something like Aya Neo to eat into Nintendo's market share. Only a fully developed platform can do that.
- libertine 5y agoActually I wasn't mentioning the android devices, or the ones dedicated to be emulation machines, but kind of a "newish" win10 machines where you can install pretty much what ever you want (from PC games to emulators), but come at a high price tag (600€++). Everyone has to start somewhere, and history has shown that pricing was a major factor for the success of consoles (besides ofc IP, distribution, branding). You have great examples, like Gameboy VS Gamegear or Playstation VS Sega Saturn.
