I honestly would love to see Nintendo have a direct competitor again. Another company that isn't chasing resolution and fps counts, but focusing on family and group gaming.

There's no good business sense to do so. Why compete with three other titans in hardware (where they've been beaten several times already), where they can just release software on whatever platforms makes the most sense, or all platforms.

  Especially when hardware is a money losing game half the time. Just do the software and let others lose money on the hardware!

    It’s impossible to compete with Sony and MS. They put insane amounts of money in, and selling another $500 console to someone without the name/brand/library of the big two is hopeless. Nintendo got off the GPU treadmill and started playing a different game. It’s the only reason they survived. But other companies have tried doing a Switch like thing of taking an existing chip and making a console. nVidia and Google couldn’t do it and they have tons of money too. Steam had a niche, but a giant existing library (of a sort) and a strong name. Sega has published the Yakuza series (supposed to be great), Sonic (let’s face it, garbage for 15+ years), and what? Their nostalgia is running low. They don’t have the money to make a Tegra 1 console. And if they did? Who would buy it? Why risk buying that unless you’re a collector? I doubt they could undercut the Switch price much but the Switch has an amazing library and massive name behind it. I don’t see how Sega could do any more than be a publisher/creator. Hardware is a losing game. The market is full.

I hope. I still have hope in my heart. I grew up with Sega and seeing them come back with a console... wow. I would line up. I still remember my dreamcast so many good warm memories of my childhood.
