Comment on Steam Deck sales drop hard following the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement

• paultimate14@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  The Switch 2 is supposedly going to be 206mm L x 115mm W x 14mm D.

  The Deck is 298mm x 117mm x 49mm. So still 1.5x the length of the S2 and 3x the width.

  I can’t find any reports of the Switch 2’s weight, but I expect it to be significantly less than the 640g of the Deck. The Switch 2 will have a slightly larger screen, but is a smaller device overall.

  But all that aside I still expect Nintendo to offer another, smaller version of the Switch 2 within a couple years. They had the Switch Lite, 2DS, DS Lite, DSi, GBA Micro, GBA SP, Gameboy Pocket, and probably more I’m not thinking of. So they will probably do a Switch 2 Lite or something.

    Your measurements of the switch may be missing the controls

      I can’t say for sure, but it looks like it includes the controls based on this mock-up from IGN:
