Nintendo Mini Switch Expected 2019 |…

Analysts believe the current Switch is too big for kids, so a smaller one will eventually be released. With the launch of the Switch, Nintendo hedged its bets and tried to cater to multiple gaming markets with one hybrid device. The Switch is a home console, but it’s also a portable.
