Earlier today you may have caught the latest quote from a certain well-known analyst<\/a> suggesting that Nintendo would do well to scrap the standard Switch entirely and concentrate on the handheld-only Switch Lite model.<\/p>\n

We (and most industry onlookers, we’d wager) would argue that the console’s namesake hybrid nature is its greatest strength, and that the Switch Lite simply offers a cheaper alternative for handheld fans and budget-conscious gamers \u2014 a great additional pillar to expand Nintendo’s audience.<\/p>\n

Without wanting to focus on questionable takes, we thought it might be interesting to see how you split your Switch gaming time between modes with a little poll. Back in October 2017<\/a>, Nintendo’s own data suggested that 30% of players used the Switch almost exclusively in handheld mode versus 20% who played in docked mode only, with the remaining 50% of players who switched between the two. We wonder if that’s still true three years later.<\/p>\n

Below are a selection of handheld-to-docked mode percentages \u2014 simply click on the ratio that best reflects how you use your (standard) Switch, and click the ‘Vote’ button at the bottom to give us a better picture of how things stand in 2020.<\/p>\n

Thanks for voting. Do the results surprise you? Has how you use your Switch changed over time? Let us know in the usual place.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
