<p>Earlier today you may have caught <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/10/nintendo_isnt_that_smart_pachter_says_nintendo_should_scrap_switch_and_only_have_switch_lite">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>
<p>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 — a great additional pillar to expand Nintendo’s audience.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/10/nintendo_gamers_prefer_using_switch_as_a_handheld_rather_than_docked">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>
<p>Below are a selection of handheld-to-docked mode percentages — 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>
<p><em>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>
