Since launching the Switch in 2017, Nintendo has maintained a stronghold on the handheld gaming market, particularly after competitors like Sony and Microsoft stepped back from this space. However, with the impending release of the Switch 2 in 2025, the landscape is changing. The success of the Steam Deck has revived interest in PC handheld devices, creating a competitive market that will challenge Nintendo's dominance. This shift highlights Nintendo's role in pioneering hybrid gaming experiences, but also their vulnerability as others seek to capture the same audience.
Nintendo's foresight with the Switch enabled a gaming revolution, but as competition from new PC handhelds arises, the company's dominance is now challenged.
The arrival of dedicated handheld devices from Steam Deck and others is reshaping the gaming landscape, presenting Nintendo with its most significant competition since the Game Boy.
