In the console wars, Nintendo stayed on the sidelines for several years and focused on an underserved industry, handheld consoles.
Despite the importance of mobile games, many manufacturers have taken control of the mobile gaming industry, mostly occupied by Nintendo and dominated by smartphones (which we systematically carry with us).
Logitech would enter the fray
After Steam released the Steam Deck and recently announced the arrival of a successor, it’s Logitech’s turn to offer a console that could be described as “Switch Lite” in partnership with Tencent.
Little information is available at the moment, but the images shared on Twitter by the famous leaker Evan Blass make it possible to guess the direction that Logitech has chosen. Note that the photos were deleted from his account at the time of publication of this article.

The console will offer two joysticks on each side of the screen, a directional pad, a Logitech button on the left and X, Y, A, B buttons arranged like the Home and Xbox controller on the right. We also note the presence of “+” and “-” buttons, similar to Switch.
A cloud-oriented console?
The home screen appears to have a carousel of various famous logos. The presence of Google Play indicates that the machine will run on Android, allowing you to take advantage of part of the catalog of existing mobile games.
The presence of the Xbox, Nvidia, and Steam logos indicate that the console is also designed to work with cloud gaming services such as Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce NOW, and Steam Remote Play.
The Bluetooth logo (in addition to WiFi) is also displayed on the home screen, indicating that the device is compatible with wireless headphones.
Of course, all his information should be taken conditionally, as it comes from images that were briefly published on the Internet.
