> stagnant casual mobile gaming space

Between Switch and a lot of great mobile games I'm not sure how it's stagnant.

Do people consider the switch a mobile platform? I mean it sort of is but... It's really a console. Depends how you define mobile, if mobile === carry in your pocket it's not. If mobile === independent from a TV then yes.

In London, it does not appear to be treated like something mobile – but in Tokyo it certainly is. You will see kids – mainly boys – huddle together around Switch screens or playing using the wireless wherever you go in suburban Tokyo.

I saw a fair few people on the tube with their switch!

[pushpop]

I’m one of them

I've seen one or two people using the Switch on the London Underground. Rare but not non-existent.

Until recently, I exclusively played my Switch while travelling - it’s great for planes.

It’s now permanently in my backpack and I play it on the tube on my daily commute. It’s great

It’s very common for high school kids (in America) to take their switch from class to class and play during free periods. A lot of people take their switch everywhere in their bag and just prop it up when they want to play a quick game of smash with friends.

So yes, I would definitely consider the switch mobile

I've played roughly 1000 hours on my switch, so far. Most of that is on the commuter train.

As a single data point, I've only played the switch with a TV once or twice, when I was playing with friends.

It fits in a big pocket (or two) or a medium-small purse. I'd call it mobile.

yeah, I bring it around with me, as a portable gaming device. I consider it a mobile platform, plus I have big pockets.
