There’s something so intoxicatingly convenient about a game handheld. Despite the fact the Nintendo Switch 2’s design hasn’t changed from its 8-year-old prequel, it’s still the epitome of gaming thanks to the dock that connects it to your TV. Sony’s PlayStation brand seems to be hedging on the same bet Nintendo made nearly a decade ago.
