Other than the consoles, the Switch also has some other competitors that do not include console gaming:
PC Gaming: PC gaming, including both desktop and laptop setups, represents significant competition. PC gaming offers a diverse library of games, high-end graphics, and customization options. Platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and Origin are popular for purchasing and downloading games.
Mobile Gaming: Mobile gaming on smartphones and tablets is a growing competitor due to the increasing quality of mobile games and the convenience of playing on portable devices. Platforms like Apple Arcade and Google Play offer a wide variety of mobile games.
Cloud Gaming Services: Cloud gaming services like NVIDIA GeForce Now, Google Stadia, Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly Project xCloud), and Amazon Luna are gaining traction. These services allow players to stream and play games on various devices without needing powerful local hardware.
Retro Gaming Systems: Retro gaming systems, such as the Sega Genesis Mini and the PlayStation Classic, compete with Nintendo Switch by offering a nostalgic gaming experience with a selection of classic games.
