A Nintendo Switch Mini or Nintendo Switch Pocket handheld console could be in the pipeline according to a popular X-based leaker. It seems the source has dug up numerous patents that point to a miniature Switch, although patents often lead to nothing more than the public description of an idea. However, this hasn’t stopped the leaker predicting a price and release date for a Switch Mini.

I think we all know that patents don’t usually mean anything and aren’t an indicator of a product actually coming to launch, but what do you all think of a potentially smaller, more portable Switch?

    Took me a while to understand the difference between all the recent Xboxes. I hate their naming scheme!

    Xbox One = base unit, released in 2013. Equivalent to PS4.

    Xbox One X = mid-gen upgrade, released in 2017. Equivalent to PS4 Pro.

    Xbox Series S = lower-tier current-gen console, released in 2020. No PS equivalent.

    Xbox Series X = higher-tier current-gen console, released in 2020 alongside the Series S. Equivalent to PS5.
