Nintendo Switch
Nintendo's console, played in the hand or dropped into a dock for the television
One console that plays in the hand and slots into a dock for the television. Its library runs from ten-minute puzzle games to long single-player releases, and handheld mode is the reason people pick it over a fixed console. In these stacks it shows up as deliberate downtime rather than as work.
