Nintendo says docked / undocked playtime on Switch is “about even”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Switch offers two completely different play styles. You can choose to dock it like a home console, or take the gaming experience anywhere with portable play.
Interestingly, it seems the two are being used at a similar rate. Nintendo senior VP for sales and marketing Doug Bowser told Ars that the split between the two modes is “about even – about 50 percent in the dock and 50 percent away from the dock.” Undocked includes tabletop play as well as fully handheld play. Bowser added that Nintendo doesn’t keep track of which “undocked” mode a player is using.

During the Wii era, one of the most successful third-party releases at the time was Carnival Games. It turned out to be a million seller and also spawned a pair of sequels. Over 9.5 million copies have been sold across all Carnival Games titles.
The same franchise is making a return on Switch later this year, 2K announced today. Simply titled Carnival Games, the latest entry has been built from the ground up for Nintendo’s console and “can be played alone or with up to four players simultaneously, leveraging the unique accessibility of the console’s Joy-Con controllers.” 20 games will be included.
