As Nintendo delays, others take it upon themselves to show off the Switch 2

A 3D-printed mock-up of what’s said to be the next Nintendo Switch console has become the center of attention at CES.

Third-party gaming-accessories maker Genki has been showcasing its planned Switch 2 accessories using the mock-up and has dropped renderings on its website. Reports say the rumored design lines up with earlier leaks: a wider console with larger controllers that attach magnetically.

For its part, Nintendo has remained quiet about the Switch-cessor — except to say it will make an announcement about it by the end of March — while it squeezes one last holiday sales season out of the Switch. In the meantime, it has slashed Switch sales expectations by 1 million consoles and its overall revenue has fallen 17% from last year.

When it does come out, the Switch 2 may face more handheld competition than its predecessor did: Valve’s Steam Deck and Asus’ ROG Ally have been gaining steam, and Microsoft last year confirmed it’s working on an Xbox handheld.
