Weâve all heard the console war debates comparing Xbox to PlayStation. Over Thanksgiving break, I listened to my dad and brother attempt to decipher which one they should aim to secure during Black Friday. However, both consoles weigh almost 10 pounds, making them awkward to haul around during road trips or bring to a friendâs house. For more lightweight gaming, two popular portable alternatives are the Nintendo Switch and iPhone gaming. Hereâs what you should know about the two before you make your next gaming purchase.
Nintendo Switch
Reaching almost 80 million sales since its launch in early 2017, the Nintendo Switch is a popular gaming option among both men and women in the college age demographic. As of February 2021, it also had the highest buyer penetration, which means that itâs being used by the highest number of customers in its specific market. Weighing in at only .88 pounds, the Nintendo Switch is an appealing option for on-the-go fun.
