Apple would jump on the hybrid console bandwagon in the face of the enormous dominance and success of the Nintendo Switch.
Over more than 4 and a half years Nintendo switch has marked a before and after in the video game industry in general and Nintendo in particular, being so that in these months we have even been able to see how Valve announced a hybrid console with a planned launch in late 2021.
However, it may not be the only company trying to emulate Nintendo’s enormous success, as rumor has it, Apple would also jump on the bandwagon with its own hybrid console. All this through a redesign and new approach to Apple tv, the well-known device of the apple company.
Under this premise, a new device that could be on the table in Apple’s offices would be Apple TV A14, which, according to the rumors that have been known, it would be a console that would rival the Nintendo Switch, in such a way that, currently, games are in development that They would stand up to Zelda Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.

It should be mentioned that it is not the first time that rumors about an Apple console have been read and heard, since in the past it has been known that investment in game studios had increased, pointing many to a Zelda-style game.
Also, to this we should add an alleged Apple patent in 2019, which would show a device that is very similar to the well-known Joy-Con, which would fit perfectly in this type of console due to the ease they provide when playing in portable mode or in TV mode.
On the other hand, as a result of the date of this patent, there were even insiders who even hinted that we would see the console in 2020 or 2021Either in your launch or announcement. Nevertheless, the health pandemic may have delayed Apple’s original plansThis being something quite common among large technology companies, especially due to the shortage of basic components for the devices and the logistical difficulties in their distribution.
Regarding speculation about its success or not, it must be said that, throughout these years, there have been several attempts to emulate the success of Nintendo, with very few cases that have had at least a part of the success of the Japanese company.
This would not only apply to consoles, but also to multiple licenses, such as the well-known Pokémon clones or controllers that were intended to emulate the Wii Mote in the past decade. Will have to see if Apple gets into this industry on the right foot or ends up going out the back door.
