However, according to Game Rant, Nintendo is not the only one that is working on the multi-functionality concept of the switch. Back in 2015, Sony had filed a patent for a handheld console similar to Nintendo's incoming device. Although there are no confirmed reports as to why Sony and Nintendo have similar designs, it is believed that Sony might be developing a device to compete with the switch, or Sony could be working on developing the PlayStation Vita.


A report from blog.esuteru.com showed a handheld console, having a controller-like elements found on each side of the screen, similar to the Nintendo's Joy-Con removable controllers. If Sony should also release the patented device, avid Sony fans will surely be delighted.

However, in the same report by Game Rant, the patented device filed by Sony is not assurance that it will be released soon. A lot of patents in the past have been filed by Sony but have not yet been realized, including the glove controller. Furthermore, the filed patent is not indication that the company would want to invest on handheld consoles again.

Nintendo Switch is set to launch, and the device will be tested once it hits the market on March 3. Stay tuned for more Telegiz update.
