I know. I just thought that'd be a good start as GB pocket was the very first major revision of any Nintendo system and the beginning of revision craze. Before that, there was just a massive 7 year gap. There were also GB models with colored cases, released one year before the pocket, but I wouldn't classify them as "major". Anyways, if we plug in Switch release date to those numbers, we get 2018-11-30 (GB lite), 2019-02-01 (GBA SP), 2018-06-01 (DS lite) and 2018-08-03 (3DS XL). So we already passed two of those dates and November release is highly unlikely. Unless Nintendo doesn't care about the revisions anymore (could just treat it as regular home console), Switch revision is very close. |
But did any of those systems have their revision before getting a price cut? I think that's due first next year, with the revision coming 2020. Also, this shows Nintendo doesn't have a history of making revisions that are inferior to the base model, at least not midcycle. Gameboy Advance Micro And Wii Mini came at the end of their lifespans, so 2DS is an exception.
