It depend, if it has the games that you wanted at least you will enjoy it and you have spare money, then just go buy it, But if you want to wait for different model then you need to wait for 3 years from now. So if you fine with current version then just buy it.

No way you will see new Switch model any time soon, earliest would be end of 2018.

We dont have any evidence for such a claims. With current price Nintendo cant still keep up with demand, demand in holiday season will of course will be much bigger in any case and regardless PS4 and XB1, so Nintendo isn't in any urge for revision.

There's qute a bit of comfortable wiggle room in the dock, when you slide the system in. I even contemplated adding protective strips of cloth to the rails just in case, but with the gorilla glass I don't have to worry about it.

I'm one of those that have said for quite a while there will be a revision for the Switch and my guess would be something like September next year just in time for the build up to Christmas 2018.

Reasons I would give;

A. Most importantly the current Switch isn't very good, its slightly too big and has short battery life. It's not an optimised design for portable use.

B. The Tegra chip in it is the old 20nm version which likely will no longer be produced. Nintendo may be forced to redesign to a 14nm fabrication process or better and so if they are redesigning the main motherboard may as well make other revisions. This is the pretty much normal for consoles, I think ps3 started at 90nm and was down to 40nm or less at the end.

C. It's claimed they were struggling to get some components due to Apple and a shortage of flash memory and companies were having to pay more to secure stock. A common solution to this is to redesign to use components with better prices and availability.

D. This one is more debatable but if there is a slowdown in sales then often providing a updated product helps with this. Nintendo DS did good business but DS lite was much better and sold much more. It feels to me that the current Switch is the Nintendo DS but a much improved DS lite style update is what will really push Switch sales.

It's difficult to judge because currently there is still stock shortages were Switch is popular so we don't know the true baseline of demand for Switch worldwide. I suggested there were 6 million core fans that needed to be satisfied before there was a drop off in demand and whether I'm right or wrong we aren't at 6 million yet. I thought we would be by now but stock shortages has prevented that.

E. The simple fact is there is more profit in a smaller sku, both in manufacturing costs and logistics assuming it will be the same performance and using slightly later improved fabrication. Smaller cheaper screen, lower capacity battery, cheaper motherboard, smaller heatsink/fan or no fan at all etc. Might get more in a shipping container, could be 10,000 instead of 8,000 or whatever the real figure is, suddenly shipping per unit is significantly less.

F. In the redesign they address all the reliability and return issues they can to make a more reliable and durable product. This means more profit again for Nintendo. Re-designed dock etc.

G. Lastly its what Nintendo do, they have a strong track record of releasing updated versions of consoles on such a timeline. Sometimes the revision is more hidden, massive internal design changes and sometimes its a new model but its pretty common for them to make such an update. Even if Nintendo don't do a major redesign of the exterior they may do a major internal revision using improved fabrication which means longer battery life and other improvements.

I wouldn't wait until a new model comes out. Personally, I'm getting one when Mario becomes available.

The only time you should wait for a new model is if the original model is kind of shitty looking, like the original DS and original GBA and original XBOX One and original PS3, people who waited got rewarded.

But the switch looks great imo

And since he said he doesn't care about the games available its a no brainer to just buy one indeed

What is this 2019-2020 and 3 years nonsense? This is Nintendo. Nintendo. A revision will show up this time next year, in time for the holidays. Most likely the same day as one of their big titles or a remastered game.

It sounds like you think that Super Mario Odyssey releases in December.

Go glass all the way. I have tried both and glass is not only easier to apply, but the screen protector itself is more durable and scratch resistant. It is nothing to get small scratches on a plastic one, it still does its job and keeps the screen unscratched.

However a glass one is better to look at and mine has yet to get a single scratch on it.

Also keep in mind that touch screen functionality is not hindered by either option. I got a two pack of glass ones for 10 bucks. In this case a little extra goes a long way in my opinion.
