| Slarvax said: If people get confused by joycon sizes, then they might as well buy a Wii U Pro Controller for the Switch and wonder why it doesn't work. And that wouldn't stop Nintendo either way. Revisions will happen for multiple reasons. In a few years, there'll be more power/cost-efficient components for the system (screens, batteries, CPUs, GPUs), and there's no way Nintendo will ignore that. Heck, we already see it with Sony and MS home consoles constantly (PS4/3/2 slim, Xbox One S and whatever the 360 had). |
I get what you're saying. I think it's ridiculous to suggest that Nintendo won't make a Switch that takes advantages in advances in technology to create a "New Nintendo Switch" model that has a better battery life, or can play docked mode for a reasonable amount of time on battery power. I think it's a given that something like that will happen eventually. I mean, why wouldn't they?
I think what the OP is really trying to get at is that he doesn't think that Nintendo is going to mess with the dimensions of Joycons, nor exclude joycons, and I think there's a lot of merit to that. I think the joycons sets a limitation to what revisions or models Nintendo will release. I mean the device is called the "Switch" its fair to assume that any "Switch" is going to be able to "switch" between a home use and a portable use, and between. This to me, means that it is unlikely that Nintendo will release a model without detachable joycons, or require joycons of a different size.
A 3DS replacement on the other hand.... :) let's save that one for another time shall we?
