| KBG29 said: I would be down with it, but I don't think it would work with most core gamers, and the casual audience. Core gamers would be pissed of that the first model buyers are getting screwed over (their eyes, not mine). While the casual market would be completely confused as to what works where (WiiU sitation). I think they have to do a Switch Pro/+ or whatever, but it should still be tied to the Switch 1. Bring it out next year, and let it ride out 2 or 3 years. Then I think would be the time to bring out a Switch 2, that is capable of bringing PS5/XB4 level 3rd party titles to the system. With Solid State Batteries and Solid State Storage both dramatically shifting the possabilities in Mobile device over the next few years, I think that taking advantage of them with a Switch 2 is the best course of action. With it being Switch '2', it is very easy to understand that all Switch Games work on Switch 2, but Switch 2 games don't work on Switch 1. |
SSD's are expensive..... look a the Switch it comes with 32GB of Flash storage (something tiny and really cheap).
Theres a reason the PS4 & XB1 dont ship with SSDs (or Solid state storage as you call it), its too expensive pr GB (and games keep getting bigger and bigger).
Solid State Batteries,.... the main point isnt that they store much more battery (its like 1.5x or 2x only), its just that they charge alot faster.
You would still need to carry around a MASSIVELY big switch (to house a big battery & cooling) if you wanted a device that be PS4 performance in handheld mode.
So basically you want this in a new Switch Pro:
1. SSD (extremly expensive storage solution)
2. Faster Chargeing batteries
That seems possible to me, if your going to make a more expensive Switch model, but it ll probably not be any faster just because you add those things in.
