GBC was really the only time they committed to something of the sort and it became a successor of the GB even though they're the same platform classification, that said it's not far fetched for that approach to return again where we see a pro model Switch in future that's maybe base around X1 performance that is fully BC and becomes a pseudo successor in the same way GBC did."
To me, that sounds more true to the "Pro" model idea than the Gameboy Color. You said it yourself, the Gameboy Color was practically it's own platform, the same can not be said for the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. The New 3DS offers minimal upgrades over the original edition, just as the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X do. The only difference is that the upgrades in the New 3DS are even more minimal, but at least with your description, I feel Nintendo's recent standard of upgraded models actually falls more in line than what Gameboy Color did. Anyways, it's an interesting idea, but I don't really see why? Besides making more sales fall under the original Switch, but even then you called it a "successor". So would this basically just be a disappointing Switch 2, or just an upgraded version of Switch that's a bigger difference in terms of power than the N3DS and DSi? |
I personally found the N3DS upgrade to be huge, due to the vastly improved 3D effect.
