| Kai_Mao said: My questions on a Switch Pro, or whatever is equivalent, are: - How much is it gonna cost? I don't know if enhanced tech (+ the features the Switch already has) would lead to a $300 price point..Not sure what would be Nintendo's mindset with a "Pro." When it came with the OG Switch, Kimishima stated that they were not going to sell the Switch at a loss. How much would a "Pro" cost with enhanced power and a battery that can manage 2-6 hours of gameplay like in BotW? - Would a "Pro" affect the 61+ million (and counting) users of the OG Switch/Switch Lite? Not sure if exclusive games on a "Pro" would do well. Would be great to see FFVIIR, RE2R, and the like on Switch, but not sure if having them "Pro" only would be a wise decision if it means alienating the ones who have the regular Switch and do not plan to upgrade (especially due to the economic issues we have right now d/t COVID). |
It's Nintendo. Likely a small performance boost or a new 3DS boost. A smaller version of the same chip can give a little extra performance and better battery life. Maybe some faster or more ram. Maybe 6-8GB and/or nearly double to the speed to something like 45-50GB per second. Likely the same price at $300 and they phase out the old Switch as they did with 3DS and DS before that. If they give it a name it will be something like New Nintendo Switch. LIkely won't affect anything in terms of what has been sold as it will be the same SOC just smaller. Switch lite prob remains mostly the same as it is now. I don't think we will see exclusive games on the New Switch but games that will take advantage of it's updated hardware to run nicer but will still have to run on older Switch systems, just not as solid.
