Heh, all of those leakers took us on one hell of a ride. I don't think I can consider Bloomberg News a credible source anymore, at least not for gaming news.
However, this does look like the kind of mid-gen upgrade Nintendo always gives with their handhelds. They basically listen to feedback from customers and after a few years make some fine adjustments and maybe a couple of minor enhancements. A better stand, more internal storage, wired LAN capability...those are things that people have been commenting on since 2017. This is basically the Switch version of the new 3DS and not the Switch version of the PS4 Pro.
I will probably get one (or more) of these models at some point, but there is no rush. I like the ethernet port. I am assuming that I could get 8-12 people in the same room to play Mario Kart together, but I've never looked into trying such a thing.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
