No, it's more like a Wii U owner saying, "I'm happy Nintendo is not releasing a Wii U-zii (my name for the Wii U Pro) so that I don't have to overcome another hardware barrier to get to Wii U games that either run a little better or are exclusive to it! I would rather spend that money on the Switch and feel happier that I'm getting a true generational upgrade rather than paying hundreds of dollars for a slightly better processor and more RAM!" This quote sums it up best: mZuzek said:
Personally I like this better than a Switch Pro. It's got next to nothing in terms of selling points for those who already own a Switch, which means I won't ever feel obligated to buying one. If we had a proper mid-gen upgrade, it'd likely result in games being poorly optimized for the base console and eventually running like shit. To be fair, they kinda already run like shit, but it'd be worse.
Not everyone has the money to go spending around in fancy new consoles all the time. I don't want my current Switch to be made obsolete by an enhanced version because I don't have $400 lying around and even if I had, I'd rather spend it elsewhere. Never liked the idea of mid-gen upgrades to begin with, really.
Just hope Nintendo's next-gen console is a proper, no gimmicks Switch 2, and that it is a significant improvement not only in specs, but also OS, online, features in general, and product quality. And with enhanced backwards compatibility of course. |

I think I get it. Makes more sense now. But I don't think Switch 2 is close though, I think it's still very far away |
I think that this new model means that a Switch 1.5 is not going to be a thing, so a Switch 2 is closer rather than farther. That's why I originally said 2+ years. Honestly, I'm fine with Switch 2 being about three or so years away. Even if I sold or got rid of all my games for every other console in existence and went with only the Switch, there are more than enough games on it for me to ever get tired of. I'm not a graphics/hardware elitist either, so I see it as the further off the Switch 2 is, the more likely it is that Nintendo can get specs in the ballpark of Sony/MS consoles at a reasonable price point, ready an awesome launch lineup, and iron out any first console iteration problems that may arise from rushing it out of the door.
