I'd be willing to sell my day 1 Switch and pay the diff for this one, even though I only play docked and have no broadband and there doesn't appear to be any internal hardware upgrades.

Color is sweet, imo

Well, technically you do get more internal memory.

If someone already said this, I apologize for not reading all 20 pages, but I recently tweeted this and wanted to say it here, too:

Wait, are Nintendo apologists proud of NOT expecting a more powerful Switch? Is your bar set so low that you expect virtually nothing and think that's a WIN?!

Nintendo hasn't been about playing the graphics arms race in three generations, why would they start now? I am quite content with the power of my base Switch so I feel no need nor expectation for a midgen power upgrade.

OLED could easily be 300 USD and standard and Lite be lowered in price

Why on earth would any company in their right mind lower the price of a system that they can't even keep up with the demand for?

Some responses I've seen do confuse me since I don't get being glad this isn't more powerful or chastising people feeling disappointed. Considering how poorly certain Switch games run not having to wait a minimum another two years to play them with resolution and/or frame rates that aren't bad would've been really nice for a lot of people.

Well, just personally, the reason I'm glad it's not a power upgrade is because I don't want devs having to optimize for more configurations or targeting the Pro model to mean that games are worse optimized for the base Switch I own, or just skip the base model altogether.
