Just got off the phone with my uncle who works at Nintendo (well more of an uncle-in-law; he's Japanese, and I'm not), he made me promise not to tell anyone that Nintendo plans to maintain the same profit margins when it inevitably does a price drop for the Switch in the future by stealthily removing the brightness sensor entirely. The nickel/dime they save per unit is roughly equal to the $50 that will be slashed from each model. |
They should have used the same Nintendo R&D guys that came up with the idea to duct tape two gamecubes together and call it the Wii, those guys would have stripped everything out of the old dock painted it white and sold it as a new lightweight version, while selling separately a cardboard box containing the hdmi- Lan - ac adaptor sockets as a premium upgrade with the option of an extra ten bucks getting you some Nintendo seal of quality double sided tape to attach it to your new lightweight dock. and those guys would have used a sticker for their brightness sensor that way with any upgrade they could easily replace it with another sticker picturing the latest sensor.
WARNING: removal of any stickers or use of unauthorised tape will void all the warranties.
