Anyone remember the GPA SP "new brighter screen" model Nintendo touted? They just upgraded the SP screen but now imagine if they charged $50 extra. Really dumb. If they had this new model at the same price as the old Switch and phased old models out that would be fine.

You mean the backlit version? Funny you brought that one up.

That one actually sold with a 10-15€ premium here depending on the store, so 109.95€ or 114.95€ instead of 99.95 for the non-backlit version. The 15€ premium was almost the same amount as the price increase on the Switch, yet brought much less to the table. The new Switch after all also comes with better audio, more internal storage, an actually usable kickstand and a better dock, not just a better screen like the new screen model of the GBA SP did.

There is the faint possibility that N will remove the basic Switch model in a few months and lower the price of the Switch OLED to $300.

Not just faint, i'm pretty sure they will do either that, or add some pack-in title instead of the pricedrop.
