It's been less than a week I think since the announcement? That means I can still celebrate the announcement right? Seriously, the fact that they are releasing such a small increase in features on their next iteration, and the fact that it doesn't have a "New" or "XL" or "Pro" tells me that Nintendo is serious about ending the Switch life and moving unto Switch 2 in 2023 (hopefully March, 6 years later). OLED Switch is very much in line with what their previous final iterations did on older devices, so we should also expect Switch 2 to come out after the typical window (which is roughly 2 years after final iteration of any device). If we got what so many wanted (some 4k Pro, a way more powerful upgrade than Nintendo normally would do), we'd all be ticked off that in 2023 and probably 2024 we are all playing on mostly 2017 technology. Let their "pro" be a slight upgrade for new buyers and the people that always want the best of the best so that we can ALL get a PROPER next gen Nintendo device in 2023 and not 1 or 2 years after.
There is no way Nintendo would have made the Pro so many wanted and not kept it out for 3-4 years as the way to play its games. It would have been way too expensive to build, and all the developers taking advantage of its tech would have not made enough sales off of the limited amount of Switch Pros that would have sold had it only been on the market for 2 years. We'd all be miserable in 2 years time if some of you got what you wanted. Forget the Switch Pro, all about the Switch 2!
