It will be very interesting to see the impact of the OLED model in Japan. In spite of claims that they "only care about handhelds" the country currently prefers the more expensive base model over the Lite, so will a premium hybrid catch their fancy, or will they continue to prefer its 2017 sibling?

Is 2019 when Nintendo started shipping the Switch with the more efficient 16nm chip instead of the 20nm 2017 original. The Switch lite also uses that chip.

yeah. which is the point that a lot of people forget, while its bigger the V2 switch has more battery life then the switch lite, and battery life is like the biggest concern when considering portble devices. and the OLED might have around 30 mins more on average, maybe even more on darker games like metroid.

and at any rate, OLED is a good option for new buyers or ppl who bought V1 but wants more battery life, though i'm still personally holding out for a pro, most more relible sources cited 2022 as the realese date at the earliest for it anyway.

reminder that the date difference between the 3dsXL and n3ds is only 2 years(2012, 2014), AND the 2DS came out between the two. what I'm seeing is that the OLED is basically base switch V3, and i fully expect them to drop its price back to 300 as they drop the V2 version.

hell, my personal expectation is the pro coming out on the switch's 6 year anniversay at spring 2023, with them cleaning out stock of the lite and the v2 in 2022 with a price drop.
