(Rumor) Nintendo discarded "Switch Pro"

I guess where I am confused is you claim it is a "need" because it would fit your "want."  I want it as well, and I agree with your perspective, but 'need' is simply the wrong verbiage.  Pokemon for you, based on want, is unplayable.  Meanwhile it is selling millions...  thus it doesn't 'need' anything.  We can want all day.  But a want doesn't equate to a need.  The Switch doesn't need an upgrade.  It is selling incredibly well as is the software.  I do think in a few years it will need an upgrade, because sales are dropping.  But for now, nah Nintendo is doing just fine and people can continue to want something Nintendo is not going to deliver.  

No. It's a need. The Switch needs better hardware to run games properly... Pokemon is the latest example.

Pokemon selling millions, doesn't mean it was not a technical failure on every front, I suggest you watch the digital foundry video on this... Better hardware would rectify the games technical shortcomings.


But if we are going to delve into this rhetoric... It could be argued that no one actually needs a gaming console when the PC exists.

Sales is actually irrelevant.

Runs fine.  My kids love it and haven't complained once.  The switch can't run pokemon to the level of your want.  This isn't that difficult. CLEARLY the average gamer doesn't care about technical performance, or the switch wouldn't be so successful.  Technical performance is a want by core gamers.  It isn't a need because the masses don't care.  

Could you imagine if I said all cars need 400 horsepower to go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and any car that doesn't is a technical failure?  And proceeded to play that off as a fact that everyone has to accept and agree too?
