Yes, the Switch OLED has other features but I don't think internal storage and ethernet port really push people from "not buying" into the "totally buying this" camp in a big way. I think actually the OLED in general is a decision people make after they've decided they want a Switch. They get to the in store display or get explained the difference and in some cases "hey might as well spend the extra $50 for the better screen", side by side the OLED screen definitely is going to look better than the OG Switch screen when you see it in a store. It's hard to know what ultimate impact the DSi XL and New 3DS models had, there could have been higher hardware decline without them. But ultimately yeah they're probably not in and of themselves massive hardware drivers, Nintendo didn't really even market or use the improved hardware for much in either case. |
I don't think the OLED helped new comers to buy a Switch, rather having the ones with the 2017 model to upgrade to a newer version. Like the PS4 Pro, which sold 1/5 of the Slim.
