| DarthMetalliCube said: I do think it's likely Nintendo to somewhat follow the trajectory of the GB line, given their parallels in handheld functionality and strong sales. Plus they've still yet to release a true Switch 1.5/Pro or whatever, as the OLED's improvements are fairly small and don't relate to the actual hardware. So I think we'd likely see the Switch Pro in 2024 or even 2025 as a stopgap that can help carry it a few more years. I really think Nintendo intends to stretch out the lifespan of the Switch a decade (which is possible as long as the library continues to be strong - there's already a flood of games on the console). So I think it's very possible we won't see Switch 2 until early 2027. |
Switch pro was canceled due to the pandemic and dev kits were sent back to Nintendo according to insiders. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2022/12/28/report-nintendo-cancelled-the-switch-pro-in-favor-of-the-switch-2/?sh=3f8a539c4e58
Don't count on it at this point. GB line never had to go through a pandemic.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
