Darwinianevolution said: Makes sense. Until the sales of the Switch don't start to drop below certain levels, there's no reason to add more models. I wonder which peripherals are they talking about. A headset with official voicechat support? Labo? The Vitality Sensor?... |
Labo is one example mentioned in article, there will definatly be some controls peripherals/addons, also this is very intresting "could also include additional network-related features and peripherals to be attached to its USB Type-C port"
flashfire926 said: Yes, awesome news. The switch should always stay a hybrid. No Switch mini or xl or anything should happen. It will only over complicate things. For people who are clamoring for a smaller sized, more portable experience, or budget handheld for the kids, the 3DS is for you. And once the 3DS gets discontinued, the Switch will already be budget enough for kids. No need for a portable-only "switch". News ways to play and more peripherals are the way to go. |
This article talks only about this years plans, not that Nintendo dont plans any Switch revisions, Mini or XL, offcourse that we will have some kind of Switch revisions in future. There is nothing complicated about wider offer of Switch platform.
3DS has price point from $80 to $200 and probably will be discounted in around year, there is no way that Switch will have price point below $250 in around year, not to mention, lower price point like $150.
No there is no need for portable-only Switch, but its smart to offer wider offer and lower price point for Switch platform (look at 3DS price point example) instead having only one Switch hardware.
