gamer model. will be interesting to see how much of an improvement it is.

Yeah they are too big. Especially how most phones today the screen goes really straight to the edge.

"Industry watchers expect sales for the Switch to begin declining soon. Analysts polled by Visible Alpha, a provider of market forecasts, anticipate on average that 17.9 million units of the Switch will be sold in the fiscal year ending this month, followed by 17.4 million in the following year."

Um, these "analysts" are idiots. There's no way, even if there isn't an updated Switch released this year, that the Switch will sell less next FY than in this one that's about to end. Not with the list of games coming out from June on this year. The Switch is already selling ~30% better in '19 than this point last year, with basically no big new games. The increase will only get more pronounced once the big games start releasing.

Why people in here is just assuming there will be a pro model, none of the article indicates or mentioned it will an enhanced version. Actually the article mentioned it will be a cheaper version . Thus i assume it will be a portable like previous report and rumor.

For me i would like to see a longer batteries and re allocation of mini usb port so the Switch can be charge while on standing modes. Pro mod is welcome but if it getting pro mod i hope there will be no exclusives games on pro mod and divide the market.

Edit: So i miss read, actually it said one will have an enhanced version but will not as powerful as Ps4 pro or Xbox One X. So indeed probably there will a pro model

I hope, with the mini version, they launch an official mini dock that works for all switch models.

Another week, another rumor. Don't they get tired of reposting same stuff?

That's why they are called analysts, because their forecasts are mostly based on ass pulls. It works because every big investor nonetheless listens to them anyway.

I think you’re absolutely right on this. Although, it is not likely that games will be given a pass if their performance on the Switch 1 model are too rough before a certain date. This is up to Nintendo. For example, ~2022 might mark a point where performance on the older model becomes less strict, but older models must be supported. Then  ~2024 is where Nintendo drops support for older models - which could still mean they will test software on older models to ensure it doesn’t cause any major bugs (like bricking or 100% crashes).

I’m in the same boat, if a new Switch does come out, I will either wait for generation 3 or a cheap sale of generation 2 down the road. Although better joycon tech (which I don’t expect, now) and better battery life would probably convince me to make the jump early.

As for Nvidia, they have the Xavier and Orin chipsets. I don’t know a great deal about these, or their dimensions and power requirements. Only that they are used for devices paired with cars. Custom versions of these (or one of these) are conceivably what could be used in the Switch 2 family. That would be a substantial upgrade.

The article says two new models, one will be stronger and more expensive than the other. It is likely similar to an iOS generation where they release two new model phones, one a stronger and more expensive version than the other.

I already edit my post . But it still unclear because they said "“You would be wrong to think the enhanced version is similar to what Sony did with PS4 Pro and the other is just a cheap alternative that looks very similar to some past hand-held machines, say, Sony’s PlayStation Vita,”
