...........yay?

Distracted from a stupid match, that I got my facts wrong, there was a brightness sensor before.

You didn't explain why it's more expensive though. Clickbait title?

So you're saying that Nintendo could have given the Switch an OLED screen for the same price all along, but moving the brightness sensor from the face of the unit to the top was such a costly process (hundreds of millions into research and development) is what drives up the price?

I'm no hardware expert, so it checks out with me.

I'll tell you the real reason why it's more expensive.

I wouldn't be surprised if they release a Switch Pro next holiday for $400 and releasing Switch OLED this year at $350 could soften that blow. That could be a reason why it costs more than the regular Switch.

Whew! Glad to know I don't need to fork out more money for a mid-gen upgrade. This is completely skipable, but great for anyone who doesn't have a Switch yet.

nah. OLEDs are just more expensive man.
also screen is larger, and i belive the chassis and dock is metal now?

Just like $70 for first party titles or $10 for a patch other companies just update for free.
