Why bother? Sigh.. Nintendo..
I get to play Mario.

That’s very true. There’s no incentive for the people who play on TV screens to purchase one since there’s no power increase.If you prefer playing on your TV I'd say there's no difference. Otherwise be prepared to deal with the same very disappointing (lack off) ergonomics and hardware issues like stick drift and lack of a real dpad.
I don't get it; sure an OLED screen is awesome but the same fundamental issues that are the most if not only prevalent when you're playing handheld still remain... And yet and OLED version is only appetizing to those that play handheld only, or rather most of the time..

I’m pretty hyped for it and I even sold my launch switch to put down my pre order.
Curse you for giving me hope that it was in stock!Amazon pre order rank tells me El Floppo
Not yet, but go ahead and pre-order anytime you want for day 1 release.Curse you for giving me hope that it was in stock!
Lol. More like out of touch from the reality.It is.
My point is ... when this upgrade applies solely to those that play their Switch in handheld mode, doesn't that demographic henceforth realise they're still having to deal with an objectively bad ergonomic design and fundamental hardware related issues such as joycon drift and lack of a worthwhile d-pad?
I'm not the only one that thinks this right?
Where? No preorders at Amazon/Best Buy/Target/Walmart/GameStop.Not yet, but go ahead and pre-order anytime you want for day 1 release.
If you play it in handheld mode for a substantial period of time, having a way better screen, better sound and more memory are all big positives. Particularly the the first two.Who cares?
It's still a Switch sale.
If I didn't have a Switch and was out to buy one now I'll just get whatever's the latest version in the market. It's not like I'm buying it because it's OLED. I'm buying because it's Switch. I'm not going to buy older versions when a new one is out.
Maybe some others will buy whatever's cheaper since they all function the same.
It doesn't do anything different.
True, the Switch is on pace to being Nintendo's most successful console ever. I mostly meant media outlets and hands on people to promote the hell out of Steam Deck to get the suits at Nintendo's attention
Like "Oh, look at that, maybe we should make more powerful hardware". Because we all know Nintendo lives under rock and hopefully Valve just inspire them to make a more powerful Switch in the near future
amazon uk have them as of right now but no idea how long till this batch of preorder stock will last till is snapped upCurse you for giving me hope that it was in stock!
Thank you! I didn’t think about getting it from another country. Much appreciated!amazon uk have them as of right now but no idea how long till this batch of preorder stock will last till is snapped up
You’re not crazy, it’s a pretty stupid upgrade. But saying hey we have Oled sells more than we fixed our shit.It is.

It could very well replace the standard Switch but I doubt it will be until a time where they're willing to drop the OLED to the same pricepoint as the standard Switch, which seems like a long ways off with the way the platform as a whole is selling.I have this theory that maybe the Oled model will replace the standard Switch.
I raised this theory on another outlet, and they almost raked me over the coals for it.
But maybe Nintendo was looking for a way to raise the price of the regular Switch, because of the semi-conductor crisis. And the Oled model is the result. Is this possible or am I completely mistaken?
What you wrote applies to original Switch and partially for Switch lite too, yet sales had been maintaining for 25m+ every year on average. It doesn't matter, yet now Switch OLED is suddenly affected?Go on..

The OLED impression from media had been booming particularly for the handheld crowd. While the resolution didn't change, the OLED screen really do make a difference similar to Samsung's OLED vs generic android phones's LCD, even casuals could notice the difference. An extra $50 doesn't seem that unfeasible anymore.
Switch is also a personal console in some cases, with one household possibly having multiple Switch devices at home. Old Switches usually will be given to the others while a new is bought, which in this case would be Switch OLED for this year
"Realize" your own post.How does this relate to my post in any way?

I think they will sell as many as they can make. Question is how many can they make?
I don't know. The only thing left for me is SMTV. Maybe Advance Wars and Metroid Dread but those are big maybes. Still no word on Metroid Prime remakes and MP4.It doesn't matter: it'll fail to sustain or relaunch Switch growth.
Nintendo dropped the ball so hard on this one, but there's also the more important question of games: besides BoTW 1.5, what else is to releasing on Switch nowadays?
Yes, some people actually think or hope this wont sell well, just because their wet dream of a Switch pro never came true.It’s gonna flop because consumers are angry we didn’t get the true Switch Pro
Not sure what you are looking at a the console is unavailable on both Amazon.com and Amazon U.K.Amazon pre order rank tells me El Floppo
First party wise Nintendo seems to have recovered from the pandemic and they have a good number and variety of games coming for the rest of 2021 and into 2022.It doesn't matter: it'll fail to sustain or relaunch Switch growth.
