Dude, they're literally suggesting the exact opposite in their article, saying it'll most likely be LCD...
Yup. Most likely so they can release an OLED version with a higher price tag just like what we have now.
Where on earth have they said that? I know they've said repeatedly that the Switch is still in the middle of it's lifecycle or that a Switch successor isn't coming in such and such fiscal year, but next gen R&D typically begins almost immediately after the launch of new hardware. Of course it's in development, even if this rumor is complete balogna.
The galaxy brain move though would be having two SKUs at launch, both with identical specs, but with the screen quality (LCD and OLED) being the differentiator.
I have 1tb of storage on my switch, and the 512gb are cheap.
1) I suppose "in development" can be interpreted in so many ways that it'd be hard to definitely call it lying
PS4 levels of data. A single COD which Activision promised or NBA2K will eat that 100gb easily.
I understand. My PS4 Pro has 1TB as well. XBX and PS5 can have additional storage as well. I don’t care that it’s cheap. I care that I have to spend MORE just to have access to something that are baseline stuff for everybody else.
When did Nintendo say a new console wasn't in development?
I agree but we don't know the type of storage on the next switch, but it's definitely going to be more expensive than the hdd on the ps4. For example SD cards are like $50 for 512 but when you buy a tb it goes up to $120-$200
When did they ever say that? Unless the company is planning on going out of business, a new console is always in development.
Every new console since ever starts development not long as the older one gets launched, so it's normal
“At least” != onlyOnly 100gb?
So still small games
First party game sizes will increase as Nintendo starts using higher fidelity assets to suit higher res outputs. Even if this weren't the case though, if they want to court huge casual games like CoD, they're going to need more storage. 100GB wouldn't be the end of the world, but I'd hope to see them do better since the internal memory almost certainly won't be upgradeable.
Look, I don't know why you keep mentioning TotK because that game is irrelevant to this. TotK is effectively BC for a new Nintendo hardware. The standards in which we base on the Switch doesn't apply to this hardware anymore. Obviously it is speculation but one thing that is constant for every succeeding gen even for Nintendo is that game file sizes increases. PS3/X360/Wii file sizes are not comparable to the Wii U/XBO/PS4 gen and so on. Being a handheld doesn't make you immune to this as shown by GB to GBC to GBA to DS to 3DS. Again, the constant is file sizes become larger.
Wii to Wii U was a generational leap, just not a very good one. GC to Wii though was only a 2x leap, hardware-wise.
