DLSS can't work in the dock due to potential latency penalties
Too much smoke for a Pro not to be real (or we're looking a a bigger scuttlebutt than Star Fox Racing). Aula, at best, is a prettier screen revision. At worse, something they thought about but abandoned liked the docked only switch
Lol. Would it be like the 32x or the SegaCD? I really don't expect '90's Tom Kalinske Sega out of Nintendo. #ablackfalcon
That would be like ps4 pro and ps5 releasing within the same 12 months that doesn't sound right at all
It is semantic... Nintendo is always careful before introducing a new hardware ... replacement or not that is the question
Exactly. The idea that Pro is is a confusing shorthand that either means somewhat more capable vs way more capable bugs me too.
I do believe it'll be announced the coming FY. The plan was to release this year, but I suspect it'll be delayed into 2022. Delays can, and will, continue to be an every changing variable in figuring out when we'll hear about it and see it.
Why do people still think they're going to have a dock with HW in it?
Devkits are already out. Manufacturing is scheduled for June. There is no way it is a Fall 2022 release.
Yea 2-3 million is more than enough to launch a new system esp since it's not the only switch for sell, people will also have a switch and switch lite to choose from. Even 1 million switch pros might be enough
We are at 4 years ... the revision/pro/successor will arrive at 5 ... when they say switch is at the middle of the lifespan... means that Nintendo's could release a new hard and continue to support both hard for three years for the OG ( ie: ps4 to ps5... lots of exemple ).
That was in the Aula speculation I think. A chip in the dock for 4K upscaling. I think Thractor made a few posts on the subject that made a lot of sense to me.
How would the dock handle upscaling with the OG Switch? The only port it has to connect them is USB-C which I'm pretty sure I've read in some posts in here, wouldn't have the bandwidth required

I agree.
At this point there's just not enough out there from the right sources that make me believe anything.
Add to that the history Nintendo have, and even the Presidents recent comments about finding new ways to play, that I find it hard to believe a new console will be arriving that increases power to the levels some people are saying.
I mean I've seen some people saying Breath of the wild and the sequel will be 60fps etc.
If I was betting on a performance increase I'd expect games like breath of the wild to be a solid 30fps at a slightly higher resolution, or games like Bowsers fury being locked 60fps docked as opposed to the frame rate drops we have now.
I can believe the screen aspect though, it would make sense for Nintendo to source a cheaper screen with the added benefit of being larger. While oled has clear advantages being a self emissive technology I don't think Nintendo would go Oled to satisfy enthusiasts wanting better black levels lol.
You mention eurogamer, and it's interesting going back in time.
In July 2016 they stated:
Nintendo NX is a portable console with detachable controllers
Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confi…
Setting aside everything else, your expectation is that the gap between announcement and release is at the shortest 3 quarters? (Q1 2022 announcement-Q4 2022 launch)
Right. That's pretty much what I expect. I think the roll of Switch 2/Pro/Advance/64/Super/Color/Lite/i/Cube/U games that won't also run on the original Switch will ramp up over time. I expect almost all games that aren't AAA demanding to work on both for quite a time to come.
I meant to say the revision (aula model). It's hard to find fitting names for these but the older models will probably be replaced by a new Switch model with a oled screen and 4k dock and next to that there will be a higher priced pro model with a bigger oled screen and more horsepower and premium materials. Like the Ipad of the Switch family.
I disagree with the idea of a model with more horsepower alongside the normal unless it's the same as the regular model, but with cooling to support docked clocks. Burn the battery, I want 60fps.
Not a tool engineer but I did find a listing for a UX designer for a game console posting from nvidia about one month before switch was first shown
By this FY you guys means the current one 20/21 ending in 3 weeks? Because that could cause some confusion for the unaware.
Certainly that's one example. Another that one could point to would be the New 3DS releasing in Japan within 2 months of announcement. Not that I'm really going anywhere with this...
That is certainly interesting, and the game console surely only relates to Nintendo.

How many other vendors are there that make 720p OLED screens? Honest question, I have no idea.
there are many suppliers for oled panels now. LG Display and Samsung Display are just the two largest ones. Foxconn/Sharp also makes them. resolution is somewhat arbitrary
