It can't be thicker as it needs to retain compatibility with the Joy-Cons. But i've noticed that in the trailer it does seems a little thicker. Might be imagination.

Anyway, welcome to another quintessential "Goddamnit, Nintendo!" incident, I guess.
This is one for the ages, lol.

I agree. If there is a DLSS switch coming down the pipeline I couldn't see them pricing it lower than $450 given this OLED model's pricing.
I kinda doubt that'll be the case with Bloomberg which I assume will have to release an article clarifying what happened to some extent.
Doing a Star Fox Grand Prix with a hardware model is quite a bit harder as you need to get NVIDIA along for the ride, since we have information about a mobile chip for a Pro device actually existing from people with sources inside NVIDIA. Nintendo are good, but I doubt they can fake a hardware chip as easily as they can a game.
Maybe the real Pro are the friends (and lurkers) we made along the way
True, and I would bet something else is in the pipeline. Question is if it's just a successor model or some other revision. I'm suspecting more of the former at this point.
that's what I'm curious about. wonder if Kopite7Kimi will comment on this
Silently dropping a trailer on a Tuesday is not what I'd call promoting.
The longer i think about it, the more ... fucked up the pricing seems.
The switch base design (API/OS, Joy cons, docking) is 4 years old.
The chips are 2 years old and are refreshes of ...5 or 6 year old designs.
And what does the price say?
50$ more, thats an 17% price increase.Two of those features (bettter kickstand, wired network)
can be added to the base for 15-25$ of of amazon...
This just screams greedy to me

Didn't Nate say before he hadn't heard the new SOC being taped out yet or something like that? If the chip is still being in development...
Still, how long can Nintendo stretch the usage of the original TX1? They dragged out the Wii and that bit them hard.

Laughable if that's the case. 4.5 years later and we get a slightly better battery and a low quality OLED screen.
I have no idea what they're doing.

Do we have any further information about the specs of the OLED panel?
That's what they already were doing with DS and 3DS, right?
I feel so stupid. I should've caught on something was very wrong when no announcement was made prior to E3 despite sources saying it was 'imminent' due to game announcements that were pro enhanced/exclusive.
This goes beyond the 'plans changed' excuse because you don't just change hardware plans on such short notice. I'm absolutely shocked that Bloomberg seemed to have been conned by seemingly false info.
dont forget the 32GB more storage and 50$ price increase....
yeah, laughable.
Not all price increments are created equal. The higher the price to start with, the more significant each additional dollar needs to be in perceived consumer value. You can't just translate what Nintendo "thinks $50 is worth" from this model to a more expensive one, for them it's about production cost and successful marketing, not being consistent.
That said, the price is part of why I've said I don't expect the revision (if it exists) to do anything fancy in terms of storage, RAM, etc. That way the new chip is pretty much solely responsible for whatever price increase there needs to be.
Its a heavily produced Comercial trailer, with game fotage from games anouced at E3. This was never planed for befor E3, this takes weeks to prepare. It was probably being cut before and during E3, thats why some expected it to drop then, not thinking that such productions need way more time.
Maybe the new Nvidia chip is for the upcoming not-yet-revealed Sega Game Gear 2 💡
exact same thickness as current switch, full specs are on the UK site (theres a tab for front/back...its in the back part): https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Nintendo...del-/Nintendo-Switch-OLED-model--2000984.html
So it's just a Oled version of v2 and with 64GB storage and a few tweaks here and there and for $49 more? Seems a bit excessive when costs for the Switch have gone down
Very disappointed but I guess the next Switch will come out 2023 then.
Oh well my Switch battery is bad but I will upgrade to this

There have been some pessimistic guesses in this thread, but Nintendo has released a product that is even worse than those guesses.
This crappy product will cost $349.
It turns out that if you try to make a DLSSwitch like the one discussed in this thread, Nintendo will demand a ridiculous amount of money. 500? 600? sigh.

Hmm, must be the color scheme then.
Any specs on the dock? Can the new LAN dock be used by the non-OLED Switch?

enthusiast forum vs mass market audience does that. just look at Pokemon here vs outside the bubble
Interestingly, Digital Foundry were exactly right about it
They were saying that all indications based on firmware sourcing was that it was just going to be similar to the 3DS model upgrades, where the specs were hte same but you'd get a larger screen.

The majority of people didn't seem to believe in the pro outside of Era so they don't have much to be disappointed by haha.
I was afraid of something like this...
The rumbling about 4k, orin and so on is probably about switch succ... An iterative upgrade, maybe next year...

7" Oled screen, 64GB, enhanced sound, better stand, ethernet port, I would said thats are solid improvments for $50 difference,
also $50 price difference makes most sense compared to regular model, $319 or $329 would be little weird.
Actually costs of chips are up from Covid start.
This is an enthusiast forum. For the main market, this thing just being a Switch XL with OLED bears no problem.
Selling a lot of Switches. Remember you are living in a bubble and the average buyer doesn't care about all the specs. It plays games it does it work.
