I'm sorry but... What's the point of the vetting processes and whatnot if the supposed insiders have no repercussions over spreading wrong information and misleading users? It's an honest and very fair question.
If it tanks, at least I'll be able to buy one.Dumb move. This model will tank. Everyone who already owns a switch is holding out for better specs…not an OLED screen. I'll keep my launch switch until the "pro" model is released.
Pretty clear that this OLED screen is going to come with the "pro" model and it's not financially sensible/viable to produce two different screens, so they've announced this as a "new Switch" for a sales bump alongside the old when in fact it's just going to become the base Switch in time. There's no way they're still going to manufacture the base Switch alongside this one.
ResetEra is a forum where people discuss games, it's a hobby my friend.
That's not an advertised feature, so I wouldn't assume that you can (sadly). Supporting Bluetooth isn't the same as supporting Bluetooth audio.i may just jump in on this! i see the specs mention bluetooth... if i could finally connect a pair of bluetooth headphones to the switch, i would be a happy duck!
The problem is Bloomberg reported on it having the power to do 4k graphics in addition to OLED.
I agree. If it was only natedrake and the likes that would have been one thing, but when professional journalists and respected outlets joins the switch pro bandwagon it's inevitable that people believe it.No, this is absolutely false.
While there is a discussion to be had about insiders on this forum, saying "this wouldn't have happened if ResetEra didn't give the okay to insiders" is simply not true. Bloomberg reported on this. Bloomberg. We then had respected journalists in the industry like Jason Schreier and Imran Khan putting out messages that hinted at games looking "too good" for the current Switch.
This goes beyond someone like NateDrake on Era. These "4K Switch Pro" rumors were being reported by mainstream outlets and discussed on gaming podcasts. This would still be happening even if Era banned forum insiders completely.
We'll thankfully they're not leading in anything, otherwise we'd be truly fucked.1080P output, Lan port and 64GB
Wow, Nintendo brings 2012 features to us in 2021
I don't know how the industry would be like without their industry leadership
i mean, the reasoning behind this model is likely:
- they got a good deal on these OLED screens, maybe even cheaper than the ones in regular switches
- allows them to permanently replace the regular switch with a model that costs the consumer more and justify the price increase with OLED + some smaller upgrades that don't cost them much (ethernet, better speakers, more storage)
Do you have a link for that thread? I have to believe there's more to it than that, like they intentional misled or did something beyond just making a rumor thread.People have gotten banned for making a rumour thread before and then having that rumour be wrong.
.Well at least I don't have to stress about preordering anything
Exactly this. This isn't an upgrade. It's a streamlining in the manufacturing process disguised as one. The "pro" is still coming, just not now.i mean, the reasoning behind this model is likely:

Woof.
People take shit too seriously.
Bloomberg was talking about this. Should we ban Bloomberg now too?
Yep.You can't possibly be serious ? Repercussions ?

If you are genuinely struggling this much with it and it's affecting your vision and blurring it i believe you have bigger problems than insiders not getting repercussions.
There has never been and there will never be a single source of leaks that will be 100% correct. In part because things sometimes don't pan out, but more often than not information comes from sources that have gotten their information from other sources themselves. Add to that the fact that sometimes it can be done in different languages and the information could be slightly different when it comes out.
No insider will reveal where they are getting their information from or else they would be doing potential damage to their sources.
Since when did anyone mislead users? All infos we had about this switch from era insiders were RUMORS. No leaks. They always said take it with a grain of salt. We got the supposedly misleading infos from Bloomberg Reports (in addition of some other outlets) which basically said a pro annoucement with 4k + dlss is immidient. What can era do about that if a more credible source comes along and insiders here try to make sense with their own information? Is it right to call out Insiders afterwards? I think no.I'm sorry but... What's the point of the vetting processes and whatnot if the supposed insiders have no repercussions over spreading wrong information and misleading users? It's an honest and very fair question.
Don't forget the LAN port...Wait so this is literally the exact same Switch just a better screen? LOL
They kept making the comparatively ancient DS lite alongside the DSi for, like, years. And people kept on buying it.Pretty clear that this OLED screen is going to come with the "pro" model and it's not financially sensible/viable to produce two different screens, so they've announced this as a "new Switch" for a sales bump alongside the old when in fact it's just going to become the base Switch in time.

Yes because of lower pixel density. If the OLED screen itself outweigh this downside is probably up to the individual.Won't games technically look worse at the same resolution but on a bigger screen?
The DSi was a proper upgrade though. This is clearly intended to replace the current Switch.
