    Im a 33 year old woman that hadn't played video games since I was a kid/early teens. I bought the switch this past thanksgiving because the oled looked really nice and the 350 price tag wasn't that much. So far I enjoy playing it occasionally. If the device is still selling really well I can see Nintendo making a very small upgrade so that people would still buy either the oled version or the new one. Nintendo probably doesn't want to cut their profits which is the same thing apple is doing by still making the iPad capable of using the old apple pencil and not just the new one.

    Backwards compatibility with 99% of the switch library is a must! This is probably causing some headaches and so Nintendo isn't ready just yet...nobody wants a Switch 2 or "new" Switch without being able to play their OG switch library already on it. So if it comes out that this ain't there it will be very shocking and won't go down well. So here's hoping they make the next gen switch more powerful but still compatible with what came before.

I called Amazon, and they apologized for delivering it at the wrong address and sent me another one. A few days after I got the new one, his wife came knocking on our door, apologizing, saying that Mac had taken the box inside and left it in the laundry room 🤣😂.

    I hope they drop some more powerful hardware in 2023, but I feel it’s a little unlikely from the standpoint that the OLED and regular Switch is still selling VERY well and we’re still seeing the effects of the chip shortage.
    A next gen also feels unlikely next year because Nintendo said they wanted an extended life cycle, the switch is doing really well (much better than Wii U) and loads of games are still going through times cycles like Splatoon with its 2 year splatfest cycles and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still coming out with DLC until the end of next year. So from that stand point it would feel weird to release a new generation next year or even the year after, unless these games are backwards compatible from the go.
    But, it would be great to see more powerful hardware as Nintendo’s developers, Platinum and Monolith soft are really pushing the Switch’s base hardware to the absolute maximum every time they make a game and it’d be amazing to see what they could do with some more powerful hardware for sure.

      they are just going to mitigate it from being a hybrid system to fully label it as a hand held only system with the functionality to connect to a tv. 3ds had a 9 year life span and the switch will see the same lifespan if not more. rather unfortunate as cool as the switches gimmick concept is, the performance is just freaking horrendous even back in 2017 immediately sold it after having it for 2 weeks. the 20-30fps was awful and the hand held body position only promotes bad posture and even further scoliosis

    Phew! I just bought an OLED switch and nearly had a mini heart attack thinking I’ve just wasted nearly £500 (1 game, 256gb memory card, console and 5 year insurance). However basically all you’re saying is that it’s getting dated and a newer console maybe coming out this year. I’ve been playing PS3 for the past couple of years after my PS4 basically bricked itself so I couldn’t give a rats about it being a up to date model. As long as I can play Borderlands 2 and TPS, some platform games, and maybe a couple of RPGs then I’m happy. Just unboxing it now, so as long as it’s only the fact that the console is a little dated, then it’s not really such an issue.

    Thank god the Steamdeck exists, because if it didn't they'd probably continue selling the switch for another 5 years lol. More realistically, I have seen videos where someone at Nintendo was talking about why the Wii and Wii U failed. Basically sales rise and rise through years 1-5 and peak, then fall off a cliff after ~6 years. This pattern repeats and it happened with the Wii, so if they aren't ready (like what happened with the Wii) they will be open to be pummeled by a competitor or just lose a ton of sales. I think they expect this timeline to extend this time because of the impact of Covid.

    The oled, like almost any console will hold up well a few years after the upgraded model drops (look at ps4 and 5). There is no stress and there is no reason to wait JUST so you can spend even more money on a switch whatever

  • @viridionwaves
    @viridionwaves Год назад +15

    The switch has an incredible library, so even if you come late to the game, it can still be worthwhile. Yes the switch successor will have better visuals, but I don't think it will be as much of a leap as people think. Also, Nintendo has stated before that the switch will have a longer than normal lifetime, and they also canceled the switch pro due to component shortages and cost which are still recovering from the covid pandemic.
    Currently, Nintendo has stated they expect an INCREASE in sales this year over last, and have upped production. We have also heard there seem to be no major titles hitting after Zelda TOFTK this summer, and Mario Kart DLC continues through the end of 2023. It's likely then that Nintendo will rely on switch sales through holiday 2023, and possibly one extra year. The switch successor probably won't release until spring 2024 at the earliest or spring 2025 if they push it. The only exception is if they pull a fast one and release the new system for holiday 2023, but that seems very unlikely because there have been no hardware or devkit rumors/leaks.
    I have one other prediction: Their increase in switch production likely means they plan on using current hardware in some form in conjunction with the switch successor, a la Wii U. It sounds like a terrible move but they always want to do something out of left field (despite that their best success came from iterating on the gameboy and ds lines).
    My biggest hope is that they don't screw this up. We don't need a huge gimmick, give us a switch 2 that's the same basic idea but more powerful, better visuals, and backwards compatible. God, please let it be so! Hopefully whatever gimmick they put on the switch two won't prevent those points from being there.
    Last thought: maybe they will have a dedicated home console and the switch will live on as a dedicated portable - so there'd be 3 versions of any game: portable, portable on tv, and home console. Guess we'll have to wait to find out. If you read this far, what do you think?

    Garbage advice and clickbait title.
    The ecosystem of new games for the switch is very alive, you're advising to not buy it, but instead to wait an unknown amount of time for the next switch, which wasn't even announced yet.
    The lifecycle of the Switch might even be 10 years considering its success, however, no one knows yet when the next will be on sale.
    Dude, life is short, many don't want to wait potentially years to play some games. And even then, when the new model comes out, it takes time for the good games to also come out.
    The rest of your points are equally garbage, Not buying it because Switch's processor is "getting old" is fairly ridiculous. Nintendo has never competed based on hardware specs, that's not how they so things.

  • @pixelmentia
    @pixelmentia Год назад +1

    There is zero indication that Nintendo's releasing a Switch 2 or Pro this year. Especially now that we've seen the leaked (and very likely real) Tears of the Kingdom OLED edition. There's no way they would release that alongside a Switch 2. Also, Nintendo doesn't just drop a console once they've announced one, so whenever that announcement comes you can expect it to come out quite a bit later. Wouldn't you rather be gaming during all this time? Especially Tears of the Kingdom?
    If you want a Switch OLED go ahead and buy one. If the Switch 2 suddenly drops out of nowhere, just sell your OLED towards it.

  • @Zelielz1

  • @HedgehogsAreVeryCool
    @HedgehogsAreVeryCool Год назад

    If you do the tiniest amount of internet “research” you will see that the president of Nintendo stated LAST YEAR, that the switch was only halfway through its lifecycle. This was last February . Switch was released March 2017. Ever since it came out they have stated that they do not want this to be a 6 year console, and they have not strayed from that stance. Therefore the Switch’s 10 year lifespan ends in 2027, 4 years from now. The switch Pro was scrapped and instead we got the switch OLED at the halfway point of the lifecycle. So it is actually the perfect time to buy the OLED.

    But they didn't have the money to do so at the time.
    Let me try this example....
    The ps4 came out....
    Then Sony brings out the ps4 PRO, a significantly (or slightly) more powerful version.... They all needed the jumping off point the get where they're going.
    Or they could have said "ya know we can make anything we want to and these idiots will buy it!"

    Next Nintendo will likely not be for two years. Zelda TOTK releases in a week. You cannot play that without a Switch. Scarlet/Violet just released. It's possible the next console will have a brand new Mario, and offer playability of these games. But I wonder if it will be fully backwards compatible as in capable of playing Switch games. Rather than offer updated versions for the new console. Steam deck sucks as much as Steam. PC is moving towards EGS and mainly XBL. I'm not paying for XBL, but I have hundreds and hundreds of hours on EGS over the past year. I have under a hundred on Steam only because it had exclusivity on Elden Ring.

    Sorry, but no. I thought so as well that Nintendo was bound to release a brand new version of the Switch somewhere soon, but after the reveal and launch of the Tears of the Kingdom OLED I'm doubting those thoughts. Tears of the Kingdom is probably the most hyped and wanted Nintendo game ever made, so I'd say they would've announced a brand new upgraded Switch had they planned one for this year. Now I feel that it might be somewhere between late 2024, maybe even mid 2025

  • @BlondieSL
    @BlondieSL Год назад

    I think that you are onto something here.
    I don't have a switch, only a Wii U as all I play is Mario Kart 8.
    I've had no reason to upgrade as yet, because I have no interest in other games at all (so not a "gamer" per say).
    But with Mario Kart 8 servers offline for "emergency" fixes and no ETA of when they'll be back on line OR even if they will ever come back, perhaps it's time to upgrade.
    But after listening to your logic and well prepared time-lines, it might be best to wait.
    If Nintendo is working (secretly) on a new Switch (or other name) console, for sure it will have a newer, fast processor and newer GPU. I wouldn't be surprised if it would have either 512Gig or 1TB storage.
