The switch is a different animal than the 3ds. People aren’t clambering to play a grainy rear end game on a slightly larger screen. People want a Netflix machine that can conceivably play third party aaa titles with various effects unremoved and they want 4-5 hours battery.

For the life of me I can't figure out who these people are who don't have a way to watch Netflix

There's plenty of low-hanging hardware fruit to improve on the Switch that doesn't alter the platform for existing owners. Improved wireless performance, a gorilla glass screen, a non-poo poo kickstand, and a smaller bezel come to mind.

Maybe a 400 dollar switch can do a lot more than the 300 dollar one? Why is it impossible to think Manufacturers now see a market for Switch size chips that didn’t exist a few years ago? Phones aren’t handheld consoles, they have to be small, have long battery life, have high end screens and cameras and speakers. The switch doesn’t need most of what a phone offers and provides ample room for larger components.

In the end Nintendo is a disappointing company so it’s likely this update is just minor inconsequential poo poo no one asked for, but it could be more.

So you don't know how anything at all works, huh?

None of us knows how this will work but considering even a minor refresh was seen as “stupid and unlikely” I’m feeling pretty smart right about now. And knowing Nintendo I wouldn’t expect a cheaper version of an updated model but it could happen.

Who thought this thing wasn't going to start getting hardware revisions a after a couple of years on the market like literally every other Nintendo handheld?

News flash to you people who want gorilla glass: a plastic screen is actually better, and $1000 phones should have them as the base layer too. Why? Because as soon as you put a glass screen protector over it you have the best of both worlds, and if you drop and crack the screen you just put a new glass screen protector on and you're good as new. But of course, phone manufactures want you to break it and buy a new one. In a perfect world phones would have a plastic layer and then a glass screen protector factory installed, with a couple spares included in the box. The way Nintendo does the Switch now is perfect because kids won't cut themselves and any adult with a brain getting a Switch for themselves gets a glass screen protector for $2 on eBay when they buy it.

Phone manufacturers don't need to do anything to "make" you buy a new phone as long as phone batteries keep hitting that 18-month wall regarding ability to hold a charge.

I got Lumines so my Switch is officially a bigass PSP.

In the Coming Soon section 2 things caught my eye - Project Highrise, the SimTower revival that my $40-for-Cities: Skylines rear end is an easy mark for, and a BattleZone revival. The BattleZone revival appears not to be a B98 revival, but rather original BattleZone. Looks neat and fun. Might get it.

One nice thing about YouTube on the Nintendo Switch Gaming And Media Consumption System is that unlike my phone or a traditional tablet there's places to grab it that don't obscure the screen. Nice for watching stuff in bed. Also the Purchased tab backdoors your Movies Anywhere digital copies of things, that's nice.

I hate my Switch. I love the console at its core and how much potential it had but bar BoTW, Mario Odyssey it has no big great games (even Mario Odyssey is questionable though) and it's already got a pretty good emulator.

It's a sad feeling it's like looking at that one crackhead heroin junkie who had straight A grades back in school but fell into an intense depression that ruined her life.

I really wish that a lot of excellent-but-unavailable games that hit XBLA back in the day were being re-released for the Switch. Ms Splosion Man reminded me of the following, which, as far as I know, you can't play anymore outside of XBLA (and maybe PSN, I don't know, didn't have a PS3):

Kingdom/World of Keflings
Raskulls
Ilo and Milo
Scott Pilgrim
Trials HD (though there are sequels, and the Switch needs one)
Age of Booty

This thread is the only place where "the $300 console-only SKU needs revision if they want to keep growing the install base" is a controversial statement. Those analysts aren't saying "Nintendo is doomed," they're saying the launch phase is over, the market for the $300 console-only SKU is about tapped out, and to make their own install base projections they need to make some kind of move. That's correct.

A $300 BoTW or Odyssey or MK8 bundle would open doors to a whole new set of buyers, and the Black Friday numbers bear that out.
