Expect a spec bump when the semiconductor crisis is over... Nintendo is the only one surviving through this crisis - MS, Sony, Nvidia, AMD are all getting fucked, not to mention car manufacturers.

But Nintendo seems to be able to get enough supply of these old chips that it made sense for them to put out a new model for people who primarily play handheld. Pass their old Switch down to someone else who will start buying their games, and keep rolling from there.

I'm seeing nothing but negativity for this model, but it's pretty brilliant considering the circumstances.

Next year when they are able to bring out a Switch Pro, I'd expect a spec bump with DLSS so it can output 4K and upres old games for no extra work at all. Should be identical to this new model otherwise.
