Ars Technica mentioned that Nintendo’s primary screen supplier, Japan Display Inc., made fewer Switch displays in 2017 than it did in 2016 leading up to launch, and this may be due to the company focusing more on OLED than LCD moving forward. If Nintendo has to shift to a different supplier, an upgraded LCD may be something Nintendo just happens to get from the new supplier rather than something it actively wanted to upgrade.
Additionally, Nintendo patched the Fusée Gelée exploit a few months ago. All previously released Switch units still have that exploit because it can only be patched on a hardware level. That said, it’d make sense for Nintendo to shift to a new Tegra chip possibly on a smaller manufacturing process to forgo that extra patching step. Nintendo could use a stock 16nm Tegra X2 to improve battery life and cooling without any performance improvements.
Point being, there are reasons for Nintendo to push out a subtler revision, not that it can’t also release a New/Pro model. I’ve never been great at hot takes or predictions. I’m merely choosing to be more cautious with how I view this report. And like I said before, I think Nintendo should focus on getting the price under $200 if it wants one Switch per person rather than per household.
