Rumors of a Nintendo Switch Pro have been circulating for some time, and while they don’t have any concrete proof of its existence, Digital Foundry Direct Weekly is now reporting that citing several developers, Nintendo considered a Switch Pro but ended up being voted down and cancelled.
Medium editor John Linneman said, “From what I’ve heard talking to various developers, there was some kind of mid-term Switch upgrade plan, but that doesn’t seem to be happening anymore. So obviously, it doesn’t matter.” what (referring to Nintendo) Whatever you do next, it’s really going to be next-gen hardware, I don’t think it’s going to be 2023.”
Linneman speculates that Switch Pro was canceled in part because Nintendo feared another situation with Gamecube or Wii U, both of which sold poorly.
Nintendo first announced the Wii U plan in 2011. This is a home game console launched by Nintendo after the Wii. It is Nintendo’s first home game console to support 1080p. It also comes with 2GB of RAM, which is an improvement on the specs. . It fully met the needs of gamers who wanted hardware upgrades at the time. However, the sales volume of Wii U was only around 13.56 million. On January 31, 2017, Nintendo announced that it would officially discontinue Wii U worldwide, and Wii U became the third largest video game console shortest in Nintendo history (the second is Panasonic Q , the first was Virtual Boy).
According to the latest estimated console sales report from VGChartz, as of December 3, 2022, global sales of Nintendo Switch consoles have exceeded 118.2 million units. This also allowed the Switch to successfully surpass the Sony PS4’s 117.03 million units, taking fourth place in global console sales.
