Five years after its release, the Nintendo Switch just became the fourth best-selling game console of all time, surpassing the PS4 in cumulative sales.
So, with such exciting results, how is the new console doing?
In this regard, Digital Foundry, which has always been good at analyzing the quality of games, made the latest news, underlining that Nintendo had seriously considered the Switch Pro console as a medium-term update, but now that won’t happen.
Editor John Linneman has revealed that Nintendo’s next step will be true next-gen hardware, and time won’t select in 2023.
In other words, Switch Pro has been cancelled, and what Nintendo is seriously preparing for is “Switch 2”.
It is also interesting that Nintendo has a “boom and bust” model: after NGC performed poorly, they sold 100 million Wii units, after which WiiU became one of Nintendo’s best-selling consoles. Now Switch has brought Nintendo back to the top and I fear it will go back to failure again.
It is understood that the main wafer on the current OLED Switch is still Tegra X1 with 4-core A57 + A53 4-core architecture, 16nm process, and there is a lot of room for upgrades.
