On February 20, at an internal meeting of Nintendo, President Shuntaro Furukawa said:
This is the fifth year since the release of the Nintendo Switch, and we recognize that the console is at the midpoint of its lifecycle, and the NS has great sales momentum in the new year. The Switch is poised to break the pattern of our past six years of console launch that weakened momentum and achieve further growth.
As a result, the much-awaited Switch Pro (tentative name) is difficult to list in a short period of time. Last year, the new Switch OLED model had a big breakthrough in screen quality, using Samsung's 720P OLED screen, although it is a 7-inch OLED screen, but because it uses Samsung's RGB-like arrangement, the equivalent PPI does not have much attenuation. In addition, the OLED screen can not do a non-full fit, so the display effect of this screen of Switch OLED is much better than before.
But the rest has not changed much, basically only updated the base. The output is still a crotch-pulling 900P, and the resolution when connecting to the TV is not clear enough.
In the meantime, rumors spread that Nintendo is going to launch the Switch Pro this year, which can output 4K image quality, upgrade the screen to 1080P, and is likely to be launched with the sequel to Zelda's Breath of the Wild, which can promote both hardware and game sales.
In addition, in Nintendo's email to developers, it is clearly mentioned that they should be ready for the game to support 4K quality output. Moreover, Nvidia's customized chip for the Switch Pro is also planned, and it seems that Nintendo has completed the preparation of the Switch Pro. But the delay in launching Switch Pro is because The Switch has no real opponent.
The split game console is a very clever design, it can meet the player's gaming needs when moving, connect to the TV can also take the screen apart, and equipped with acceleration sensors, can track the user's hand movements, complete the type of dance power of this type of game.
Combined with accessories like Fitness Ring Adventure, it can also effectively help users achieve their sports goals. Excellent gameplay has allowed Switch to have a large number of fans worldwide. Since Nintendo has pointed out that the Switch is still in the middle of its life, consumers can really consider buying early and enjoying it early.
