I keep telling ya'll Nintendo is the Apple of videogames, only because they can get away with almost anything when they do something and the fanboys still flock to it like a bunch of sheep.

I’ve been saying it for years. They did it with the ds. Every week a new fucking color or slight update came out. People jerking off Everytime they released the new color. Then the games are the same thing. Mario golfs this year and next year he’s gonna play tennis. Over and over

Price isn't based solely on the cost of manufacturing.
Nintendo sets the price they think it's worth (by whatever metric, it doesn't matter) and the public decides if the device is worth it.
And given that the OG Switch is basically printing money still at its original price, I can see why Nintendo set the price they did for the OLED version.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I don't believe for a second the 4K thing was ever true.
And I was consistent, I called that bullshit from day one. In order to include a 4K dock, Nintendo would have to come up with a third mode. For all games. It's overkill. There was no reason to believe that what so ever.

Apple designs the most advanced mobile processors in the world. They’re really not compatible.I keep telling ya'll Nintendo is the Apple of videogames, only because they can get away with almost anything when they do something and the fanboys still flock to it like a bunch of sheep.

Just because you don't understand the value doesn't mean other people are sheep. That's very disrespectful.I keep telling ya'll Nintendo is the Apple of videogames, only because they can get away with almost anything when they do something and the fanboys still flock to it like a bunch of sheep.

I can't wait to buy it and then the controllers get destroyed and then they release another OLED Switch with better performance. This is the Nintendo DS shit all over again.

Of course. If you actually thought a handleheld 4k device was coming from nintendo you are beyond delusional and have no idea how electronics work

Oh well, if Azelover didn't believe it for a second it must not be true! Lol
A third mode for upcoming games and a patch for aaa games? Big deal.

Can't wait for that new dock to scratch the hell out of that beautiful OLED.
Lol Nightmare 6 was crazy, not one of the best though. But this death was hilarious.

Google. Nintendo. I will let you check. It was in the official announcement trailer by the way.

I don't really get your point. It was officially announced by Nintendo, so what's your problem ? Nintendo Switch OLED will have improved audio capabilities, that's all there is to it.

That it is so generic to say that I cannot really use it to say anything about the value of the HW.

I don't care about the value of the hardware. I was initially answering to someone who had not listed ALL the improvements of the console.
It can be great value or not, I am not interested in this argument.

Smaller bezels, but still pretty damn large compared to other modern portable computing devices.
At least the screen won't be ruining gaming for people by being matte!

Why would it be worse? It's the same size as the old Switch, no?
But yes, it's terribly unergonomic.

What if the dock had a DLSS chip built in?
(I don't know at what stage DLSS happens, and if it could happen after the image has already been rendered.)

They should have changed the battery life to 30 minutes in order to match the ergonomics. Now, that would have been proper design.
I’m assuming you’re calling me a fanboy?Just some salty fanboy.

What's "gimmicky" about it?
The issue is how you have to hold it, Joy-Cons are 100% trash, cost, design, function and longevity. It takes thinking outside the box to see that.
Joy-Cons need to be jettisoned into the sun.
Good attempt at a weak defense logical fallacy though.

The white and black design seems directly inspired by the PS5.

It's like its slightly younger supermodel sibling. Maybe it doesn't have the same stuff on the inside, but it's looker in the family for sure.
I agree, Sony in fact created those colors. It’s nothing to do with the fact that boring safe design is going in that direction.

numbskull Switch 4K meant it could output 4k to a tv using Nvidia DLSS, not the screen on the handheld People are complaining because nothing about it is a worthy upgrade for existing owners.

I'm immensely disappointed in how uninterested in buying it I am.
This is basically what the Switch should've been in the first place. Bezzles that aren't half the screen, decent amount of storage, ethernet built into the dock, a kickstand that's not garbage. But for an existing owner it's a complete nothing-burger of an upgrade. Hope these features at least come standard when they do release a successor.

Amen to that.
Well, he hates the Switch, but it has found mainstream success. That makes it gimmicky.
Although, in this case, the line between love and hate are clearly very thin. He claims to hate everything about the Switch, but he can't stay away from Switch threads. Clearly the yearning is there, deeply sublimated, to play Pokemon Sword and Shield: The Mega Fan's Collector's edition, with three joycon at once.

Looks great. If I ever buy one, it'll be one of those and hopefully in that same colour.

It is known nVIDIA hates money and would have never considered doing a die shrink of the Tegra chip for Nintendo consuming much much less power and/or work with then to give them a cut down version of a newer chip restricted at the same performance but much much lower power consumption.
Also, I forget Nintendo is a cash strapped company that cannot invest a lot of money either.

No wait, neither is true…

Awww poor baby
Who tf asked.
DLSS on the dock was debunked, they say it would be very difficult to just scaling after the image was assembled since tensor cores work in conjuction with the shader cores.What if the dock had a DLSS chip built in?

I got lucky and got one of those walmart preorders where they lowered the switch OLED price to $299. Said it was a price match.
