The switch's hardware capabilities are really not keeping up with modern day graphics. I don't nedd 4k@60. 1080p@60 is ideal, but I'll even take 1080p@30, and the switch struggles to do that without severely downgraded graphics.

The Switch in handheld mode is fine as it is now. I like having a larger screen so that's a bonus. But Dave was being Nintendo's simp in this video. Even Digital Foundry was disappointed in this OLED Switch. The Vita came out in 2011 and it had an OLED screen. Ethernet ports have been built into console's since 2001. So it's silly when Nintendo is touting these as amazing new features in their reveal trailer and the Nintendo soyboys defending them. What Nintendo should have and could have done is have some form of dlss or performance boost built into the dock. So when you're in docked mode you get an increase in performance. It would be nice if games could run at 1080p 60fps in 2021.

Too bad it offers literally nothing for TV gaming. I play some titles portable and some on TV. OLED will be a nice handheld upgrade (though the larger size has me worried since I already can count the pixels on current display in plenty of games). Just sucks that a lot of games that are teetering just under 30fps, or unstable, won't be getting that cleaned up at all with this new, more expensive model

Say it with jazz hands.

Thank you someone who finally speaks sense!!! And also at a value people want.

I agree that 720p is sufficient for handheld, though they've could have released a dock that enables at least 1080p60 on TVs. There's enough space in the dock for an "eGPU". Battery consumption wouldn't be an issue this way either as it would be docked.

Did Nintendo Switch need an upgrade? Yes, indeed. There are so many games that run like crap with current soc.

But everyone keeps buying it. So the only reason to make an upgrade is to please your fans..., which isn't cost-efficient nor produce more sales. There's no need (business wise) to make an upgrade

That's right, this video clearly show that he is somewhat fanboy defending business decision I'm pretty sure demand for hardware upgrade isn't that high if their console actually able to run stable at 30fps regardless what rumor said

@@marcossamuelbocanegrav4364 yeah, people will keep buying nintendo switch because it's a really popular console. not gonna deny that. but the fact that they announced an oled switch instead of pro is the opposite of pleasing their fans.

@@marcossamuelbocanegrav4364 no Nintendo doesn't need to release new hardware when they're selling like hotcakes. But Dave and you are acting like Nintendo soyboys. Do people upgrade their cell phone every year? Is there a new Nintendo game coming out that is highly anticipated and the only thing ppl want is for the game to run at 60fps? BOTW2 at 60fps pls

I think maybe the problem with this refresh is it only seems to benefit handheld switch gamers. People who dock aren't really getting an upgrade.

@Ryoku Y Advocating piracy for current gen/recent games is really fucked up, unless you're in a difficult financial situation, but if you have a good enough PC to play any game at "whatever resolution/framerate you want", you should absolutely be paying, end of story.

Wow Dave, you really turned me around on this. I don’t really love the OLED Switch, but man, you’re right. No need for them to upgrade this year!

On point, loved the video!
