Nintendo Switch Pro doesn’t need 4K — it needs HDR, 120Hz, and an SSD

Nintendo says it has no plans to release a new model of its hybrid home/handheld Switch system this year. But president Shuntaro Furukawa said something similar in an interview in January 2019, and then company launched the Switch Lite in September. But even if the next Switch revision isn’t coming this holiday, the company probably has another Switch in the works.

Switch is selling well for Nintendo. It’s on the same pace as PlayStation 4 in terms of consoles sold. But Nintendo will want to keep that momentum, and the way it does that is by releasing revisions. It released the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, and the DSi. For the 3DS, it released 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS XL, New 3DS, and New 2DS. So even with Switch selling well on the strength of games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a new model seems inevitable.
