Why go back to LCD after releasing an OLED for the Switch, surely it's better to make this one OLED rather than releasing it with LCD and then making an OLED later down the road

- Because the number of people who won't buy it because of the LCD screen is smaller than the number of additional people who will buy it if it's $X cheaper at launch.

  Yeah, you need a balance when launching new hardware. Most people, specially Nintendo players, don't care about OLED vs LCD that much. So, cheaper > OLED.
  
  That being said, I am not trusting any rumours, or even checking them out, so don't know what the article says, but if they do go with LCD, this could be the reason.

- It is all probably planned, so you buy it again for the OLED model

- why would it be better for nintendo to not make millions of people buy it twice?

- I wonder about the processor. The one in the switch was basically obsolete when shipped. I just hope they start with something fast this time if we’re gonna be stuck with it for 8 years.

  Yeah, don't get your hopes up. Heat dissipation and battery life aren't going to be your friends on this one.

  Obsolete tech is cheap. They can undercut the prices of other systems despite being a much smaller company. Also, by targeting simplified graphics, they can save money on development costs.
  
  Nintendo's strategy has been to make great games that run on modest hardware. It worked for the GameBoy line, the DS line, the Wii, and the Switch.

- Sony did the same with the later Vita models.

No OLED, no purchase. No way they are doing this, I would be shocked.

- Eh, it'll be totally sold out for two years, they'll get their sales and then the oled model in 2026 will get them even more. This is nintendo. They do this.

  I hope they do two versions at launch, a cheaper LCD one and a more expensive OLED one. That would make the most sense I think
