Hey guys, if you don’t like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, it’s okay for you to keep eating the regular kind of Cheetos.

Not much of an accomplishment. If I had the intellect, looks and charm he has, I'd be able to do it too.

I mean, he's not wrong. There's no real reason to replace your current Switch unless you really want an OLED display & "improved speakers".

Such a shame she got fired for that. Nothing wrong with the occupation. I'm not being facetious.

Maybe it will. It only needs to help boost the overall sales of Switch. It doesn't have to sell better than the base model. Same as the Lite.
I figure Switch will continue to sell very strongly into next year. While I'm ready for a refresh of the hardware, I can't deny that this thing has got some kind of momentum. It may not lose any momentum going into holiday 2022 even... just depends on whether they bring the games. Currently, I think they will.

If only I was like Jeff Bezos I could've started Amazon - what sort of argument you are trying to make? If I played tennis as well as Federer I would have been a champion to - not that much of an accomplishment.

But honestly, thats exactly what you should do. I think the "upgrade" is a joke but then im not gonna even bother with OLED. Thats for new buyers. Rest of us are just fine.

She was fired for moonlighting as a prostitute. I mean I get it, I'm not an idiot; it's not family friendly. But the rational side of me thinks: as long as it was in a state where it's legal, it's between consenting adults, and she's practicing safely, then how is it different from any other side job?
I guess at the end of the day it's Nintendo's right to fire her if it's in her contract, but it just annoys me that anyone finds it morally objectionable what someone else does with their free time. It's her body, her choice.

still don't understand why the initial switch didnt include a wide kick stand. or at least a symmetrical layout for them.
talk about a serious design flaw. if it was their only option based off the innards layout of the machine then you got bigger problems.
tech has only been using kickstands for 20+ years now and trial and error'd to death already....but maybe a half inch wide asymmetrical stand would work THIS time....

Maybe.
But that's really not the point. It just threw me for a loop to see "Not much of an accomplishment" followed by "If I had all his incredible qualities, I'd do it to..." I haven't seen such wisdom except while reading the great philosopher Yogi Berra's thoughts.

Yes don’t abandon your current switch model.

Even more questionable is the absence of an ethernet port on the dock, dooming the quality of online to mostly wifi connections.

Nintendo employee goes full straw man on what people are dissapointed about, which isn't the OLED screen
It's the lack of improvements everywhere else

The only Nintendo employee speaking the truth, props.
Because Nintendo are cheap to a fault. But it's okay because it's Nintendo, people will always find an excuse to justify mediocre hardware quality and specifications from Nintendo because muh childhood.
It's so weird; you can love their games but give them a hard time for the hardware being sub-standard you're forced to play them on.

When Sony and Microsoft release updated versions of their consoles like the PS4 Slim or Xbox One S with minimal upgrades, they usually cost the same as the previous SKU and have a fire sale to get rid of the outdated consoles. Why is Nintendo not receiving flak for increasing the price of the Switch for what is essentially a mid-gen revision?

Don't get your hopes up. It'll be a nice jump I'm sure (or, like, mostly sure... you never know with Nintendo) but they never go bleeding edge. They'll go with a more mature process, which has the tiny consumer benefits of them being able to order a large amount and mostly avoid chip shortages. Mostly it's just good for them though.
On topic, this isn't a controversial statement, it's just common sense (as long as the implication isn't "shut up already"). That also means that it can go without saying, and it's probably not smart to even engage. Anyone remember that Xbox employee who said Xbox One owners should live somewhere with better internet? Even as a joke it cost him his job.

They don't need a new console to fix it, but just joycons revision. They probably don't care since everyone and their mother makes third party Joycons.Do the joycons still
???
OLED shmo-led. Having a second console refresh that doesn't bother to fix a known hardware defect is just plain insulting.

Don wasn't the reason for 360 success, it was peter moore and j allard. Things got bad in fact shortly after he took over.That beta was responsible for the success that was X360:

It’s what I consider an enthusiast model of the standard switch rather than a midgen refresh. As you said, if you already have a switch this probably doesn’t mean much of an upgrade but if you have a switch lite or neither than this is the better option of the three.
like comparing a gba to a gba sp. the SP has more and better features but overall they have the same function.

The biggest disappointment beyond the extra 50 bucks on the price tag is how this is most likely using the same shitty joycons. Yet this thing will still get gobbled up.
You needed Nintendo to tell you that? You could not make your own decisions? My god help this people

We keep saying this, but this time those outlets did in fact just throw out baseless rumors without validating their sources’ information.
Sadly, I’m seeing it more and more that even once “respectable” outlets are falling victim to the siren song of clickbait articles for ad revenue.

He came on an already established hype train which was the xbox 360. Mattrick doesn’t deserve credit for that console’s success. Foh.That beta was responsible for the success that was X360:

If people used their heads instead of trusting journalists, they would have seen this coming.
No sense breaking up the install base. Switch wasn't going to get many new third party ports with better hardware. Easier to just buy a console for that.

First thing to come in mind.

Dude almost cucked an entire generation of gamers with his "wE hAvE a CoNsOLe FoR yOu". Luckily we were able to rise up and prevent it(and flip the switch). Chad Spencer is better in every way compared to Don.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I think we'll get a new Switch in 2023. It fits the schedule.
Nobody who's anybody ever said it was coming this year.
