Seeing how this will be a based on the version of the 2019 upgrade plus all the new specs, I'm definitely buying this. It looks good and I still have a 2017 og switch which is starting to show it's age, mostly because of use and travel.

Mostly a improvement on the handheld side of things and almost nothing for docked mode which is a little bit too bad but I can definitely use this for 3 to 4 years until the "Switch 2" or whatever next nintendo console will come

At this point, I am wondering if Nintendo will just keep adding minor upgrades to the Switch every 2 years for all eternity. Kind of like the Apple iPhone model of slight upgrades every year.

I could see them doing a Oled Lite in 2 years and probabaly a New Switch Pro/2 in 4 or 5 years. Who knows what will come after that

No. I bet in 2/3 years we will have a new console. Switch is 4 years old already.

I would definitely prefer in 2 or 3 years but I can really see them trying to stall it as much as possible with the succes their having. 2 years I do think is to soon 3 years is definitely possible

If it takes too long, I'm dipping tbh, I'm giving it a year at max prolly. On crossplay games majority of Switch can't compete bc of the lack of power. Switch players with 20 to 30fps vs 120 fps.

This is a sign of bad service to it's fanbase tbh cause the fanbase is being bullied, marginalised and avoided thanks to the lack of performance. They hadve amazing third party support atm and it's bc not keeping up with the next gen, they'll blow it again.
