In August of last year, Switch Intelligence Officer published an article about the Switch Pro that offered some predictions for the future.
Today, more and more news is coming out about the Pro, with references to chip improvements and screen upgrades. Looking back now, the analysis hit a lot of points. Today, there are small partners asked, since the Switch is coming, so now buy Switch also sweet? Before we answer this question, let's analyze it.
First, the Switch Pro may not be a replacement product in the true sense.
Whether it's official or anecdotal, it didn't specifically describe what Switch Pro's future would look like. But from the spread of words and phrases, its optimization reflected in two aspects.
One is the screen material upgrade; the other is the core computing chip upgrade. And its screen resolution hasn't improved significantly, remaining at 720P, which could be a sign.
It suggests that without resolution improvements, new models are more likely to be upgraded rather than iterated. This is not difficult for us to imagine from the management of the law.
It's a combination of the Switch's global best-selling status and the launch of a high-performance, high-computing next-generation console from rivals Microsoft's Xbox X and Sony's PS5.
And make a appease the player tangled heart a sort of compromise. Simultaneously, it creates an expectation that increases buyer uncertainty and thus reduces buyer willingness to buy from competitors (only for new users who have never owned a console before).
Second, it may be a counterattack to the future "heat dissipation" chip.
Since the cooling chip went viral, we have seen the most potent legal department make frequent moves. The momentum has been curbed, but there is talk of another offer.
Visible, the existing chip has been the edge of these manufacturers thought through. Given Nintendo's old anti-piracy system, it's likely that Nintendo's chips, in addition to content improvements, will be further upgraded to prevent piracy.
Three, now buy Switch is not sweet?
1. Judging from the 720P resolution, the Switch Pro launched this time may only be a slight upgrade. If there's a comparison, it's like the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S.
2, 720P indicates that the game cartridge format will not have a significant change and shows that it can be compatible with the original Switch cartridge game. Conversely, even after the SwitchPro came out, its games were Switch compatible.
3. This compatibility should be more of maintenance for existing players. At the same time, the Nintendo out is also a traditional approach. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, was compatible with previous consoles.
4. Although the game is compatible, the actual performance may vary. However, it is said that the Switch Pro will not support ray tracing or 8K resolution. Just for the read speed, the picture quality of a slight upgrade.
With all that said, if it's a minor upgrade, the current Switch might be able to enjoy itself again. If you do not believe it, you can think about the non-endurance of the pack pulp machine! Of course, if you're looking for a better picture on the Switch, but can't wait, it's time to get your hands on it -- Christmas is still nine months away.
