Switch Pro, This is Not



After so many "leak", rumors and "reports", Nintendo has finally taken the lid off the next iteration of the Nintendo Switch!

Just one small detail though, this is not the Switch Pro that all of the leaks were talking about.  It turns out to be a far cry of any of the mentioned specs, there will be no technical bump.  So what exactly are we getting with this new Switch?

OLED! - the biggest and more noticeable difference is will be the screen, it should offer perfect blacks, brighter and more colorful image.

Hinge - No more off center, flimsy hinge.  The new hinge will cover the entire back and has almost unlimited placement, similarly to the Microsoft Surface line of laptops.

Audio - "Enhanced Audio".

Dock - The new dock will come with a built in LAN.

Internals - [BLANK]


All kidding aside, these are incremental upgrades and refinements that would make it an attractive purchase for a newcomer.  Most of the disappointment is mostly coming existing owners who were looking for a bump in specs, for newcomers or those in need of a second or replacement then this is a perfect buy.

The experience will also make a big upgrade starting today.  Previous Xbox cloud games were using custom Xbox One X running in their datacenters but now they've been upgraded to Series X.  This means that Next-Gen graphics and technologies will now be available to subscribers whether they own one or not.  This essentially means that, assuming good internet, your games will look better on your phone or PC than on your Xbox One X/S. When it comes to cloud gaming, Microsoft is doing things a bit differently than Nvidia, Amazon or Google.  While those services allow you to bu
