Nintendo Switch With 7-Inch OLED Display To Release This October

COVID-19 pandemic in a way gave a boost to the online gaming industry. And a proof of this is Nintendo selling close to 85 million units of the hybrid home/portable switch console, which is priced at $299.99 and the handheld only Switch Lite priced $199.99.

Earlier there were rumors that the new switch will feature an upgraded central processor unit (CPU) and a 4K output on television. Fans and players were anticipating these features, however unfortunately the upgrades are not included in the new console.

Some industry experts also were of the opinion that Nintendo in its fifth year in the market has not announced any significant or radical upgrades to its device. Serkan Toto, founder of Kantan Games said, “It’s a great upgrade for a handful of gamers, but the general expectation was for the new device to be significantly more powerful.”

The 7-inch OLED display in the new device will undoubtedly offer clear and explicit visual experience, however, it fails to bridge the gap with its competitors like Sony and Microsoft, when it comes to the overall performance. Sony and Microsoft had launched next generation consoles, namely,  PS5 and Xbox Series S & X, respectively last year.

Sony and Microsoft devices have witnessed a massive demand since they were launched. The devices have been often running out of stock as soon as they are restocked by the manufacturers. 

In May 2021, Nintendo, in a rather conservative forecast, had announced that it expects to sell 25.5 million units of its consoles in the current financial year.
