"the unannounced Switch successor console has an 8-inch LCD screen and launches later in 2024. For context, the standard Switch has a 6.2-inch screen on the diagonal, and the OLED has a 7-inch screen."

My guess: Bigger screen to make the touch screen even less usable, probably without increasing pixel density, and with specs still several generations old.

My guess: these rumors are complete bullshit. Nintendo isn't the kind of company to do sequels to consoles. They have to reinvent the wheel with every generation. I don't know what their next system will be, but it's not going to be a "Switch 2".

That said, you're right on the money: resolution will be shit and the hardware underpowered. That's one thing Nintendo is consistent on.

The "New" 3DS was a power upgrade and a right-stick nubbin on an otherwise identical console to the original. I could see them making a "New" Switch. They'll probably even call it that because they love that word tagged onto things.

Oh, and much better 3D with eye tracking.
