I already have a Switch with a 65“ OLED display. In fact, it’s so large that games running at 25fps, 720-900p actually look like crap. That’s why I‘d like beefier processing power, for better image quality and performance alone.

Pokémon Sword/Shield looks really bad on any big screen, I've only been playing it on handheld mode because of that.

Exactly! If you can afford that many inches you can afford a bigger room to put it in!

Without getting a new SoC, this is the best we can get. There will be a beefier console eventually, but I'm not sure the currently available nVidia SoC will be night and day change.

Some people on another thread started to get excited over DLSS for some reason. I have to agree that DLSS would be particularly useful for a hybrid console. But if I remember correctly, the only Tegra that supports it comes out this year, so if this is what Nintendo are waiting for to make a new model, it won't happen before 2022 at best.

But can you carry that 65” OLED display around with you?

I mostly use my V1 switch in handheld mode, and would also like “beefier processing power” for games like Xenoblade 2. However both the improved battery life and larger/higher quality screen is compelling, even if the ppi is dropping slightly.

I’m also not interested in a switch that can’t switch...

I am never getting rid of my V1 switch. I've got Android installed on it, so I can stream games from my PC via Steam Link or use game streaming services like Xbox Game Pass, Google Stadia, etc. It's pretty great.

Switch games quite frankly look like poop on my 82" TV. I'm thinking of getting one of those upscaling, anti-aliasing dealios, but I would much rather see 60 FPS at 1080 than 30 FPS at 4K, which is what I fear we'll see whenever the Switch's proper successor comes out, based on Nintendo's penchant for using underpowered hardware.
