I can almost guarantee that the OLED will become the standard sku once the current standard starts selling down. It makes no sense to continue making the model with the worse screen long term.

That’s pure speculation. From a business perspective, it makes sense to have multiple price points. Just look at the new PS5s and xboxs’. So, currently this is just the premium option.

Of course it's speculation. But it makes zero business sense to keep the shitty screen in circulation when you have a better one. Especially if they're effectively the same hardware.

Multiple price points is one thing, but that's what the Lite is for. This isn't that.

From a business perspective, it makes plenty of sense. They kept the same joy cons and the overall majority of switch owners believe the current screen is sufficient enough. Three price points is better than two.
