I'll be curious to see more about it. I think we all knew a revision was on the horizon, but what exactly it'll be remains in queston. Will they bolster the hardware as Sony and Microsoft gear up for their next console cycles? Will they sunset the 3DS and make a dedicated Switch handheld that's a single unit?

I think there's a lot of interesting directions they can take, but I hope they don't lose sight of the fact that they're already lagging when it comes to raw power and the next PlayStation/Xbox cycle will almost guarantee that ports of AAA titles won't likely happen.

You're right about the raw power. But then again, I remember that being a complaint when it came out, and it's done alright. But at the same time, next gen when people are playing in 4K, the Switch might seem more antique.

I'll probably buy the damn thing.

Just as long as I can play all the new games on my old Switch, I'll be all right.  You know how when Nintendo brought out all those 3DS XL and New 3DS and 2DS etc.?  Well I still use my old original 3DS!  Sure I'd love to have a bigger screen, but why spend all that money when the one I have works just fine?

I bought a New 3DS XL when it came out, but I wanted an XL for a while and didn't get one. The bigger screen does make a difference.

I'm not surprised Nintendo would do this. A lot of companies have done this with their products doing a new updated version to bring in more sales. I don't think I would buy a new Switch because I don't need another one. The one I have works fine, I don't need it to have the latest and greatest screen because to be honest I never looked at Nintendo games to be top of the line games when it comes to graphics.

This 4K thing is becoming a thing. Maybe that's what's motivating them to push more power. As usually, I'll be way behind the curve for years on that stuff.
