The Nikkei report also claims to know the reason for this delay. Apparently it’s all down to Nintendo trying to secure as much stock of the new Nintendo Switch console before it actually launches, in an effort to combat scalping, where customers will purchase a console and then sell it on for a profit, drastically increasing the price in the process.
The report also claims that the Nintendo Switch successor will feature a larger screen than the standard version of the current console. The current screen size is six inches and two centimetres for the standard model, while the OLED model boasts a seven inch screen. There’s no indication the Nintendo Switch successor will have a larger screen than the OLED model, however.
