Gamers know that Nintendo started the whole mid-cycle refresh trend. This is also the reason why the Switch is overdue for a slight upgrade. The portable hybrid console first hit store shelves five years ago and hasn't really gotten a substantial upgrade. The closest thing we have is the Nintendo Switch OLED. Although believe that the Switch Pro is coming, some aren't quite so optimistic.
The main conflicting reports come from "Moore's Law is Dead" and Takashi Mochizuki.
Moore's Law is Dead is a trusted industry insider who's had more hits than misses lately. In a Broken Silicon podcast, Moore's Law says "dev kits are out" and that he's already "letting the cat out of the bag." No official and public info confirms Moore's Law's leak. But, it's at least worth looking into what he just said.
On the other hand, Bloomberg reporter, Takashi Mochizuki, points out that a recent Nikkei interview with Nintendo president, Shuntaro Furukawa, highlights that the gaming giant will not release new hardware this fiscal year. However, Mochizhuki adds that it's not clear if the info is from Nikkei's own reporting or if it's a comment from the Furukawa.
