Numerous articles have popped up all over the place about the rumored "Switch Pro". While the OLED models debut is definitely a disaster for most, does it point to something potentially better?
The four main upgrades we received- the OLED screen, the kickstand, the speakers and the dock were lacking the main thing most of wanted; more power. But the one thing that seems to be confirmed is Nintendo's main priority, the gaming experience. Every upgrade the Switch has undergone has benefitted the user experience, increasing battery life (the initial chip uograde in the OG Switch), and now the visual experience with the buily in screen. The Switch may just be too small to pack in 4k gaming power while maintaining battery life. So what options does Nintendo have?
External GPUs.
What if Nintendo released another dock with an external GPU built in, solely for the purpose of 4k output to the TV?
This would allow for lower cost, and it wouldn't impare the current experience with the Switch. While I certainly would like at a FHD display, the 720p screen has a huge advantage for battery life, and is sharp enough for enjoyable gameplay.
As an optional accessory, an upgraded dock would allow for mass adoption for those either unwilling or unable to fork out the money for an entire new console.
