@mobius017 It's true about the lite Switch, it's related to them having to change factory locations and not being able to get the same parts for the same cost. (I don't really know about a Pro version or the whole story, not a huge Nintendo fan and don't care to research when there are so many rumors compared to hard facts.)
exactly ^-^
from what I've heard, a Switch lite might appear already by this summer (so in the next 1-3 months). the original Switch is just not that good in terms of portability, and you have to remember that two major Nintendo titles, Pokemon and Animal Crossing, are coming to Switch, and those 2 IPs are perfect on the go. Switch already surpassed PS4 sales in Japan, and a lite version might just put more and more sales to Nintendo.
regarding the rumored Pro version, it might use the new Tegra chip by Nvidia :)
I also want to add more things:
- the new Project DIVA Mega39s for Nintendo Switch will be playable at SEGA booth during Magical Mirai 2019 in Tokyo
- in Tokyo, there will be key members of the Arcade team listening to players and fan feedback. If you are there and have something to say and don't know japanese, I recommend to write the feedback in english in advance on a piece of paper, so they can check it carefully. please feel free to write any kind of feedback ^u^
- more important details, including how the development started, will be shared in a couple of days, when the new issue of Famitsu magazine is out with the interview to the producer Makoto Osaki
- starting from July 5th to August 5th there will be a PiaPro contest to select an original tshirt design that will become a module in the game
- the DLC pack for Future Tone DX (PS4) won't have the new cel shading graphics and the extra mode, those are exclusive to Nintendo Switch
- the theme song has been made just for the new game
- 10 new songs are included
- the "SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project" team is planning to carry out various 10th anniversary commemorative projects in the future, so please look forward for the future announcements ^u^
