GN Version 5.0

Earlier today, a report came in from The Edge Markets stating that a revamped version of the Switch is coming in 2021. Their info came from people along the supply chain, but obviously no specific names were given. Now Bloomberg is joining in on the report with their own tidbits.

Bloomberg also believes that a revamped Switch is coming in 2021, and it will include beefier specs compared to the current Switch options. Bloomberg says their info comes from 'people familiar with the matter,' and also states that Nintendo considered features like improved processing power and 4K resolution support. Whether they actually went ahead with those features remains to be seen.

Finally, Bloomberg says that both first-party and third-party software is in the works, and the titles will focus on both casual and hardcore audiences. Apparently the revamped Switch is getting the lion's share of Nintendo's attention right now, which supposedly explains why the first party software support for Switch in 2020 has been a bit slow.
