    Insider sources say the new model is a full mid-gen upgrade, and will:

    contain hardware improvements to boost AAA support (especially for when PS5/XB2 come out)
    perform roughly around the level of a base PS4 apparently
    contain a custom chipset--whether this means a new Nvidia chip or something else is unknown
    cost $400
    aim for 256GB to 512GB internal storage

    insiders also say the leak was staged by Nintendo to keep investors happy and to dissuade Switch performance criticisms, and will be officially announced in January

      Editing … oh and they say this version of the Switch has been in development since long before the Switch came out, and that the Switch we have is sort of a demo to see if the concept is capable of succeeding

      Editing … My dead uncle who works at Nintendo says that the new Switch will outperform even the most powerful gaming PC and will utilize quantum mechanics for maximum performance.

      Editing … I was thinking Switch is basically a Vita with Nintendo first party support attached. But yeah this sounds like the wishful thinking of a deranged fanboy. $400? Competing with PS5? We're talking about a company who considers NES emulation to be a key part of their market strategy. Personally what's keeping me from a Switch isn't the lack of a juiced up version, but the lack of a US price cut or dockless bundle, or a slim model that's permanently in handheld mode. (or console mode seeing as I actually play on a TV now)

      Editing … I waited until a year ago to get my 3DS and then like two months later all the good games were out of circulation. Nobody wins.
