Nintendo rarely comments on rumors, but this time decided not to leave the situation unanswered. The company denied a Bloomberg report that Switch OLED should become more profitable than the previous model.
Recall that last week Bloomberg said that the production of a new Switch with an OLED screen will cost Nintendo only $ 10 more than the previous model. And the Japanese are going to sell the console for $ 50 more. This means that the company will be able to earn more on Switch OLED.
The representatives of Nintendo wrote a denial of this on Twitter:
In the news of July 15, 2021, it was claimed that the profitability of the Nintendo Switch OLED will increase compared to the standard Nintendo Switch. In order for our investors and clients to understand what is happening correctly, we want to state directly: this statement is incorrect.
The company also indicated that it is not going to release another version of Switch in the near future. The assumption that Switch OLED may be an intermediate model, and a more powerful console will be released after the release of the second part of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, was also published by Bloomberg.
