We knew waaaaaay more about the NX than we do about this new Drake hardware.
Prior to Switch reveal trailer, which dropped roughly 6 months before launch, we knew the form factor of the device, its hybrid nature, a solid estimate of its power, and the detachable Joycons functionality.
In comparison to Drake, we do not have nearly as much info. The fact that we donโt even know the dimensions or rough size of the device, or any info about controllers, solid confirmed games in development for the device, etc, in December 2022 (let alone back in October 2022) is what led me to believe we were not getting a successor or pro for the launch with Zelda.
Now there was a possibility for some reveal next month since the rough reveal to release pipeline would have aligned with the Switch reveal and launch, but this OLED model might have just put the final nail in that coffin.
There could still be a new device that launches alongside this OLED model and the OG Switch effectively becomes the budget sku to the Drake, but thatโs a hard reach. Donโt see that happening.
