4 Reasons to Wait for Nintendo Switch 2 & 3 Reasons Not To

Wait for a 2019 Nintendo Switch Refresh

Normally two years into a console life cycle you wouldn’t expect much of an upgrade, but signs are pointing to  2019 Nintendo Switch release that brings some new features. This may not be a console that is worth upgrading from the original Switch, but it may be worth waiting for especially if you consider yourself a hardcore gamer. 

We had heard about a smaller 2019 Nintendo Switch, but signs now point to a performance Nintendo Switch that delivers better specs and potentially better looking games and a cheaper model. 

It's unlikely that you will see exclusive games for the performance model, but you could see better graphics and better overall experiences. That's how Microsoft and Sony approach it currently. 

The catch with waiting is that you will likely need to wait until the holiday shopping season in 2019. That’s a half a year of waiting and of not playing new games on the Switch. If you have another system that’s do-able, but if you are still making due with a Wii U, PS3 or Xbox 360 it is a long wait.
