Nintendo Switch Pro: the console confirmed following a ball from an OLED screen manufacturer?

Despite the increasingly insistent rumors, Nintendo leaves absolutely nothing to filter about the existence of a Switch Pro. However, it could be that a third party involved in the project has made a mistake. Indeed, during the presentation of its financial results for the first quarter of 2021-2022, Universal Display Corporation (a manufacturer of OLED screens) presented to its shareholders the products that it would design in the coming months. And in the lot, we find the hybrid console from Kyoto which, obviously, should accommodate an OLED screen.

“Regarding the video game industry, for the first time, Nintendo has chosen an OLED screen for the Switch Pro because of the advantages offered by this technology, particularly in terms of contrast and running time. reply“, explained the president Steven V. Abramson. A statement which tends to corroborate the rumors of hallway of recent months, even if it is better to wait for an official announcement from Nintendo.

In any case, the Japanese manufacturer has no reason to rush: 1) Because the current model totals almost 85 million copies sold, 2) The shortage of electronic components due to COVID-19 is forcing managers to procrastinate. Moreover, not long ago, Nintendo indicated that the lack of semiconductors could impact the production of the console by the end of the year.
