They're probably lying but then again Steam Deck didn't go for an OLED screen so maybe it's a very expensive part lol.

Then again lying about a higher profit margin to investors seems pretty baffling so I dunno.

Nintendo is definitely lying. They do know that other people can check the BOM of a particular product, right? In all likelihood, Nintendo can get these parts cheaper than others can negotiate for.

OLED screens are probably still expensive. I know that's why Vita consoles stopped having it after initial launch.

I wonder why they never considered making a non-portable version of the switch.

I imagine it would be cheaper to design and manufacture than a console with a screen.

they're a publically traded company, meaning they can be independently audited. if they're lying about that, it'd be picked up on very quickly.

I'm sure it exists in a Nintendo building somewhere. I think they're saving it as a budget model for when sales slow down which hasn't actually happened yet.

They specifically mentioned investors in that Tweet. They're not lying. Nintendo would have just ignored it if it was true instead of committing securities fraud.

lol, you can get OLEDs at $200 phones, considering the shit Nintendo used as the screen on the OG Switch, they can get a good deal on low tier OLEDs.

That would be even more useless than the switch lite, tbh
