For reference, the Nintendo Switch base model has 32GB of storage. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S titles can be upwards of 150 GB in size. According to sources, this is likely due to the high cost of large storage media-which is required for most next-gen games. Nintendo may also reduce costs by downgrading the current OLED display on the Nintendo Switch OLED to a more cost-effective LCD panel on its next-generation console. This means that it will not follow in the footsteps of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but instead take the path paved by the hugely successful Nintendo Switch.

The sources also stated that the next console will have a portable mode, like the Nintendo Switch-making it a hybrid console. VGC reports that multiple sources have indicated that Nintendo’s next major console will be released next year. However, new reports claim that Nintendo could be planning to launch its next gaming console by the second half of 2024. However, Nintendo’s next-generation system-the successor to the popular Nintendo Switch-is yet to be announced. Sony and Microsoft have already released their newest consoles, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S, respectively. The gaming industry is dominated by three major console makers: Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.
