    They’ll release a “New!” version in a year with an improved screen as one of its bullet points, in a bid to get you to buy it again. And people will. See also:

      New 3DS was actually a pretty huge upgrade over the original. Despite the name, it was effectively the next generation of the console. Or at the very least a half-generation.

      I agree. There’s no reason this new console shouldn’t have the oled screen by default. Other than planned obsoletion.
