The stingy old man has not changed his temperament. According to sources, the next generation of Nintendo game consoles may use traditional LCD screens instead of OLED screens in order to reduce costs. Two industry insiders revealed in an interview with VGC that due to the increasing size of game installation packages, the next generation of Nintendo game consoles is bound to expand the in-machine storage space, but the affordability of blue ocean users limits the room for price increases. Lao Huang’s bargaining power is even weaker. After much deliberation, he can only use his brains on the screen, eat a batch of off-stock LCDs to reduce costs, and then upgrade OLEDs in a year or so. Wouldn’t it be great to harvest twice?
The source also confirmed that the new game console still uses a physical cassette as the game carrier and supports handheld mode, just like the current Switch. However, there are still variables in backward compatibility with Switch. It is said that third parties are worried that backward compatibility will affect the sales of fried rice.
As the hardware sales and software sales of the current Switch are facing double-digit declines, it is a realistic choice to ship new consoles on a large scale before next year’s Christmas season, and major partners have received development kits for the new consoles.

The deadline for Microsoft to acquire Activision has been extended to October 18, and the CMA has until August 29 to express its position on Microsoft’s new proposal.
Finally, SCS Software announced that the “Oklahoma” expansion pack of “American Truck Simulator” will meet with players tomorrow, expanding the number of roaming states in the game to 13.
