A Nintendo employee says Switch owners don't need to upgrade to the new OLED model if they have no interest in the bigger, more vibrant 7-inch screen.

Following the announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED model, manager of product marketing JC Rodrigo was asked on Twitter if this upcoming console refresh will run any better than the current models available on the market. Rodrigo reiterated performance is not what the OLED system is for and said Switch owners can ultimately "stick with the current one if you're not digging the screen."

Rodrigo's comment makes sense. The Switch OLED model is ostensibly a mid-cycle refresh, not the upgraded version that's been reported and rumored to feature 4K output and better performance. In fact, Nintendo told VGC that the OLED model has "no major internal changes" over the current one. When reached for comment, Nintendo told us that the OLED model also uses the same Joy-Cons.
