Jeff Grubb has discussed new rumors of a “new Nintendo Switch model”, including from his own sources.
Jeff made it clear that he was not able to verify this rumor, even though he mentioned it. But we will get into all of that below.

So Jeff has other sources of his own that are confirming something
