Rumor: Switch features 6.2″ 720p multi-touch screen

Eurogamer has published a new report with alleged information about Switch.
After contacting several sources, the site has learned that the screen is 6.2″ in size, has a 720p resolution, and features a capacitive multi-touch screen. This is in contrast to Wii U and 3DS which provide resistive touchscreens, reliant on pressure and less precise – not to mention single-touch. With Switch’s screen containing a 10-point multitouch display, multi-finger gestures are supported.
The big question is how touch works when Switch is docked. It may come down to the right JoyCon controller, which has a short-range IR sensor in its base. This may be used to point at the TV to replicate basic touchscreen functionality.
Laura Kate Dale previously claimed that Switch will have a multi-touch screen. Emily Rogers has also reported similar information.
