But you already have that with New 3DS (in 3DS case just new games scale up) and now with PS4 Pro, and thats why I wrote Swtich Pro. Apple releasing multiplay new iPhones per years and thats normal for mobile phones, but you cant expect that Nintendo will release upgraded Switch versions so soon, maybe something like Sony done with PS4 Pro, after around 3 years.

I think the consumer should decide when and where to upgrade, not some arbitrary date. If newer chips are available, then use them. Sony/MS are moving to 14nm/16nm chips because last year was the first time they're really mass producable. 

Nintendo has an advantage in that their successor chip is basically already 100% complete (Tegra Parker) and not only that the successor to *that* chip is almost finished on top of that (Tegra Xavier), lol. Mobile tech is simply advancing much faster. 

I actually wouldn't have minded a Switch model being able to swap out the main processor entirely, like a cartridge almost or like the N64 RAM pack. These Tegra chips are tiny. 

Its on Nintendo to decide when is best time to release upgraded or cheaper version of Switch on market, not consumers. It's not point only about fact that never chips become available, for instance much more important is to look at need of market and to know how much product like that would sell in that moment, and there is definitely no need to release stronger Switch shortly after current one. In this case newer chips are just tools, not actual goal.

I would love some kind upgrade like N64, but I doubt we will see that because main unit is Switch itself.
