I really don't think so; those demanding a Pro are vocal internet minority. The average consumer is fine with Switch's current power level.

What would be the point anyway? A Switch Pro released in 2020 would still be weaker than PS4 and still a generation behind PS5/Scarlett.

Agreed. 2020 is also a tad early....a lot of people are investing on the Switch now and the regular model remains a pricy investment (mine with a game and carrying case cost me about 400 dollars) consumers wouldn't be too happy to see their investment replaced that quickly.

As you stated the matter of power is an issue...how much power can they fit in the device while maintaining the same price point even if they can somehow squeeze PS4 like specs into the machine...it would still be a meager upgrade by comparison in relation to the next wave of consoles.

I say late 21/early 22 before we see something on that front. It won't be as powerful ...or nearly as powerful as a PS5 but perhaps they can deliver something along or a bit further along than the base PS4 and thus justify the update.

The thing is, by the time it's viable for Switch Pro to outdo the PS4 with reasonable pricing, they'd be better off just waiting a year or two more and releasing a full-blown successor with a generational leap in power over the original Switch.
