Good thing I didn't buy one just yet (was planning to at the end of the month).

I wonder if they fixed the Stick Drift problem.

Daresay that there may never be a NS model I will buy. What's the point of a hybrid console if I would never use the portability of it? Oh well. Another Nintendo console I have to skip.

They are still important to the Switch, although to a lesser degree. For instance, the Switch would have tanked in Europe without Fifa. Having the likes of Skyrim, Doom, Diablo, Mortal Kombat, The Witcher 3 or Wolfenstein on the system is certainly helping the system, but unlike Playstation and Xbox, it's not what defines the system by a long shot.

Just....don't use the System out of the dock 

The funny thing is this probably is a hardware upgrade if Nintendo allows devs to utilize it.

Almost doubling the battery power doesn't randomly just get pulled out of their ass, it likely means the new Switch can run at near double the performance at the old battery envelope undocked, I wonder if some devs with ask Nintendo to be able to use that power mode. It also likely means it can hit full performance of its docked mode, and there are reports that Mariko is higher clocked on top of that.

It's not really a "Switch Pro" like the PS4 Pro. It's more like a "new Switch" like the "new 3DS". In other words this is the same type handheld strategy that Nintendo has always used.

The "Switch Pro" idea was there to fool all of the people who thought a "Wii HD" was going to come out just a couple of years after the Wii's release.

I agree.  The "Switch Pro" narrative is essentially the same as the "Wii HD" narrative that went around during the Wii's lifetime.  People kept insisting that Wii needed better visuals to compete.  Obviously it didn't.  Switch also doesn't need better visuals to compete.  Switch isn't getting a visual upgrade until it releases it's true successor around 2023 or so.  It's the same old story and people still fall for it.

Wow....Battery life from original Switch to Lite is meh, but comparing original Switch and Lite to upgraded Switch is huge difference!

Based on the fact that most Europeans love their Fifa on their Console. And it's sales there. I'm fairly certain thousands of those bought a Switch just to play Fifa on the go.

To a certain degree I find battery life irrelevant, on a personal side. When I travel with the kids they plug the Switch into a USB port readily available in any new car, battery last all day.
