PS4 Pro isnt waste of money, they basically refreshing PS4 and give consumers more options, more affordable or more power one console. I think Nintedo will do something similar with Switch
Actually Nintendo would from beginning offer Switch Pocket without dock and controller, but that would make confusion with whole Switch concept, but I definitely see them releasing Switch Pocket (smaller version of Switch for playing just on go, without dock and controller, for $100 lower price than OG Switch). I can see doing something similar for home console users, more powerful Switch that isn't portable and mobile.So basically having more different hardwares and options that or part of same platform.
That would not mean there will not be new generation of Nintendo and only Switch, but with approach like that, new generations becoming less important, and I definitely don't see making totally new platform only 5 years after Switch, more it would something similar like going from Wii/DS to WiiU/3DS, just in this case exactly same architecture (Nvidia+ARM) that will allow backward compatibility and same development method, with some new concept or idea.

Nah, every Switch will have Joy Cons and a Dock. Removing physical inputs completely defeats the point of making a dedicated gaming device and they won't want to risk the confusion of having a Switch that doesn't , you know, *switch*.

I'm sure he was referring to it having built in buttons like a tradition handheld. The dock will 99% be removed in a distant SKU focused on portability. The system will still be dockable but it won't come with a dock. This won't confuse anyone who is actively looking for a Switch "pocket" just as the 2DS doesn't confuse anyone looking for a 3D screen. Nintendo's entire history spits in the face of them being afraid to offer distinct SKU's or taking necessary measures to offer a budget system option.
They removed WiFi from the Wii, they removed 3D from the 3DS, in some regions they actually sold N3DS without a charging cable and they would have removed the gamepad from the Wii U if it wasn't game breaking for 50% of their titles.
