I was talking more about a New 3DS/DSi/PS4 Pro type update where the technical guts are substantially upgraded.

Gotcha, i could see a DS Lite/3DS XL type of revision at some point in the 2nd half of 2017 with a DSi/New 3DS in 2019/2020 like you said.

I also wouldnt be surprised to see Nintendo release a home only or portable only model at some point.

Yeah, I'm thinking it'll be a lot like 3DS; a Lite type deal in 2018, then a New 3DS type deal in 2019/2020. The latter could run games with better resolution or framerate, like N3DS and PS4 Pro.

If it's true that Nintendo was in too big a hurry to wait for Pascal with the standard Switch, and went with Maxwell instead, it wouldn't be surprising to see Pascal adopted in a later revision.
