PS4 drop shows how important the Pro model (shortages) are to the PS4.

The Pro and X models are what are keeping the PS4 and XBox sales high.

Nintendo would be well advised to have a Switch Pro ready for 2020 so that they can get a similar hardware boost and prevent against the usual year 4/5/6 drop off.

Hardware refreshes are here to stay. 

Well since Nintendo is the one which truly succeeded in hardware refresh (since Game Boy Color), indeed there is no reason they wouldn't make a new Switch during its lifecycle.
