The Switch is modern hardware capable of running many third party games, and it's still missing out on plenty it could viably handle. A Switch Pro won't suddenly get an avalanche of third party games like RE2R , KH3, or ES6, just like the current Switch is still missing RE7, GTA5, Overwatch, Spyro Reignited, etc.

Pretty sure Spyro is coming, Overwatch may happen too. RE7 is on the system but its streaming only, which means Capcom wants to offer it, they just don't want the headache of porting it. If the chip was more equivalent it probably is on the system now with RE2 Remake coming too. GTA5 is probably a no go because Rockstar makes their real $$$ off the online portion of the game and that portion of the game would have problems running on the current Switch (they dumped PS3/360 support for a reason). And who cares if not every developer supports, some would, and Nintendo only needs "some", it doesn't need 800 third party games added per year.

There are only really maybe 20 third party IP that really matter, if Nintendo could get even 7-8 of them that aren't on Switch now, that's a fair positive and helps grow the brand, and a Pro model is going to happen anyway most likely so why not get a little extra content. 

When has a stronger hardware model of an existing system ever resulted in a significant influx of meaningful third party support though? Much less on a Nintendo system?
