There is no need for a "Switch Pro", and no need for a Switch successor before 2023 at the earliest.

The market is clearly happy with the level of power the Switch offers. Graphics aren't what people are buying it for, nor are AAA multiplats, so the idea that it needs to be stronger and get PS5/Scarlet ports to stay relevant is simply wrong.

Things can change in a hurry, Wii went from a top brand to a brand that was fizzling out in about 2 years flat. 

Nintendo systems often look strong in year 3 ... by year 4/5 it can quickly be a different story. 

Past trends are not an indicator of how Switch will perform, both the system and its circumstances are unlike any prior Nintendo system, and in particular very unlike the Wii.
