If anything it's people who are obsessive compulsive about hardware linearity that have been proven wrong quite a bit. 

Portable only Switch that doesn't Switch couldn't happen because issues. 

PS4 Pro and XB1X when first rumored, you had a bunch of people saying you can't do that because that hasn't been done before. 

2DS version of the 3DS can't happen. 

Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

If anything, these companies have shown they don't give a shit what a whiny small portion of the fanbase thinks just because they are obsessed with some stupid notion of brand uniformity. 

A pro model would certainly make Nintendo a lot of money, just like pro models have made Sony and MS a lot of money. 

If you got to break an egg or two to make an omelette, so be it. 

This post doesn't follow the argument you're attempting to make.

None of the things you just mentioned have anything to do with splintering a user base and forcing people to buy and carry around battery packs to play certain games. None of the things you listed break systems ability to play the games released for those systems, or force them to buy peripherals to play games.

I am quite sure Nintendo will release a Pro model of the Switch. But that's not what you have been pushing. You've been pushing battery packs and creating two different game libraries for the same system. I think you must work for the battery pack industry, otherwise your obsession with this makes no sense.

It would really only be OG Switch users. Even the new model Switch the one that's out now could accomodate higher performance undocked with no battery extension needed, the battery life would simply go back in line with the old Switch. 

I mean for $15 if you could suddenly access a lot of PS4/XB1 content that was previously locked out, I would say that's a pretty substantial win, imagine PS4/XB1 owners had the option of a $15 plug in device that let them play a bunch of PS5/XB2 tier games all of the sudden ... you think they'd be upset? 

No fucking way, lol, a lot of people would be over the moon if given that option. That's highway robbery in favor of the consumer and it would dramatically extend the lifecycle of the PS4/XB1 if something like that were possible.
