Did people say all of what before PS4 Pro and Xb1X? Those systems were made to play games in 4k. They don't play different games than the base versions of those systems, or make the base versions obsolete for certain games unless you get some peripheral. They are purely for people who want to play in 4k. No user base splintering or confusing cheap marketing gimmicks to make games that can play in 4k be able to be played not in 4k.
Iterative hardware is totally not uncharted waters. Nintendo portable systems (i guess except a little bit with Game Boy Color) have never been splintered into certain games working with certain versions, and having to buy random peripherals to get the games to work with other versions. All versions of 3DS play the same games except for apparently like 2 to 5 games. New 3DS wasn't launched to make 3DS owners obsolete and get more downgraded ports of more powerful systems.
What you are describing in a Switch Pro (a much more powerful system) is a Switch 2. Also you are saying that next gen games will somehow be ported to the original Switch if there is a much more powerful new version of the Switch that splinters the userbase because somehow despite not getting much in the way of ports from PS4/Xb1 it will somehow get ports from newer far more powerful systems. So a new portable system will be strong enough to get ports from new games of also brand new home consoles and therefore those same next gen home console games will get ported to an older portable system....just because....in this theoretical world power differences mean nothing and suddenly this year portable systems will be on par with home consoles released the same year and magically those games will transfer down to less powerful older portable systems?
Like seriously your post has zero logic in it. No offense. Just wishful fairy and dreams type thinking not based in physical reality.

Dude I seriously had to re-read what you wrote 3x and its not that deep I promise...
: XboxOne and PS4 are at 150 million+ install base (developers will continue to include these in the development cycle)
: If a "theoretical" Switch Pro is close in spec to PS4, that's a easier path to OG Switch possibly getting a port later.
All anyone in this entire post about this article are doing is speculating right now, so if you choose to take something as a matter of fact. That's all on you not me!

No, a much more powerful system getting a port does not mean a much less powerful system has a better chance of getting the same port. There's no logical flow there. And does anyone really think a PS4 level Switch is gonna happen? That is a Switch 2, not a Switch Pro. I don't even see why anyone would speculate about that. Those two power levels are far too disparate to call the same system. They would play entirely different games, how do I know...because PS4 and Switch play entirely different games! Switch gets a few greatly graphically downgraded versions of PS4, they don't play the same games.
You're even talking about them (Switch and Switch Pro) as two different systems, saying the Switch Pro would get a port and then maybe later OG Switch would get a port, but you're pretending like you're talking about the same system.
