What would you say if Nintendo actually presents a Switch Pro very soon and actually release it still in this fiscal year?

I would say that anything resembling a Switch Pro would be like the New 3DS.  It was an upgrade that mostly boosted the battery life with some other minor improvements.  It will not be designed to play games that the Switch already can't play.

The idea that Nintendo needs a more powerful system to play AAA third party games was originally called "Wii HD".  This was an extremely moronic idea, because the Wii was already the most successful system the way it was.  Why did it need to change in order to play AAA third party games?  People like Michael Pachter talked about Wii HD for years, and it never caused Nintendo to release a successor prematurely.  Finally, 6 years after the Wii's launch, Nintendo released the Wii HD, i.e. the Wii U.  It was an HD system powerful enough to play AAA third party games.  It was a horrible flop.

The Switch Pro is like the Wii HD only it's even more moronic.  Why?  Because we should have already learned our lesson by now.  We already saw that Wii HD is a terrible idea.  Nintendo doesn't need a more powerful system to play AAA games.  The Switch is already extremely successful just the way it is.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
