I'm really hoping all these rumors just ends up being a more powerful dock and Nintendo can just keep cost low by continuing making the OG Switch, and also keep OG Switch owners happy :P

And besides, if its a new model...3 different model in 4 years seems....desperate? But then again times are changing, and maybe since Switch is more of a handheld and similar to mobile devices they'll start making a new model every year? lol jk

Xb1 had 3 different models in 4 years, PS4 had 3 different models in 3 years. 3ds has 3 different models in 3 and a half years aswell. That’s just the way things work and I really don’t get the wording of “desperate” 

The difference is PS4 and Xbox One OG waited 3 years until their next model and it seems that was the end of it, no more new models after that. Switch Lite isn't even a year old and already talks of another model.  And Nintendo never mentioned another or more powerful model to be released after the Switch Lite when they decided to release the Lite, whereas Sony and MS did.

Also, the PS4 slim/PS4 Pro & XB1 S/XB1 X, they were release either simultaneously or shortly after, but they were released with both models informed together to the public can choose their preference. Unlike Nintendo where they just released a new model and keeping it silent about another model coming shortly later.

I only say 'desperate' because it looks like Nintendo wants to release another model to bump heads with the release of PS5/XBSX, when they head just released a new model recently, they couldn't even let the Lite sink in yet.  If Nintendo were to play it the way Sony and MS have been doing it then they should've held back on the release of the Lite and announce to release the Lite and the Switch Pro together and both to be released 2021 for consumers to choose from.

If this is the new normal then I'm just not familiar with it quite yet, and then maybe I shouldn't get the Switch Pro because after a year of it's release Nintendo may surprise us again with a Switch 2 or something.  

But if the rumor of a Switch Pro is false then everything I've said means nothing so we can all disregard this later (or can disregard right now, it's just my opinion on the matter is all lol)
