New info - Nvidia are apparently going to stop making Switch chips and start making a new Tegra one. I'm not surprised about Switch Pro coming, but ending production of the basic Switch is shocking to me if this is true.

So that would make sense. At some point old tech gets more expensive than newer tech.

Nintendo could completely replace the current Mariko Switch, just like Mariko replaced the original model (or Slim PS3 replaced the fat model). In the end I expect only a small jump in case of power (just like New 3DS to 3DS) to keep the compatibility with the original model. Maybe a few exclusives. The real tech boost should be a new console in 2024.

Nintendo's normal cycle is 6 years. They did less for Wii U because it bombed. I really doubt they will wait to release the next console 7 years after Switch, especially knowing how badly even their great selling devices did in their final year of being the flagship. I predict Switch 2 will launch March 2023. That whole "halfway through its life thing" could be interpreted numerous ways.
