They slated Switch was entering it's midlife last year, i highly doubt they will release the Pro as a "successor" a year or so after that statement they actually said like 3 times. Some sources said It appears that they might give up the regular model after a year or 2 to focus on the revision. But i doubt they would give up on the potential to sell the original Switch model at a much lower cost to attract the more budgetary audience. Which let's be real, i'm sure the Switch could be sold at 200$ right now and they would still profit. It is 4 years old and in mass production and they had a profit from the start on each units. I do think they might give it a price cut this year, you don't have to wait till the sales are down to act on it. Reducing the price before hand would make sure the momentum doesn't slow down.
I do think if they release a pro model this year, then a price drop for both the lite and og are mandatory. I can't see them selling the revision to more than 350$... maybe it will end up being 399 but i highly doubt they will venture there knowing this is the price of a PS5 digital edition and 100$ higher than a Series S. And so with 350$, the OG cannot coexist at it's original price, it would be literally pointless. So i expect a price cut for the OG to 250$, and Switch lite to 175$ or 150$ if they feel bold.
