That's what I've thought since the latest rumors came.

In any case, this puts the Bloomberg articles to shame, because according to those, the Pro should already be in production or close by, but Nintendo won't keep them in a warehouse for 8 months, right?

It's also possible that Nintendo simply canned the project due to the chip crunch.

An considering how Nintendo said time and again that they want to support the Switch for longer than previous Nintendo consoles and handhelds, I seriously doubt they would already bring a successor in 2022. I mean, that would be even shorter than the gap between the releases of the Wii and Wii U...

You don't cancel such project, specially after spending millions in R&D just because the chips could cost $5 or 10 more. Specially Nintendo, that sells its hardware for a profit (and they're still selling the Switch at its launch price 4 years after).

As for the second part... well, they're not going to put their current momentum by saying that they'll stop supporting them in a year, right? Plus there's the option, discussed in some rumors, that games will be developed for the three modes (handheld, TV and Pro) in mind, so even if they launch a new machine, they can still say that they're still supporting the original console as primised.
