Do you plan to buy a Switch OLED model?

You will be happy they didn't do that in 2023 when they release the Switch 2. If they really pushed the Pro like that, no way they cut its life short before Nintendo could maximize profits by selling its more powerful software lineup that costed more to develop. We'd probably have to wait until 2024-2025 for Switch 2 if we got an actual Pro. Forget about the Pro, look forward to Switch 2 :)

Nintendo said they wanted a longer than normal generation and releasing a Switch 2 in 2023 would be a pretty standard console life cycle. I think we're going to be waiting until 2024-2025 regardless, so I would certainly like a Pro to tide me over until we get the next gen Switch.

If it was a "regardless" situation, sure. But I think, if Switch 2 is planning to release 2024/2025 with the OLED coming October 2021, then if they had a Pro coming in 2021 instead of OLED that date would get pushed back to probably 2025/2026 for Switch 2, which would suck. If they make more powerful games that run exclusively on Switch Pro to take advantage of its hardware, they will need time for enough people to get Switch Pros in order to buy enough of said software to make the profits they will want to make off those games. The fact that they have OLED coming instead, with no exclusive software, means they won't have software relying on specific iteration hardware sales to grow to a certain point to turn enough profit.

And do you have a link for them specifically saying that (quotes, no mistranslations or paraphrasing)? I only ask because we've heard a lot about what Nintendo says over the years and often we translate incorrectly.
