Well Nintendo denies new hardware iterations often, even when they're working on them or at least considering them. Didn't they say this in 2019, only months before the Switch Lite launched?
If we still somehow get a Switch Pro, it won't be this year. Switch OLED is out in October, and they're not gonna release a Switch Pro in November or December after constantly denying it this late into the year.
2021 was one of the last possible years to release a Switch Pro. Even if the Switch 2 doesn't come out until 2024 (which is likely), a mid-gen power upgrade 5 years after the platform launched is pushing it. I don't think that's ever happened. I know some people see the Game Boy Color as that, which took forever. But I still see the Color as a successor to the original Game Boy.
