I believe Nintendo will bring out a New Nintendo Switch next year. It will be more powerful (everything from slightly to substantial is possible) but it will not be a Switch 2, even when it should be substantially more powerful, Nintendo will count it to the "Switch Gen 1 family". I just think it would be insane to bring out a true successor (Switch 2) in 2024 already (2023 is anyway out of discussion) because semiconductor shortage will remain a problem even into 2024. Even if the shortage should be solved soon, semiconductor will be priced higher than usual (before the shortage) as the demand is very high. Nintendo doesn't want to pay high prices. On the other hand, an upgraded Switch will keep the sales going and production will not be an issue as the demand for an upgrade will be by far lower than for a true Switch 2.
