Update: Leaker says the new Switch model he teased is next-gen, not a revision, Q1 2024 release

Agreed.  I don't doubt Sony is working on the ps6.  I still think 2024 for a switch 2.  I don't see a pro happening at this point.  

A Switch Pro or a Switch 2 would just be the same thing, except in name.

Just a more powerful console in the Switch family.

That's why I think the best approach to this problematic is to release a new hardware as a pro and then later in its life reveal this same device as the true successor by making exclusives games. Like a new Nintendo 3ds thing but with a considerable upgrade in specs and keeping it longer.

A smooth transition instead of killing the previous gen right from the gate, abruptly forcing the consumers to move. I truly think it will work just right 

1st year: New model, run Switch games at better quality, maybe 1 or 2 exclusives down the road that showcase the new hardware capabilities 

2nd year: Userbase is building, release more exclusives if the game is demanding more than what the og Switch is capable of 

3rd year: Og switch software support getting lower and lower as the consumers transition to the new hardware gets stronger

4th year - beyond: Og Switch no more, New hardware fully embraced
