Yeah its pretty obvious a new Switch is in the works.
Going to say they're gearing up for Switch 2 next year (Q4). By which time it will be just over 5 years since the NSW launch, which sounds about right for a Nintendo hardware cycle.

The Pro term is a Sony thing, it will not be a new model of Switch, probably a Switch 2 but that will be in 2024/25.

Yeah, is this for an upgraded Switch or the successor to the Switch? Or will it be like a Game Boy Color situation where the line between successor and refresh is blurred?
^ Nintendo are releasing a refresh model of the Switch, which is due next month. The OLED is essentially the DSi/3DS XL of this gen. This is will be the successor.

A news report on Sept. 30, 2021(JST) falsely claims that Nintendo is supplying tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support. To ensure correct understanding among our investors and customers, we want to clarify that this report is not true. (1/2)

"We also want to restate that, as we announced in July, we have no plans for any new model other than Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, which will launch on October 8, 2021. (2/2)"

I remember that. The Switch OLED is supposed to be the final Switch model.
So... Everything debunked?

Nintendo has called a report false before when it was actually true, if I recall. I think it was with the release of the New Nintendo 3DS? Or the XL? I can't really remember, it's been a while and I don't want to spend the time looking it up.
So I wont exactly take everything Nintendo says at face value.
I'm inclined to believe Bloomberg. This guy would be committing career suicide at this point if he's just making all this up ... he's citing ELEVEN developers and even specifically naming one of them outright. He got the OLED screen, exact screen size, and 720p resolution exactly correct last time it looks like he just thought/assumed there was one model here.
I think Nintendo is "stretching" the truth here because these dev kits are for a Switch 2. Which isn't a Switch. In the same way a 3DS is not a DS. It's a completely new product category technically. So they're not "lying", but they're not being entirely honest either because they want everyone to buy the OLED Switch.
