Nintendo can't do as well as they did with the swtich without a failure somewhere. Such as the way of the Nintendo universe. Wii U, Virtual Boy, Game Cube. I think they are due.

I hope it's just "Switch Pro"
I doubt it. Next year the Switch will be 7 years old. That's firmly in "next generation" territory.
The new console should be backwards compatible (and if Nintendo have any sense at all, boost framerates for Switch games), but I wouldn't expect new games to keep coming out for the old Switch once the new one picks up a decent number of users.
Yeah but Nintendo doesn't seem interested in pushing hardware. Just being well "Nintendo"

These fuckin cunts just 2 months ago claimed there is no next gen console in the works
I remember back in the 90s N64 magazines were always posting rumors about the "Dolphin" console that Nintendo was supposed to be developing, which eventually became the Gamecube. Nintendo also was more open back then, with their famous Mario 128 tech demo for example. Also the Nintendo DD rumors were huge as well, which turned out to be a big failure and never released outside of Japan.
I mean, they kind of have to do that, or else you get the Osborne Effect where everyone just waits for the new version, and your business suffers.
ETA: also, source? They usually say they won't comment, or that there's always something new in development at all times. Don't they?
Let this be true.
