Digital Foundry: The long rumored “Switch Pro”. was cancelled internally to focus on the successor.

Didn't it launch at the same time on both? That won't be the case here unless the new Switch is dropping in May.

It was announced early in the Wii U's life cycle. Like 2013. By the time it was almost finished the Switch was announced.

The problem with a mobile console is that you have to put battery life over power first and foremost. To that end, I don't know what corners they will cut, but they do have some work to do, with the hardware and online software.

Theres always gonna be a sacrifice of something with the hybrid concept, either its gonna be form factor/size, Power consumption, or Cost (or a combination)….3 things that make the Switch successful.

People thinking the next switch is gonna be ps4 pro level are fooling themselves. There’s a reason the steamdeck is twice the size of the switch and has half the battery life. You can’t have it all, especially if Nintendo doesn’t want to drastically raise the price of their consoles next gen
