So we have fairly big threads for the other two, but no Switch? Are people playing it close to the chest due to the Switch Pro/lite fiasco? Or just really no information at all?

So why no Switch 2/Next speculation?

I wouldn't really expect discussion until we're a year or two out from the Switch successor. The Switch is almost 3 years old & is a successful console, I'd imagine that it'll get a solid 5-6 years.
With other two you mean ps5 and series x? Yeah they are announced, switch 2 isn't anything concrete yet etc will be a couple of years
PS4 and XB1 are 2013 machines, the Switch came out in 2017 and is selling like made.
Give it 3 years.

Switch is relatively recent, still on the upwards trajectory of sales and game releases, not to mention printing money for Nintendo. Maybe in 2022.
This thread just made me realize how incredible the Switch has been and there is such massive room for improvement on top of that. I'd say mid next gen or a little before that point.
Wonder what tech they'd use, ideally I think aiming for base PS4 power is realistic.

the Xbox is coming out next year and PS5 is very close as well, there's not even a hint of speculation that nintendo is working on a successor and there's no reason to at the moment while the install base continues to surge up

The fiasco of various videogame websites and insiders predicting Switch Pro only for it to not be a real thing.
The thing isn't coming out until 2022 at the earliest.
By then, it should be possible to get PS4+ performance docked I would think.

That's not a fiasco. That's basic predicting.
A fiasco would be Nintendo announcing it, taking pre-orders, and then cancelling it.
Yeah I do hope we get a pro of some sorts. Nintendo is going to fall way behind on ports, and Xbone and PS4 will mostly be phased out by end of 2022.
Best bet for a pro is a 7nm EUV chip from Nvidia partner with Samsung. We should get close to PS4 specs with similar battery life as switch. Tegra x1 won't cut it. Hopefully mobile ampere. Q1 2021 at the latest, if a pro is in the works.

It's been said a dozen times, but Nintendo claimed the Switch would last for 7-10 years, so its way too far out.
