I've been told by a few people (mostly on forums and Discord servers but still some people) that a Switch 2 that is 5-10x as powerful as the Switch 1 is not viable until after 2023 and that makes me wonder how much of a boost a Switch Pro could actually be. Like, if this a 2x power increase with a 1080p screen, that would be pretty cool but... is that a massive game changer? Would that really help Nintendo get third party ports of PS5 games? Would it make people way more excited about the Switch? Would it allow the Switch to stay competitive in some form with Sony and Microsoft? I think some Switch Pro that's 2x as powerful as the Switch Base and has a 1080p screen would be very cool but... I don't think it would be a game changer at all.
So how powerful could a Switch Pro actually be for a reasonable price? Is the thinking instead that the Switch Pro will have a new connector and will hook up to a dock with a powerful GPU that can upscale games to 4K? What is the exact idea of the Switch Pro? What can be done as of early 2021 and what would be the point exactly?
