Fans of Nintendo, the iconic Japanese house, have long been wondering if the Nintendo Switch Pro will ever come out. For some time, in fact, a successful pro model of the hybrid console (which also exceeded the sales of the 3DS) has been talked about a lot by users and industry experts. Just a few weeks ago, we had anticipated some details related to Switch Pro, but Nintendo's answer, although unclear, seems very firm: if a pro model ever comes, it won't arrive soon.
During a session of Q&A with investors dedicated to the earnings report, Takashi Mochizuki of Bloomberg reported a question asked to the president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, or if the Switch Pro was in the plans of the company. Well, his response was a curt: "Not soon", apparently. Although this curbs the enthusiasm of those who took the console for certain by the end of 2021, the answer leaves the door open to a future announcement; maybe in a year or two. But the situation is not clear at all, as specified at the beginning.
The answer reported by David Gibson (analyst of the videogame business) to the same question, appears very different from that reported by the Bloomberg journalist. In fact, it seems that, according to Gibson, the president of Nintendo replied: "No plans linked to a new model". An answer that effectively closes any glimmer of hope on Switch Pro. Now the question is more than legitimate: "Will Nintendo Switch Pro ever come out?". Only time will answer this question.
