I think things would've worked out differently if Nintendo hadn't messed up the naming of the Wii U. We probably would've had a line up like this:

• Wii
• Wii Pro (Wii U)
• Wii Portable (Switch)

They're at that crossroad again with the Switch name. What do you think the Switch successor should be called? Keep the Switch name or nah?

They'll probably continue down the route that has been theorized off and on for the past few years.

Likely end up with a 'Switch Pro' that can run slightly more intensive games. Games will start out supporting better graphics/etc on the pro, and eventually a few games will release exclusively for the Pro edition, they'll eventually cut the price of the pro, maybe release something in a switch lite form factor and discontinue sales of the regular switch and the original edition will just slowly fade away.
