RUMOR: Supply chain sources say a redesigned, more powerful Switch might launch in 2021

The rumor never dies

Rumors of a more powerful Switch, or a 'Switch Pro' have been circulating for years now. We're yet to see anything actually get announced, but that hasn't stopped the rumors from continuing to spread.

Today we have yet another outlet pegging a Switch Pro for release, and they say it could be coming sometime in 2021. The following snippet comes from The Edge Markets.

Today's gains also followed a report in the Taipei-based Economic Daily News that Nintendo might launch a new version of its Switch console early next year, citing unidentified people in the supply chain. A more powerful version of the console has been rumoured in the past.

We've heard this sort of thing before, and obviously nothing has come of it yet. This time around, sources claim the Switch Pro will include 'upgraded interactivity' and a better screen. A Switch Pro does seem like a likely event at some point, but whether it gets released in 2021 is anyone's guess.

Thanks to Sligeach_eire for the heads up!
