There’s no doubt next console version is in R&D, question is, when are they going to release it.
With all the rumours of Switch Pro, even from some respectable insiders, it seems there was plan of Switch Pro but it was cancelled. So, they are definitely working on next console, but when and how they release them is still a question.
Personally, I am excited for next iteration, and afraid that Nintendo might step away from Switch design for some other gimmick.
I’d put money on 2024 at the earliest. Don’t want to ruin a holiday game sales season by basically giving customers a reason not to buy stuff this holiday and save for the fancy new console. Announcing early 2024 will allow people to still do that saving over the year (assuming a holiday 2024 launch) while not potentially sabotaging this year’s sales.

Phew, Switch was 2 years between announcement and release, roughly 18 months between WiiU announce and Release, Similar to the Wii.
So If I had to guess, they’ll either Announce in the September Nintendo Direct, or the one following, start of 2024
