IN A NUTSHELL:

- The manufacturer expects 12 million customers to buy the console in the first quarter.
New information regarding the more powerful version of the Nintendo Switch console - the so-called Nintendo Switch Pro - has appeared on Bloomberg. The article is only available to subscribers, but its content was summarized in a thread on Reddit. It looks like we can expect a device with processing power onpar with PlayStation 4 Pro or Xbox One X, which will debut later this year (during the holiday season).
The Japanese company expects to sell 12 million units of the new device in the quarter in which the launch will take place, so that the interest in Switch is to remain at a high level, or even slightly increase. If the company manages to achieve this goal, it will mean sales significantly higher than that of PS4 Pro, which in the same period reached only 2 million customers. The console's launch titles are expected to help drive demand, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 likely to be among them.
The text also mentions the potential price of the new console - it may be more than 20% higher than a standard Switch.
