The typical lifetime of a Nintendo console is 5 years (N64 was 1996, GameCube was 2001, Wii was 2006, Wii U was 2012 because the Wii was such a smash success, Switch was 2017). The release cycles have been slowing as of recent but we're far more than 50% in.

They've already announced an enhanced "Switch Pro" and said they hope it "extends the life cycle of the Switch platform for many more years": https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-04/nintendo-...
A rumor != Nintendo announcing a "Switch Pro", your quote was from an analyst, not someone from Nintendo.
