I already own a Switch. So, no, I will not be buying a less-functional version of the system.



Since I only care about TV play and already own a base Switch, no.

I still think it's a good idea though, as there are a lot of people out there who'll pounce on a cheaper Switch geared for handheld play.

I feel like a lot of people on the internet are still missing the point of the Lite and applying the flawed logic of "if it's not for me, it's pointless".

I can see how the responses on this thread would make it seem so. I don't have any issues with the existence of the Switch Mini, though I still don't understand why Nintendo couldn't just make it dock-compatible. I wouldn't be getting it either way, it's just weird to me that they didn't do it because it doesn't seem like an expensive thing to put on the thing.

Oh I wasn't referring to anyone in this thread, it's just a general comment I seem to see all over the place on Youtube, Facebook, IGN, etc. "What's the point, it's just a worse version of the regular Switch." Apparently these folks don't understand the concept of an affordable entry-level model.



Totally don't need it but have a turquoise pre-ordered.



Nope, not rich enough to needlessly re-buy something I already have.



Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

Totally agree with this, I see so many lame "OMG a Switch that doesn't switch" type posts from casual gamers on social media. 



It’s releasing this Friday (3 days remaining) and so far the best selling switch lite (according to amazon) is the turquoise sitting at number 51 out of 100 of best selling video games/consoles.

Don’t know if the sales are going to be that high, but at least here in Australia eBay plus are selling them for aud$229 which equals to USD 160. The RRP price is aud$299 and $329 for the Pokémon special edition.

Nope. I only play mine hooked up to my tv.



Switch has a larger display... So that automagically discounts the Lite for me.

Waiting on a Switch TV to be honest that rids the Switch of everything that makes it mobile, then I'll jump onto the platform.
