The Switch could be make-or-break for Nintendo.

Man, I already consider the NS the 3DS's successor.  It's basically a Nvidia Shield with video-out capabilities regardless of how much Nintendo insists that it's primarily a home console.

The thing is, as a handheld, it's basically the anti-DS.  The DS line was inexpensive (except that time when it wasn't and Nintendo had to slash the price), it was convenient, and it was rugged.  It was kind of cute and a great device for small children.

The Switch doesn't really fill that space very well.

I'm sure after a year or two they can release a Switch Lite which shrinks the overall console to one that can actually fit in your pocket.  Shares the same library as the Switch but with a smaller form factor to emphasize on mobile more.
