The handheld should strictly be for cheap, "in your pocket" portability. No Joy Cons and no docking. Same with a traditional console Switch machine. It should just be a home console unit that doubles as a dock for people who already own a Switch and that's all. If you want a home console, you get the Switch Pro. If you want a home console experience that isn't shackled to your television screen, you get a Switch. If you want a pocket sized handheld, you get the Switch Lite. Buy whatever Switch device matches your preferences. |
The need for handheld/console-only models depends entirely on the NS's price to me. If it's expensive and doesn't have any major consumer-friendly price-cuts within its first two years (like the Wii-U), then those simplified models would make sense. If it's priced well, then I think Nintendo could just get away with making smaller models that are more battery efficient in the future.
