I see no sense in Nintendo Switch, it`s a terrible idea

Its not the most cost effecient way to get performance pr $ in a console.

It limits what you can do with the system.

Unless consoles reach a point where consumers go "we dont want better graphics than this", I doubt what your saying is true.

Maybe every nintendo system in the future follows the switch design, handheld + dock? I could see that.
Their basically leaveing the homeconsole market at the topend, to playstation & xbox to fight out.

It's not farfetched tbh, the gaming market is split into 3 branches with home, portable and mobile, each gen the numbers in each branch are becoming compact, Switch's design unifies all of that. Eventually platform holders will either be forced to release such a device to have a userbase sizable enough to support growing costs or become a niche focused on one branch, it's not really graphics that are selling the platforms.

It's not just consoles I can see adopting this design either.
