Of course it's work, but it's a lot less work than porting a WiiU game on 3DS.  You don't have to start from scratch to rebuild the game.

I will always think that the extra costs is nothing in comparison to having two devices instead of one. They could have easily used the full capacity of the tegra, even push it to ore than 1 Tflops and 8 GB of ram, so that they could have the same architecture but something on par with the Xbox One.

They could have sold more devices, the Switch handheld would have been a handheld instead of a hybrid, making it a real successor to the 3DS and having only the mobile market as a competitor.

And the switch home would have been a cost effective solution to compete in the home console market, it would have live off the back f the handheld, and could have easily received ports of third parties AAA

That's a way better solution if Nintendo's strategy is to actually increase their market shares.

 

Mark my words, the Switch will sell less than the 3DS, and it will not be the only device Nintendo releases during the next 2-3 years

There will be Switch revisions and maybe TV only model like the PS TV sure. 

If you think there will be an entirely different Nintendo platform on top of the Switch in 2-3 years ... I gotta say I think hell no is that happening. 

Nintendo wouldn't be able to able to support said platforms, and what would that system even be? An 8 TFLOP hardcore console? C'mon. That'll happen right after Nintendo takes 10 years making a Zelda game that actually utilizes its power. 

Switch is it for Nintendo. If it goes, then IMO so goes Nintendo hardware for the most part. You might get like a cheap Game Boy type platform, but largely I think they would move on to other platforms, or maybe even just make a Nintendo controller for smartphones/tablets and let that be that. 

Never said anything about an entirely different platform, that wouldn't make any sense. You keep saying stuff I didn't say, stay on point dude.
