You and soundwave  reiterating that...

Why seperate 3DS successor  means automatically segregated librady? Switch and ''HDS'' can have the same games, you know... And If you think then, that one of the devices would be redundant , read below.

 

Hybrid console is screwing  those people who don't care for home gaming on tv, were they buying 3DS at 250$ ? ;)... 

It's perfect for home console gamers, because they will have the option to continue the game that they were playing on tv lying on sofa, anywhere else inside/outside  home and in every way they want, also for those who like both gaming styles, because for only 250$ you have a hanheld and stationary console...

Nintendo has cited that they won't sell the handheld device standalone... And if they would, the machine is too elongated! Certaintly that thing which releases  on march shouldn't replace 3DS, they should make a cheaper, more portable  and maybe weaker switch mini redisign without the dock as soon as possible, albeit that wouldn't be switch, switch is two consoles, this would be a seperate 3ds successor even if it had the switch brand.

More than 6-7m million and counting,  people have bought a 2DS!

The TV dock barely adds anything to the cost of the Switch I'd bet. 

Switch is basically the evolution of the Nintendo portable line hardware wise

GBA = portable SNES+ 

Nintendo DS = portable N64/PSOne

3DS = portable PS2/GCN

Switch = portable 360/Wii U+

It's where the Nintendo portable line was going anyway, the only thing is once you get to 360/PS3 tier graphics, those graphics look good enough on a TV, so you might as well have a TV output option. That doesn't make the system cost 2x more or something. 

Nintendo console enhusiasts are really the ones getting the shaft here, if you only play at home, you are being given a "console" that is hugely compromised for portable play and paying for a bunch of stuff (LCD display, built-in battery) that you don't need. 

Nintendo portable fans don't have much/anything to complain about, this is the 3DS successor. What would a "HDS" even be? A dual screen PS3/360. Well that's basically what Switch is, it just gives you one large screen insead of dividing things up into two smaller displays. 

HDS should be that... 3DS X TABLET Keeping common library as it has more advantages than disadvantages* , needless to mention them since you have covered me in previous comments of yours.

* ( the only is if mario kart 9 on hybrid would sell as much mario kart 9 on home console and Mario kart 10 on handheld consoles would sell combined )

  

 

Perfect for those who love dual screens and for those who find clamshell design embarassing!

 

Personlly, I'm fearing of many 3DS ownrs who don't care about home consoles won't be buying switch which may seem to them  pricey and not very portable! There is huge risk, Nintendo handheld console unlike home console are always commercially successful business for Nintendo... ;)
