Market-wise, makes all sense. Get much more impulse buyers, and profit the same, cos theyd latter buy the acessories.
But the name of the console is switch because it is intended to switch between the screens. so, makes no sense concept-wise.
I bet in releasing a new version. switch mini or something like that. Doesnt come with the dock station, but with a smaller screen, and fit a pocket. And still get the switch concept, but kinda different. You can switch between the actual switch in horizontal screen and in vertical screen. In vertical mode, it would act as a 2DS, and support 3DS BC titles. 3DS titles would still be avaliable for 1 or 2 years, and that would also help the transition between 3DS and switch, and marketing with both switch and 3DS games.
2 distinct products based on switch concept, that run also the same switch library. One of them is first and foremost a home console, and other is first and foremost a handheld. But both serve as the other conterpart.
