They could even remove the touch screen for all I care.

I feel completly different.

 

I think the best way what nintendo should do with the switch is NOT making it just a console / handheld but a decent tablet as well. So people who are going to get an iPad Mini or Android Tab might just get the switch because it can do similar/same stuff (media player, netflix, amazon, ebay, web browser, photo and video editing and such) and addionally play console quality like games.

Why pay 299.-$ for an iPad Mini if you can get an as good switch that can also play decent games?

 

I think this was also the main reason the ps2 took off and even the ps3 sold decent. Many people bought this consoles as and DVD/Blue Ray Player that plays games as well. 

This is absolutly true. Consoles and handhelds need to be as versitile as the next device. These extra features justify the purchase for the casual gamers, or people with limited incomes. Stuff like Web brosing, e-mail, phone calls, and texting are a necessity in day to day life. Having these features in consoles and handhelds, would great increase their market value, as they would be capable of handling peoples daily needs. Without those features things like tablets and smartphone stomp all over handhelds and consoles, because they offer the basics. The console and handheld industry need to adapt quickly and take the fight to the competition. 

 

As to the OP. I think Switch is more like a $199.99 handheld. Hopefully Nintendo will take a note from Micorosft and change the marketing of the product to help turn things around. Making the dock optional, and selling the device at $199.99 - $229.99 later this year will help Switch be a successful platform, and keep Nintendo i the hardware business.
