I don't know if Nintendo is really going to target the Switch at the portable market until 2018 in earnest, which I dunno ... seems like a bit of an odd strategy, but it's up to them I guess.

I was thinking about the possibility of Nintendo playing the long game. First cater its fanbase. Then making a price cut on holidays and cater to the handheld market. And I think Switch could be upgradable in the long term, with an upgraded dock with a new GPU. Not sure about that though.

That's what it kinda seems like to me. 2017 is about trying to get Nintendo hardcore to buy the system, 2018 I think you'll see a model revision or a new model added that's smaller and they will start to target the 3DS market more in 2018.
