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. 

I think so. They can sell all the Switches on profit this year relying on Nintendo's fans. The real game will begin on holidays, because it's obviously the best period for hardware sales. That's at least why I expect. They're also relying on us to beta test their online services and make sure everything works fine. At least, that's what I feel. We'll see if that's the case on December.

The main issue I have about a new powered dock later is (as I said in the edited post before) the difference in power. You could divide again your userbase. So I'm still doubtful about that rumour.
