The Switch is not another Wii U!

@ OP - I think Nintendo is still developing their next handheld to replace the 3DS. You gave a good reason why the Switch won't replace the 3DS in your remarks that Nintendo would be financially stable if their home console failed but not their handheld division. The battery life is not good enough to be considered a replacement to the 3DS, although I think most people play 3DS at home, but still. Nintendo isn't going to lump those two together for multiple reasons. But I could be wrong.

OR OR OR maybe Nintendo's next handheld could act as a replacement for the Switch controller but not mandatory to be used with Switch. Sounds kind of gimmicky actually...

It will replace the 3DS once 3DS stops selling and Switch sales pick up. I'm expecting a handheld only model after a while to do just that. At this point it isn't replacing the 3DS.

What kind of a system would the handheld be that would work as a Switch controller? I mean it's already portable and the connectivity (similar to GBA-GC) is already done by multiple Switches being able to connect wirelessly.

Something tells me Nintendo isn't waiting for the Switch sales to 'pick-up'. We don't know how successful Switch will be and Nintendo isn't just going to cut their revenue sources from videogames in half. I could be completely wrong here but I believe Nintendo would rather have the Switch be successful as well as have a successful dedicated handheld throughout the 9th gen instead of just the Switch.

I don't know what kind of handheld would work as a Switch controller, it was just a stupid idea that randomly popped in my head...
