You said itself that they already done that with 2DS and actuality with Switch there will be even bigger need for cheaper version. Like I wrote, huge difference is that Switch has much higher price point than any other Nintendo handheld and already has huge screen, so basically opposite compared to 3DS and DS, and that's exactly why there is no need for bigger of more expensive Switch but actually there will be huge need for smaller and cheaper Switch, especially when 3DS dies.
I really don't see how you cant understand that cheaper Switch will be replacement for for price point that currently held 3DS on market. Currently is too soon, but moment 3DS dies (next year) it will right time.
But point is that will be cheaper Switch when 3DS dies. I am 100% confident in that, because that totally make sense and totally goes with Nintendo plans of one platform with multiple devices that are all part of that same platform. You need to realise that Switch Mini/Pocket is not difrent paltform, it will basically be smaller Switch just for handheld play. There will be Switch Mini/Pocket maybe at end of next year on market. Offcooruse that not all 3DS owner will migrate to Switch or that are willing to pay $300.
Again, Switch compared to 3DS and DS, Switch on launch has much higher price and huge screen, so opposite to DS and 3DS. So they will actually need smaller and cheaper Switch first on market, not more expensive and bigger. You don't need You Cons, you can built in controllers.
Your point is wrong because Wii U actually had games like Batman, Fifa, Call Of Duty, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Need For Speed, NBA...on launch, but those 3rd party that made those games abandoned platform after terrible sales. Those 3rd party start abandoning platform after they saw how bad Wii U sales, Of situation was opposite and Wii U actually selling great, you would see more 3rd party on board.

Done what with 2DS?
All i said it came out at last for a cheaper price tag and that 2DS was 3DS without a 3D screen (i was making a comparison of what you can and can't take out for Switch mini).
Switch Pro doesn't necessarily need a big screen, but it does need better battery and more power (for the reasons i explained in another post).
"Currently is too soon, but moment 3DS dies (next year) it will right time."
They already said they are still thinking about a handheld. It won't come anytime soon.
Second, for some reason you ignored how DS and 3DS were treated. The prices went up, not down, when, by your logic, Nintendo should have placed them at 99-129 (for example) first.
So, i don't understand why you expect Nintendo to bring so soon a cheaper version - and could even they do it in a way that would allow them to cut 100-150 dollars?
Your idea of a Switch Mini has got nothing to do with the family of systems, specially when you take out the joy-cons.
And if Nintendo can sell two Switch models, one at 250 and another at 300, and still be successful at it, why should they have a model at 150-200 and another at 300 and lose profits?
For some reason you assume that lower price points bring costumers that a higher price tag can't bring.
If that was true, sales of PS4 wouldn't be so high right now, yet they are. And i remember reading about how devs weren't expecting gamers to migrate so fast from the old to the new generation.
You are ignoring what the appeal of a product can do to it's sales, the fact that Nintendo has a history (2DS and 3DS) of introducing better and/or more expensive HW and how, by introducing a cheaper Switch, Nintendo would lose price leverage - and profits, too.
Ok, you saw those games at launch and about all those others that were never announced or came out for Wii U (launch window included)?
Decision to fully support a console isn't something you decide based on what the console sells on launch or launch window. Those deals - or lack of them - are made months and years before a launch.
