The Joy Cons cost about $90 to make!

I really doubt it, but if true it would be a very compelling reason for Nintendo to offer a "Switch Lite" (handheld version with non separable sticks + buttons an without rumble HD) as soon as possible.

Remove the Joycons, the dock, the screen and give me a little box that plugs into my TV.

Call it the "Stay With It Together Its Home" and sold!

You forgot removing the battery. ;)

Yeah, a not portable version with the same performance and the pro controller should be even cheaper to make.

• normal Switch (portable + docking station + joy-cons) = $299
• handheld Switch (portable + connectable to TV with HDMI... similar to the later PSP models) = $199
• home Switch (little box with power supply + HDMI cable + Pro controller) = $199

This way home console fans who don't need the portable option and handheld fans who don't need the docking comfort + rumble effects wouldn't have to pay for features they don't need.
