What would such a system even be?

3DS = roughly a portable PS2/GameCube

Switch (undocked) = a portable PS3/Wii U

Something in between the two would be pointless and simply keep Nintendo's top games (ie: Splatoon, BoTW, Mario Odyessy) away from a big chunk of their audience. 

You might as well just take the Tegra X1, die shrink it to 16nm or 10nm and make a smaller 3DS XL size model if that's what you're dying to have. You'd actually have to pay more money to develop a new chip that's inferior for no reason. 

Who said it had to be less powerful? It just would need to be cheaper and most importantly, accept different cartridges.

So you want a 3DS successor thats more powerfull than a switch.... but cheaper?

If that was already possible, why didnt nintendo just do that from the start?
