Oh in that case yes!

Im all for a dockless Switch, where the joy-con grips arnt detachtable, and its 1 peice of plastic to save on cost.

Maybe they can also that way get rid of the batteries inside the joycons, and remove the HD rumble too.

Sell it 100$ cheaper or so. 

(but still allow people to buy a dock + procontroller if they wanted to play on tv)

But they can't do that because some Switch games would be incompatible with it (like 1-2 Switch), thus it's a new platform that takes new cartridges.

Sure they can.

All they need to do is just give it a big fat sticker that says "not compatable with motion controll games" or such.

And future (if any) games like 1,2-switch also get a sticker, saying doesnt work with cheapo version of switch.

 

What they cant do is make "new" cartridges ect.

They need scale of mass production, to keep costs as low on cartridged based games as possible.

They need to stick with 1 system.

But they can make a cheaper version of said system, by removeing stuff like HD-Rumble, and detatchable joy-cons ect.
