Wut? HD Rumble probably cost them $10 or something. Are you implying they could make a 6 inch device match X1/PS4's specs had they abandoned HD Rumble? 

It's incredibly powerful for such a little device. Actually, it's impressive it can handle such good graphics at 30fps at all. lol Don't expect miracles...

The Joy-cons cost $50 each for a reason. That is the same price as one Wiimote was 10 years ago. It has unnecessary technology for only one game (1,2 Switch). They had to compensate power for this and even exclude a game (who buys 1,2 Switch separate for $50 lol) from the console to make it affordable. Instead of the Tegra X1 they could've chosen the Tegra X2 which would make Switch closer to Xbox One in terms of power.

Except the components in HD rumble are pretty common.  Also, even if they shaved $20 off each JoyCon, that wouldn't be nearly enough to free up enough for the X2 and still launch at 299.  The X2 is not affordable right now.
