But why they would do that if they can just make smaller Switch and continue working on exactly same games!? They can make smaller, cheaper, with stronger battery Switch and to continue working on exactly same hardware, OS and games.
Nonsense, of course they can make smaller Switch. Switch Mini/Pocket could have built in Joy Cons, dont need to be exactly same height or size, Switch Mini/Pocket would most likely be just for handheld play. All Switch games that have motion controls also have classic controls support (I think 1,2 Switch is only exception), even ARMS.
Far more logical and far more easier is just to make Switch Mini/Pocket, basically smaller Switch 4-5", with same 720p resolution, with built in Joy Cons, only for handheld play, stronger battery, with price point around $150-200 and of course that plays all Switch games (exept 1,2 Switch), so real Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play. I dont see any reason why Nintendo would do something like you are saying over what I wrote.

Yeah, I'm sure they would have a grand time trying to explain to consumers that "these Switch games only work with these type of Switches and these other Switch games only work with these other kinds of Switches" makes a lot of sense. Sounds a lot like what happened with the Wii/Wii U confusion, and that didn't go over well
How about instead they make a seperate platform, avoid that confusion altogether, give developers more options, and offer full 3DS/DS backwards compatibility in the process?
And for clarity, I'm not saying this is what I believe Nintendo should do, I'm just saying it's a reasonable possibility that shouldn't be dismissed.

Like I wrote, 1,2 Switch is only game that requires to use Joy Cons separate, all other games would works same on base Switch and Switch Mini/Pocket that would have built in controls.
They are no need for any confusion, base Switch, bigger package and much more expensive, it can be used like home console and handheld, Switch Mini/Pocket (or whatever name) that is much smaller, smaller package and much cheaper (around $100), just for handheld play. Don't forget, 2DS dont supports 3D like 3DS, and base 3DS dont support some games that are supported only buy New 3DS.
There are plenty possibilities, but what I wrote is most logical and most likely scenario that Nintendo will do. Also good posibilite is later for Switch XL or PRO, more expensive Switch, with bigger 1080p screen that will run games in portable mode same like is currently running them in docked mode.
