But I'm literally talking about seperate platforms that are extremely easy to port between.... I'm not talking about a 2DS vs a 3DS. I'm talking about a platform that shares the same arcitectual framework as the Switch, as well as a similar operating system, and that's it.

I don't even know why I bother. You read one thing and literally interpret it to mean the opposite of what's it says.

so whats the point of 2 seperate platforms then? literally all of the things you gave as examples earlier can happen with a revision or happen with the existing model.

i dont know why you bother either because you constantly come up with nonsensical arguments.

So your premise is because they can incorporate most of these features into a Switch, it makes no sense to make a 3DS successor. By that same logic the 3DS itself should not exist, because all of the 3DS's features could "happen with" the DS. All my point was is that there are ways if utilizing the arcitecture and OS of the Switch to make porting games between the Switch and a new platform significantly easier than porting between two platforms has ever been before. In doing so, Nintendo, nor third party developers would have to divide the resources, which would still fall in line with Nintendo merging divisions in order to better support the devices they create. How similar that platform in terms of features and performance such a platform would be to the Switch is up to Nintendo. I don't pretend to know what an ideal portable device that's separate from the Switch would look like or function or how distinct it could be from the Switch itself, just that it's reasonably possible that such a device could exist in the future.
