It wouldn't be a Switch. A Switch has joy con controllers. This wouldn't. A Switch has gyroscopes and accelorometers. This wouldn't. A Switch has the ability to be connect to your television via a dock and utilize an added performance mode. This wouldn't. A Switch has the ability to connect multiple controllers for local multiplayer. This wouldn't. A Switch plays Switch game carts. This wouldn't. A Switch doesn't play 3DS/DS game carts. This would. There could be other hardware features this console has that the Switch doesn't have, such as multi-handheld internetless multi-player, or control schemes such as a more accurate, multi-capacitive touch screen that developers could develop specifically to utilize if they so choose

It's similar to a Switch but not a Switch. It would be very easy to co-develop for both the Switch and this platform, to develop for the switch and this other platform seperately. It gives both potential consumers and developers more options to buy something that suits their needs.

sounds like the most pointless thing in the world when a simple revision could handle most of these things.

A revision can lack Joy-Cons.

A revision doesnt have to be able to hook up to a TV or have increased performance.

Switch could incorporate DS/3DS backwards compatibility digitally like XBO does with 360 or Wii U does with Wii & DS.

Multi-handheld internetless multiplayer i believe already exists on Switch.

Nintendo cant make a revision without Joy-Cons but they can make a backwards compatible 3DS successor without gyrometer/accelerometers?

 

Honestly at this point it feels like you are arguing for the sake of argument

This.

Despite it would "co-develop" its would still be seperate platform, Nintendo again would suporting two platforms, not just with games, and with updates and improvements...but with marketing and market push, for developers and for Nintendo itself of course it would be much easier just to continue working on Switch games that will be working on Switch Mini/Pocket or Switch XL (same like like 3DS family and 3DS games), than "co-develop" for onother platform. So why Nintendo would do that when Switch revision could do all thing that are mentione above, so what exactly would be point of separate platform where Nintendo would need to co-develop games, basically makin new lineup for this platform when they just continue releasing games on Switch!? It donest make any sense.
