I read, but it seems you didnt read what I wrote, again, regardless point that Switch could be cheaper $50-100 in around two years, Switch Mini/Pocket could be cheaper than that in any case for around $100. In other words, some people wouldn't want to pay even $250 for current Switch, but they would pay maybe $150 for Switch Mini/Pocket.

New 3DS XL cost $200 but 2DS costs $80, so they having lower price point, higher price point, and middle price point. In Switch case, Switch Mini/Pocket would be lower price point. I believe that around year and 1.5-2 years Nintendo will release Switch Mini/Pocket for price point of around $150-200, current Switch will not have lower price point than $250 (most likely that will be price of holiday 2018. for current Switch).

You are totally wrong, you dont take any value from product, you expand offer and price point of that product, its not like current Switch will stop selling. Why Nintendo relased 2DS, why Nintendo relaesed, New 3DS, why Nintendo relased New 3DS XL, why Nintendo relased New 2DS XL!? Nintendo will most likely use Tegra X2 for Switch versions in any case, so stronger battery life and less heat is given in any case, including small form factor. Switch Mini/Pocket doesnt need dock, doesnt need deatchible Yoy Cons, doent need to parts requred to work with dock, doesnt need HDMI cable, big package...you acting like Nintendo never done something similar, while you have 2DS that costs $80 while New 3DS XL is $200.

 

You are not very well informed, I guess Nintendo really is magician. :D

Thats point, its not only point what Nintendo done with 3DS, but point that with Switch like hybrid device and like one unifeded platform, Switch will have plenty of different types of hardware revisions that will be part of same platform, and offcoures they will have lower price point Switch when 3DS dies.             I never thought that Splatoon will flop, from moment I played test demo I realised that game has huge potential.

We can only wait and see, but I am 90% sure we will have cheaper, smaller Switch just for handheld play in around 1.5-2 years (it will be ready for launch when 3DS dies).

Huh, didnt know about the screen.I admit I was wrong about that detail.But that doestn change the fact that just because the 2DS doesnt have a clamshell design it makes like a different form factor than the DS.Thats simply and factually wrong.Dont know why you are trying to win "points" trying to make every single argument you give as factually wrong.This is not a competition.

Look, even if you are being a blockhead and not even admitting that my arguments are sound and being quite honestly annoying saying nonsense like the 2DS stuff(Its like saying that the Wii mini is not a Wii because the design is different, or that the PS4 slim is not a PS4 because it is smaller), what we are arguing about are two likely scenarios that might happen.While I dont believe that what you are saying will come to pass, and vice versa, both sides have reasonable arguments behind them and at the end of the day, we cant actually get to a conclusion on what if scenarios.Lets just leave this one to time to decide who will be right or who will be wrong.Agreed?

Of Course that 2DS has very different form factor than 3DS, they dont look same at all. Its not point about winning points but about point that you arguing but you are not very well informed.

First, I am not being blockhead, second I never said that 2DS is not 3DS, but on contrary, my point is that 2DS is part of 3DS family despite is quite different than rest of 3DS family, and that will go for Switch Mini/Pocket also, despite its will different to current Switch it will still be part of Switch family. Like I wrote, I am 90% sure we will have cheaper, smaller Switch just for handheld play in around 1.5-2 years (it will be ready for launch when 3DS dies), you dont think we will have Switch Mini/Pocket and thats opposite of what I saying so offcourse I cant agree with you and your arguments, but offcourse, there are some chanches that we will not get Switch Mini/Pocket and that you are right, but IMO they are minimal, like 10%, at end we can only wait and see.
