I guess it depends. For Nintendo, they priced the Switch and developed it as it is with the idea that they are not gonna sell the console at a loss. They’ll lower the price in the future but it’ll depend on demand and whether or not they can still gain profit once the price goes down and they got as much out of the $300 price point.
As for the new Switch handhelds or XL, I’m not sure. The point of the “Switch” concept is the ability to “switch” between playing on the TV and on the go. Getting rid of either one of those options will defeat the purpose of naming it the Switch. Casual consumers will probably get confused when they get these types of consoles, asking “why can’t I play it on the TV” or “why can’t I play it on the go?” It would have to take an extreme marketing venture to differentiate these versions to the original Switch.
