A new dedicated handheld?

A smaller $179.99 portable focused Switch should cover that market quite well. I would look for it to drop around 2020 to make a strong Nintendo presence in the wake of the next PS and XB devices.

True, though I believe there's a market for the $99-129 range as well. The 2DS/2DS XL series has done well and is what is currently pushing sales of the aging system.

 

Let's also not forget marketshare, why settle for 30% when you can have 40-45%. That always looks sweet to investors. 

 

Keep in mind, all this is hypothetical as well as wishful thinking because I love Nintendo handhelds. While I love my Switch, it feels more like a home system than handheld and doesnt completely fill my handheld void.

Switch can get their in time. Nintendo has said they plan to support the Switch ecosystem for a long time. I don't see any reason why a $99.99 Switch Handheld can't happen at some point. More die shrinks, less components, a smaller screen, no dock, lots of cost cutting oppertunity.
