Nintendo Switch SP could be possible with just a Tegra X1

Just call it a very unbold prediction.  Imho, it wouldn't make sense when looking at their current strategy. 

A Switch that doesn't Switch wouldn't be like a 2DS.  It would be like a 3DS with one screen.  It would be a fundamental alteration to its core design concept.

My point was they have the whole Switch brand firmly built around one, single principle: it can switch between handheld and home console.  I doubt they will deviate from that and looking at current sales it seems foolish to do so. 

Though removing a screen from a ds/3ds would make a large number of games unusable, Switch games are already designed to be playable on a TV. I think that if they can get the price low enough by removing the screen, battery and the seperate dock, it could have a very good impact on sales. Lowering the price of entry does wonders.

Though as a prediction, you may be right that it will not happen.

If that were sufficient reason they would have done it already.  Removing all that wluld drop it under 200, maybe lower.  If that's not enough, I doubt it ever will *be* enough.
