Nintendo Switch SP could be possible with just a Tegra X1

Anyone who is pining for a "Switch Lite" or a "Switch TV" is plain and simple missing the whole point of what Switch is and why Nintendo made it.  Nuvendil is 100% on point.  Basically what you guys are asking for is a totally different (2nd) Nintendo console...and if Nintendo ever decides to deliver that type of product again, it can't be "Switch".  Switch was purposefully designed and made to be exactly what it is, a hybrid console.  If it doesn't do both, it's not a Switch.  They bet big on this form factor, and it is paying off in spades.  There is no reason for them to deviate from this, and I don't see Nintendo going back to a standard box console for a couple generations, if ever.  There may be some slight chance of having a dedicated handheld successor to DS...but that would undermine their efforts to have unified development teams and streamlining their delivery of software, so I honestly do not see them going that route either.  Switch is quite easily portable and it has the power to play home console games.  Why would anyone want a smaller form factor (and thus weaker hardware) that would not be able to play home console quaIity titles just for the sake of being slightly smaller?  That's going backwards instead of moving forward, imo.  I believe with the success of this form factor, this is the direction Nintendo will stay with for quite some time.  Alongside their unique software, it is what differentiates them from the competition and makes them relevant in the industry.  A standard box or another weak handheld is not enough for them to succeed anymore.
