I always hold my ground if I believe something to be true or history dictates a high degree of chance for it happening. :P

And I actually think it's a good thing that Nintendo can potentially make so many variants of the Switch to appeal to different markets and demographics.

I don't really see how including less stuff in the box makes this a "variant". Like if Sony noticed most PS4 pro owners were upgrading from PS4 in North America so they released a version with no cables or controller because most people interested in the pro already had them from their original PS4, I wouldn't call it "a variant".

That's just my take though.

Well. It stops being a hybrid and strictly a portable, with the option of paying more to regain hybrid/fixed console functionality later.
The Playstation 4 with the omission of controllers and cables will still be a fixed home console whichever way you cut the cake.

Either way, it's part of Nintendo's M.O. Early in the 3DS lifecycle I stated that Nintendo will probably release a variant without 3D functionality, the moaning on these forums about that suggestion was unreal.
Well... History turned out to be on my side. ;)
