Guys. Hey Guys. This device is called the "Nintendo Switch". What makes you think Nintendo is interested in selling a version without detachable joycons that make that grating "snap" noise every time they're attached? It's the whole schtick of the console. I also think it's pretty laughable that anyone thinks Nintendo is going to make a Switch even bigger than the current Switch. I think everything you'll ever see from the Switch line is going to revolve around those joycons.

Simple because they want to have low price point offer of Switch platform on market, especially when 3DS dies, current Switch is $300 (so home console price point) while part of 3DS family (2DS) is $80, and Nintendo always had low price point offer on market, so lower price point Switch Mini/Pocket would replaced 3DS price point offer on market. You would still have normal Switch on market, but Switch Mini/Pocket would be lower price point offer of Switch platform for people that want just handheld play for less money. Current Switch is hybrid, but Nintendo probably aims at family of systems (similar to 3DS) than just simply aiming for concept.

Aren't you assuming that the best way to accomplish this is to make a "Switch Min"i that isn't compatibile with Joycons? There are numerous ways Nintendo can save costs as technology advances many of which don't involve changing the height and joycon compatibility of the Switch. The way I see this is advocating that Nintendo should sell a 3DS/2DS with only one screen.

But let's be clear. The Current Switch is a handheld that ships with a dock. It's no more of a "hybrid" console than any other handheld that was "dockable" and allowed you to use gamepads with it.  They're already selling it without the dock in Japan.
