Do you have something to backup such a claims? I have your previous post like clear example.
But that's a point, Switch is not handheld its a hybrid, and if you look at Switch only like handheld devaice definitely has high price point. You again missing point, I didnt said what Switch is, but what Nintendo saying Switch is, and they saying its console not handheld, and again reason why they saying that is because Switch hardware and software have price point of home console not of handheld. Talking about reality, Switch is a hybrid, home console and handheld in one, its successor to 3DS and Wii U, but they still dont want/cant to pushing it like 3DS succors also because still has high price point for handheld and 3DS is still on market, but they will change tone when they have price point of around $200 or release Switch Mini/Pocket (that I susspect will be just for handheld play) that will effectivly replace 3DS (handheld) price point on market.
Nintendo will stick to one platform in future also, we will not see from them two totally different platforms like we had before (3DS and Wii U, DS and Wii..), and margin handheld and home consoles platforms in one is one of their best moves.

Successor to the 3DS and Wii u. Couldn't agree more. I said this for years and so many disagreed. I don't think 3ds will get a separate successor because switch is it. It's aiming for all the handheld market sales 3ds and ds aimed for but with the added bonus of aiming for the Wii u market aswell

Yeah, there is zero sense to release onother hardware of any kind that will not be part of Switch platform. But like I wrote, I think that Nintendo will release Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play in order to have much more affordable price point and that will effectively replace 3DS price point on market when 3DS finaly dies. Nintendo already said that their goal with Switch is to be device per person instead device per house but that still isnt possible with current price point of Switch. I mean you can only try to imagine Switch sales in Japan when Switch has price point of around $200 with adition of avilible games like core Pokemon and Animal Crossing with already released games like Splatoon2, MK8D, Zelda BotW, Mario 2D/3D, new MH game...
