So no detatchable controllers? I think that would defeat the purpose of a cheaper model when it forces you to buy an additional controller to play the system docked. Also the Switch is in a different situation from the 3DS. It had a unwanted gimmick that forced Nintendo to massively cut the price early and take losses. They couldn't possibly price cut it again so instead the 2DS was made. The Switch doesn't need a 2DS, it's selling great as is and can have price cuts gradually. 3DS can fill the cheap handheld niche until the Switch's value gets there. |
Well if your point is to have much cheaper offer of your platform, than probably you will not have Joy Cons and dock functionality for playing, offcourse you will still have regular Switch, and later probably Switch Pro/XL or even Switch TV. 3DS is dying and they will need low price offer on market when 3DS dies, and this would be basicly Switch Mini/Pocket just for handheld play that would effectively replace 3DS price point on market. Dont forget, Switch is $300 while 3DS covers price point from $80 to $200, we can realistically say that Switch will be at around $250 at end of next year, so they well need $150-200 offer on market also, Switch Mini/Pocket would perfectly fit there and would effectively start replacing 3DS price point on market.
