Absolutely, $199 w/game is a great price for a few years but at some point they will do some cost cutting  revisions to get the price as low as possible like they did with 2DS or Wii Mini.

Mid-cycle like 2DS no way, but at the end of the systems life like Wii Mini I can agree with.

Why no way? Switch is like hybrid actually has much more potential for difrent type of revisions than 3DS, not to mention Wii. Wii was home console, Switch has handheld hardware so of course it will have different type of revisions and you can bet that low price point option will be one of them and that we want wait end of Switch life for something like that.

The previous Nintendo handhelds had HUGE hardware flaws when they launched. The GBA had no backlight screen or rechargeable battery. The DS was really bulky and big. It also had sucky light options. The 3DS was tiny and had no 2nd analog stick. (When its main gimmick was having 3D games). 

The Switch's main problem is storage and battery life. I am not sure if Nintendo can make any meaningful progress with battery life in a short time. Also upgrading the storage doesn't need a remodel. 

I don't expect a new revision at the earliest until 2020. Even then I only see an alternative revision (IE something akin to the 3DS and 2DS)

Thats where you wrong, when we talking about revisions its not just point to fix some things of previous model, but also point that cut down costs also and point revisions always boost sales in any case, for instance espacily when we talking about hybrids plenty of people are buying new revisons also even if they older one.
