Why a Joy-Con-less Switch model is a terrible idea

[Pyro as Bill]

Historically, handheld gamers don't need local multiplayer (same system) or motion controls (full movement not tilt).

The $300 pricetag is a bargain for those people who are open to buying a Nintendo home console and handheld.
It's reasonable for those who want a home console with solid gimmick however it's still expensive for the traditional HH gamer.
So long as a joycon-less Switch is still compatible with a dock and joycons, it isn't an issue. They rightfully get a HH-only Switch for a lower price but can still get the full experience if they buy dock/joycons.
