I don’t think these are strong arguments tbh.

1. No issue here, even a dedicated HH switch will be compatible with Joy-cons. They just won’t be required or necessarily attachable as it has its own built in buttons. Equally I would expect a dedicated HH device to still have the capacity to connect to the TV but it won’t come with a dock.

2. The handheld function of the Switch Already does this. Almost every game is built with buttons in mind and if developers want to offer a unique experience and negate a traditional hh experience (1,2 Switch)- they will prioritise this since its essentially the core selling point of the game.


3. I think this is fundementally misunderstanding the function of such a device. Its to allow accessibility (cheaper and more portable), making it more child friendly and encouraging multiple Switch ownership in one household. The Switch as a concept is established, this device doesn’t make it any more/less generic as a platform and this additional SKU is there for those who want it.
