Don't really understand who this is supposed to cater to.

It ain't THAT hard to understand:

• handheld gamers who want a lighter and better portable device
• gamers with a $200 budget who want to play Switch games
• parents/relatives buying a gift which plays Switch games

Perhaps you'll understand it when sales go up YoY beginning September 20th

And the original Switch wasn't going to be bought by the majority of those segments?
The sales pace of Switch and strong appeal seem to indicate it would.

The only part of what you mention that could, in my eyes, be seen as relevant - as in, to cater to - would be the dads and relatives. But even then you could the price of the original Switch by 50$ or add some games to increase the value.

That's why i ask: why bring this Switchless console to the market now when the original is still selling well and has enough appeal?

I still don't get why they needed this console.
