1080p panel costs dick all, I wouldn't actually be surprised if Nintendo really gets little/no cost savings with a 720p screen because 720p screens are actually more rare these days. Even rinky dink cheap ass budget phones these days have 1080p screens. 

But a 1080p screen doesn't come close to justifying a $100 unit premium. 

I'm not talking about costs of a 1080p screen. The games that push the switch usually get 480-540p docked. It would make more sense for this hypothetical hardware revision to just make sure those games hit 720p most of the time instead of pushing for a resolution that would require a lot more power. It would also be a huge battery drainer.

There has to be some kind of hardware upgrade that's reasonably significant for any of this to make sense. 

What's the point otherwise, they just released a new model Switch with better battery life and they released a smaller model that is more pocket friendly ... so a third actual Switch that isn't some lame home only version would have to do something beyond the existing two models.
