What's interesting about this announcement is that NoA is using Animal Crossing to push the hybrid instead of the Lite. It's the right call, but wasn't a sure thing because of Animal Crossing's bigger association with Nintendo handhelds. |
Nintendo of Japan just tweeted it as well:

Only a matter of time before Nintendo of Europe confirms this as well. I think pushing the Lite was the original plan because of what you said. But then they saw the numbers, saw how much more popular the hybrid model was than the Lite model and changed course.
