You would think so but Switch OLED is $350 and it's selling like hotcakes. $50 more and you get one of the biggest generational leaps that the console industry has seen in a long time would be easy enough to sell imo. They could always do two separate SKUs like Sony/MS are doing.

Switch 2 Lite, portable only, no DLSS. $300.
Switch 2, portable + docked, DLSS, $400.

You're right about the Switch OLED. It's crazy how much it can sell after five years by simply adding a new screen.

I don't doubt Nintendo will release two SKUs with time (no way they'll do it at launch), but I don't see why they should remove DLSS to make the handheld only model, specially since this would mean using a new SoC, incresing costs and causing extra supply problems. The savings from having two less batteries and one single chassis will be enough to justify the price difference, but I don't think the difference will be that much.

Yea it does depend on the pricing and how much it costs to get a SKU with tensor cores vs without. Tensor cores does add increased complexity so it could be a situation where the SoCs without tensor cores could be cheaper. But yea, maybe not having the dock or the detachable joycons and etc might make it cheap enough without needing to change up the SoC.
