 I think he's just suggesting a PSVita TV version of the console in addition to the standard Switch model that is a hybrid. Eh, I don't see the harm if Nintendo introduced a handheld-only model with Switch Lite.

Ah, that makes more sense.

But considering how the PSVita TV flopped just like the Vita, and the latter being a pure handheld, not sure if there's a real market for such a console.

I mean, the price would be pretty close to a hybrid as the only thing you can really save is the screen and maybe the joycons (but then you'll need to provide a controller, so not much saving in that). If for a couple bucks more I could get a hybrid version, I'd take that one for sure. The Switch lite had to be cut down in functionality to get to the $200 price and even then it is just barely profitable for Nintendo.

Well, Vita was a flop to begin with and Vita TV was not very well thought out as it doesn't work with all games plus came out when Vita's fate was sealed. A Switch docked only would be 100% BC and of a successful product. For Switch 2 I'd wait 2 years in before releasing a TV-only version much like the Lite or any system revision.
