Making two separate systems, one home console and one portable, just wasn't viable any more, even with Wii U and 3DS they weren't able to produce enough software for both.

A powerful new console and a next gen portable would've been even worse, and there's no way they'd give up their portable line and go all in on a home console alone when historically their portables have always sold more.

Unifying their product lines, as they did with Switch, was really the only viable path forwards.

You can do that, by haveing the homeconsole be the same as the handheld.

Just cut out the battery/joycons/screen ect...  boom... BOM is 100$ less.
Sell it cheap. The "home" version of the Switch, for the users that don't value the portability factor.
(this could also lead to double dipping, if they first get the home version, then realise they want to get a portable one)

A home version of the Switch would be fine, as I said in my post I was referring a powerful new console as the thread posits.
