How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

I said this last gen as well but why don't Nintendo release a home only version?

They could then run the chipset at full throttle and have most games playable at 4K 60 and not just ports like metroid prime 4.

They could sell it for peanuts, 150 to 200 bucks and shut the whole (hardware) price conversation down completely.

MS & even Sony are rumoured to be putting together their own handhelds which comes with the massive challenge of running their home console games acceptably on mobile hardware.

Nintendo has no such challenge, conversely their games would run even better on the 'switch home' with next to no effort.

The thing could also fit in the palm of your hand and look super cool & cute.

It just seems like such a no-brainier to me.

Why does Nintendo hate money/gamers?

After the failure of the Wii-U and more than thirty years in the industry, Nintendo left the console market ala Sega and went handheld-only. And they did so without anyone noticing or talking about it by simply providing a dock and upping the power compared to their usual devices. They knew that their handhelds were their strong suit, and they weren't wrong. They also knew that by telling us it was both a handheld and a home console, they could fool everyone... and they did lol.

Sadly, they will not be returning to home consoles. At least not in the way you and I want them to.

Your point would stand if I was talking about a separate platform, but I'm simply talking about taking S2's chipset, sticking it in a plastic shell & running it at full clocks.

It'd be the exact same platform as S2 but running the games at higher res. They could probably sell the thing for £100 if they wanted.

For that price who wouldn't buy it?

Some folk don't care about handheld gaming and/or would rather pay a fraction of the price for a docked only version. In the current economic climate offering a super affordable option would be the shrewd thing to do.
