A home Switch does nothing that a standard one can't and does not open up any part of the market again Lite allows people to buy their kids or family one in the same household a home model does nothing of the sort you're going to have to clarify what it does rather than claiming it opens up the market because so far the only argument is cost, portable mode is also not just for mobile gaming outside as in family homes where TVs are shared it adds a convenient quality of life. |
A Switch Lite does nothing that a standard one can't and does not open up any part of the market again. - Literally your argument, yet the Switch Lite exists.
Yes the lite allows people to buy their kids or family one in the same household, just like a theoretical Switch TV would, buy one for the kids bedrooms, lounge room, games room and more.
Clearly there is a market for a Switch TV considering the Playstation 4 sold 117~ million devices, which is a market for the Switch TV to target.
Sorry to use your argument against you, but the amount of flaws in your logic was pretty catastrophic.
The main advantage of a Switch "TV" would be the lower price of entry, it would come in at a lower price than a Switch Lite, especially as the cost of individual components continues to inflate.
The Switch 2 is again, Nintendo's most expensive console ever... And it doesn't even have an OLED screen... That's going to make it difficult for families to justify multiple Switch devices, one for each child without some variants targeting different price points, especially in the current cost of living crisis.
