How much do you think a Lite version could lower costs? (maybe $50-100?)

Like with no dock, maybe fused joy-cons and 1 piece of plastic shell...

I think a cooler move would be a "Switch 2 home console", that is just a tiny little box (no handheld aspect, no battery, no screen ect ect).
That thing could probably be like half the cost of a Normal Switch 2.

Like Imagine seeing a 250-300$ Switch 2 console.... sitting next to ~800$ Xbox Series X, and a ~650$ PS5, on shelves in stores.
Come Christmas / holidays next year, and bundled with like a zelda game.

It would sell big numbers.

I thought Nintendo would do the same, for the Switch 1 at some point but they never did.
It was a missed opportunity imo.

With how crazy prices are getting for hardware, its time for Nintendo to show the world, the power of a good deal (price) can beat out exceptionally strong hardware that costs a arm and a leg to own.

Like imagine next gen, with PS6 and new 1800$ xbox and there is a cheap Nintendo Switch 2 also there, the home console version.

Nintendo will not do it, but if they did Switch 2 would surpass the Switch 1 and become the best selling videogame system of all time. Just imagine it.
