There is no problem, if its like $149,- else there is, people who don't want to use the handheld functionality (like me) will pay extra for something they don't wish to use, which is a bad business decision, by making a Nintendo Switch with no screen and no double controller, but just the pro controller they can reduce the price significantly for peoplw who just want to use it as a home console and increase the install base.

They would be insane not to do it, I think the docking station is fine for people who want the handheld, its a nice storage station and doesn't include additional hardware and is proberbly a HUB to attach your external HDD too (hopefully) but for people who dont want a porable system, give them an option.

I don't know the price, I would assume no tablet would make it around $100 cheaper as just the home console version, which is great, so if the basic one would bw 249,- it could be around 149,- but even if its 199,- its still great cuz they can bundle it with a Pro controller (which else you need to buy seperate) instead of the worse- normal controller detached from the tablet and the console would proberbly aso LOOK better because it wouldnt be a docking station and it would proberbly be SMALLER.

see lots of benefits, hell, even at the same price I would prefer not having the tablet because of the controller and size.

Screw it maybe you guys are right, the console is just not for me anyway, I don't care about it too much if you all want it the way it is, then I guess nintendo hit the nail on the head, maybe its just me personally not being interested but I would be interested in a cheap- option to play some of the nintendo games, since I really like mario kart splatoon and zelda but I am really not interested in playing them on this console
