PSTV?

When you remove the controller too.

PS Vita was $250 and $300 at launch (yikes!).

The home version was $100. You could buy that and a PS4 controller ($60) and still not pay full Vita price.

Unless I'm missing something, Nintendo could do the same. I'm of the "full experience" camp, though. I want the option of portability and $300 is a fair price, IMO.

A Switch that would be only the dock with the console's hardware inside and a Pro controller instead of the joycons for $200 230 €... yes, please.

By the time the Vita TV launched, the Vita was already down to $200. The savings weren't significant.

Lot of variables. I mean, what if you already had a PS3 or PS4? You could just use what you already had. And if Nintendo went this route, who says they had to do it now? They could wait a year.

To be honest, I don't even know what I'm defending. I guess, that there's a possibility and all of those "It costs too much" or "I don't want a portable" people could finally shut up.

Then again, the Vita (with its abysmal fist party support) wasn't a success. Maybe a non portable Switch would just follow suit.
