that is such a dumb statement, how many hours do you think the average person plays in a day? its not 3 hours and it sure as hell isnt 3 hours in a single sitting, let alone while being away from a power source.

Outside of a small group of people who like to complain on this internet, a 3-5 hour battery life is fine.

Anybody that legit plays a game for 3 hours and then puts it down either has an extremely hectic life, or just doesn't like video games that much. I play 4 hours minimum. 8 hours on a day off. I average 35-40 hours a week. I ride a bike 7 miles to work, and go to the gym 5 days a week, so it isn't like I'm just sitting around all day munching Doritos and chugging Mountian Dew while gaming.

I'm doing the things I enjoy. Isn't that the definition of "a life"? I don't expect everybody to get in 40 hours of gametime a week. 15 hours is a respectable amount. But who the heck plays any game for 3 hours and then puts it down?

no, anyone that plays games for 4-8 hours a daily basis simply doesnt have a life.

Everything is a gimmick going by that definition, the one used in the gaming context talks about features that are considered useless, to be the most flexible console ever is hardly a useless feature.

To the OP's question, it's not terribly hard to figure out. We have this:

Which is basically the Switch chip without the LCD/battery/etc. 

It costs $199.99 (w/o HDD), though it's been that price for 2 years now so it probably could be sold for less.
