don't you have to use them on the controller or separated? I mean I'm not carrying around a separate controller to use with a tablet screen
I am Iron Man
I guess it would cost Nintendo their existence
I have to imagine they could have sold a Switch dedicated handheld and dedicated home console for $199 a piece.
Which actually, probably wouldn't have been a bad idea. If someone just wants one, they can get one for a really good price, but they both still play all the same games. It would be way better for families where you have more than one gamer too.
Actually, why didn't they do this?
Oh right, because apparently we aren't allowed to think Nintendo could survive off of anything but "different" hardware...
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

dont be so sure it wont still happen. Many consoles/handhelds have gotten multiple revisions throughout their lives and I dont see Switch being any different.
5" screen, portable only with built in controls-$199
Microconsole, TV only with Pro Controller-$199
More powerful version with a 1080p screen-$299
When Nintendo first started talking about supporting a single unified platform, they said that its possible that we will see the number of form factors increase.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Buy one for every room in your house and paracord one to your bag 
You are mother fucking Iron Man.
Calling portability a "gimmick", now we really have hit a new low
As long as the gimmick doesn't involve a screen, probably doesn't make much of a difference.

In other words, imagine if the Switch was just a regular console that took regular game disks, came with a pro controller, and an HDMI cable. How much are Nintendo's gimmicks costing us? How much would a tablet-less Wii U, with a pro-controller instead, cost? How about a 3DS XL, without the 3D effect? |
The Switch isn't a gimmick. Its a portable console that also connects to the TV. Is a laptop a gimmick to you?
If it has any gimmick, its the motion controller because that's niche thing for a games.

"How much would Nintendo hardware cost to produce without gimmicks?" We will never know.
The price would drop about a hundred dollars I think because that's about how much I remember a Wii U gamepad was rumored to cost.
