Um... are you sure it's got nothing to do with the fact that the last time I checked the Switch didn't have two screens...?

You. You'll buy a portable Switch and rebuy half your Switch games for it. Heck you already bought a semi-portable Wii U and have or will re-buy half of your Wii U games for it in some form or another, so what's the difference?

lol the native resolution of the Switch screen would easily allow you to stack the two 3DS screens on top of one another in the single Switch screen with zero loss in quality with room to spare.

Not true. I were always saying that they are two possibilities for NX, NX handheld and NX home console that plays same games or hybrid of home console and handheld. Buy time its was more and more obvious that NX will be hybrid (especially after EG report), so I complete abandoned idea NX handheld and NX home console. Actually me and Soundwave are one of 1st on this site who accepted idea of hybrid concept and talking how that totaly make sense.

That wasnt my post but actually failed reply.

Ohh come on man. I was looking at the thing the EG report was leaked about and you're going to say I didn't nail this thing? (I know, kinda cheating) We actually still do not know if this device is actually a "hybrid" console. IF Nintendo comes out with a non-switch compatible portable console, then the Switch is definitely, definitely not a "hybrid".

My bad! Sorry about that.

Like I wrote, from Iwata quotes and Nintendo plans about new platform/NX, it was obvous that Nintendo will do handheld and NX home console that plays same games, or hybrid of home console and handheld, and actualy they done one of those thing. Now for me it's very obvious that Switch will have multiple iteration of Switch and Switch addons, and that no way they will release separate platform that plays different games. You disagree, time will tell who is right.

Yes because that sounds like a perfect solution, but then there is still the problem of not being able to play most of the games in homeconsole mode since you have no access to the touchscreen, there is also no resistive touch screen either which is required for most of the games which require percise accuracy, then a lot of other problems like no camera and no mic.

I'm a gamer like most people on this site.  I judge whether I like a game or dislike a game.  I judge whether I like a console or don't.  What some people view as success others see a failure and vice versa.  I didn't mean to trigger you, but we all judge this or that everyday and sometimes people get butthurt.  Again I'm just a gamer voicing opinions.  

So you called the hybrid until a new console comes out making Switch no longer a hybrid? Make your mind up.

I'm starting to reconsider your extra non-Switch compatible portable. Obviously the idea itself is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard but I'm warming to the 'give Nintendo more money' part.

So limit the use of those games to only work in handheld mode, and write some type of touch screen signal translator that can accomodate the differences in touch screens. Make games that require microphones or cameras incompatible, that's just a small fraction of the games.  Sure, it's not a perfect solution, but I bet it would mean a whole lot to the tens of millions of 3DS owners that would be able to afford a Switch if they could trade/sell their 3DS in and still play all of their 3DS games. It would have been a very consumer friendly move by Nintendo, but they chose not to.

Instead, Nintendo will make minor mofications to those games, put them in a different shaped cartridge, and sell them to gamers again for $40-$50, or better yet, put them on the virtual console and make even higher margins on those game, and still charge gamers for it all over again.
