Well the point of this thread isn't about Switch one revisions, but rather what we want out of hypothetical "switch 2" and so, based on that, I was assuming your suggestion for Switch 2 was to have it be tv only, which would be super lame.

Doesn't matter if it was the Switch 1 or Switch 2. There should be a "TV" derivative of the handheld.

yep, increase the number of form factors to appeal to the individual markets.

a smaller, cheaper version with a better battery life for handheld gamers and a home only microconsole for console gamers should release in the next few years.

i really don't see the point of a home only version of the switch. The Switch can already be played as a console, so why would they then spend money to make a new version of the switch that does less than the original while removing the main selling point of the switch?? They'd have to spend money designing and producing this non-switch and on marketing and figure out how many non-switches to produce which would take away from the production of switches. That just doesn't make any sense. Especially since it would not sell very much at all. A home-only version of the Switch is just power-boosted dock, which would be cool if people who want a home only system could buy a power upgraded dock that could provide upgrade framerate and resolution on all games. But again, while cool, that's not really needed. You already have your home version of the Switch, its called the Switch.

I'm not disagreeing with that. But I'm more concerned with what Switch 2 will be like than I am with form factors of a device I already own (I regret buying the New 3ds XL over my old 3ds; sure its better, but it simply wasn't worth it for how old the system was when that came out and how little new games came out after it). I already own a Switch and I love the ability to be portable and home console, so I would have no reason to buy tv only or mobile only device. Unless they announce something in the next year, I doubt most people will wait out and hope for one of those two rather than just buying the Switch now, but I could be wrong and there are always double dippers.

Yea and the name would be stupid at that point. Switch? Switch from what? It's always one thing, so it's not switching. It would be dumber than them calling it the 3ds despite that the future of that line was the 2ds and New 2ds XL lol

We are going to see the usual suspects with Switch that we would see with the DS and GBA line, but much much more useful.  There will likely be a smaller versions, a version with a full screen taking away the bezel with 1080p resolution undocked (the new default), a NEW Switch like the NEW 3ds line where the processor is better and the system capable of better games. 

We may also see other upgrade processes like different controller attachments or just and upgraded body, selling for less money then a whole system.  We will see the dock go down in price and other dock options as well.  The next console gen for Nintendo may begin a cycle of upgrading "components" rather than upgrading the whole setup.  That is until their new industry position is contested strongly or in a chance of decline, in which case we will see something drastically different.

Because there is hundreds of dollars of unnecessary expense for those that won't use any of the extra features.
Cut off all the fat, sell it at a fraction of the cost... Expands the Switch platforms potential audience and makes it more appealing to low-income earners/2nd/3rd world countries/parents buying for kids. etc'.

Didn't this basically happen with PSVita?

Yeah I agree tbh the already is a home version you just leave it in the dock.
