No, it would kind of defeat the purpose for me.

No, but I would be interested in a Nintendo Switch ala DS-3DS, handheld only with dual screen and an actual d-pad.

If it is not more powerful I do not see the point. I mean sure it could be cheaper, but the Switch is selling on the hybrid nature or in some cases pure portability. I just don't see it being desired too much at its current power level if the WiiU is anything to go by. Sure there are other reasons for the failure of the WiiU, but it does show that exclusives alone won't make it worth the venture.

And it would be pointlesa to make it vastly more powerful, because then we would have another console and handheld situation and the library could be divided again. It would have to remain around the same powerlevel to keep the unified library that fhe Switch seems to be pushing for.

So while I am sure there are many of us that might buy it, the bulk of the consumer base will see no point. Honestly I see and handheld only model being the only "dedicated" model that makes sense TBH.

Unless I ask the question, how would I know if I'm alone in this situation or not... No need to get so aggressive in defending nintendo from what is clearly not a attack. Nintendo wouldn't need to put such effort in this, since sony did it effortless, at least they did try. Last but not least, Nintendo doesn't need me? Last time i checked, they're a company aiming to reach everyone, how do you dare to exclude me from a plan that is not yours to command?

Edit: I don't even know why I'm engaging with, you the purpose of the thread was to know if people would buy it. If it makes sense for the business or not wasn't what I wanted to know because I already have a opinion on that so I don't need yours... 

'You won't be missed as a noncustomer.'

That's a sentence I really need to highlight. Best line I've read in a while! 

Of course the idea it's not to take away anything from the current switch, and clearly this would be a nich and hard situation for the marketing department, but sony did it for the vita almost effortless and Vita strikes me as a harder conversion, so this would just be a option for the few that thinks switch is not worth the price just because it does many things that doesn't interest us. The screen, battery, detachable controllers and dock and that adapter for the controllers all traded for a normal controller would cut the price significantly, enough to convince many people that isn't yet.

I don't see any downside... Clearly Nintendo didn't have the idea to do this originally, because the name locks it behind the hybrid concept, but now, after the success of the hardware and the games the platform is delivering, widening that platform to sell more games is always a good bet imo.

even if they made a docked-only Switch they would still need to make games could run on both versions of the console, so giving it a ton of extra power would be kind of a waste. I think the best logical step for Nintendo at this point is ride out the Switch for as long as they can before introducing the Switch 2 as their next console. also remember, even though it is underpowered, it is still Nintendo's most powerful console ever

The true intention of this thread was to show us which of us forum dwellers are too cheap to buy a Switch, and OP did a fantastic job at exposing them.

When you consider buying a product but the price is too high, you don't buy it. Simple as that. You wait for the price to come down eventually. There's no debating about 'what if they cut out this or cut out that or..' No. If you really would want to buy one, you would buy one.

Finally, to answer OP's question, I would not be interested. I love switching between both modes. I'm playing Skyrim right now while lying in my bed. 

Also, I think the price is fair already.

Nope

You say this without any explanation. Why shouldn't people propose hypothetical different models with different price points?
