If a Switch Home had been available in 2017 I would've bought that instead of the hybrid version.
We already have a Switch variant for those who don't care about TV play, I'd say there's a place for a model for those who don't care about playing on the go. Without the screen or battery you could probably sell it at $200 USD with a healthy profit margin.

Poll indicates that there could be a big market for a Switch TV device that isn't portable. Interesting... But this is vgchartz where the numbers are skewed towards a strict gamer demographic.

But is it surprising? Home console market was always bigger than handheld. I'm sure if they release a Switch Home this was going to sell fine, maybe about the same as Wii U as Switch Home at least would have games to play

Same. I would not have bought the dockable switch.

Before it was more mixed, but since I don't own a TV right now, it's naturally all handheld right now.
