2017 Nintendo's data state 20% of Switch users used exclusively as home console, against 30% that use exclusively as handheld. If gave an option to those gamers of a cheaper option of a Switch TV they would definitely get that, even more so if they are less expensive than the base Switch 2

That are multiple ways to increase hardware sales, and having different options is one of them. I mean, is there any point on a Switch OLED since it's basically the same Switch with better screen and slightly better storage? Yet the OLED is still the best selling SKU right now

Revisions are not supposed to sell dozens of millions, if they were then Sony would not release a PS5 Pro to sell maybe what? 10 million units lifetime at best?

Even a 10 million units Switch 2 TV would already justify its own existence 

I am highlighting the fact the PS4 is an entire addressable market that Nintendo could go after.
I am not saying the Switch TV will see those kinds of sales.
I am not saying the Switch TV will be equivalent to the PS4.

I am saying the PS4 addressable market was 117m consoles, one that Nintendo has neglected to a degree.

I don't know why this is a difficult thing for you to grasp? It's called competing and competition.

Whatever argument you have to justify the existence of the Switch Lite... Can be used to justify the existence of a Switch TV.

The Lite loses all "Switching" capabilities, it's a pure handheld.
A Switch TV loses all "Switching" capabilities, it's a pure console.

The Lite literally loses the Switch concept.

I have been running you around in circles on this point... And you haven't even noticed.

Again. Same argument for the Switch lite.

If someone already owns a Switch, why buy a Switch Lite?

And as explained prior, the Switch TV adds more units into a household as it's another form factor that appeals to many.

I literally don't understand your anti-consumer argument, for reasoning against the existence of a Switch TV, it's cheaper, it's an extra option... You literally lose  NOTHING by having it exist.

According to Nintendo's statistics, 20% of Switch users don't remove their console from the dock.

Extrapolating that to 150~ million consoles is potentially 30~ million devices. - That's potentially better than half of Nintendo's home consoles to date like the Gamecube, WiiU, Nintendo 64 to name a few.

You literally lose nothing by having a Switch TV exist, it's a cheaper, more durable device, having it exist is literally pro-consumer... And you are against that.
It doesn't make sense.

Many games on Switch are best played while the console is connected to the TV with the pro controller.

The Lite literally strips away everything that made the Switch unique. Literally everything.

It's a pure handheld.

I want a fixed home console that throws away all the mobile stuff, I am not a mobile gamer, I want my consoles to last, I want it cheaper.

These are all positive pro-consumer, selling points... And you are against that? Like... Why? Why are you literally against having more options that are also cheaper  options? It makes no logical sense.

Remember the Switch 2 is the most expensive console Nintendo has ever released.

Other options that decrease the entry price will accrue more sales, because if the USA goes into recession and takes a few countries with it, you can bet Switch sales will be impacted and that is not good for us, gamers who need Nintendo to get a volume of consoles out in the world to justify their game development budgets and thus bring us great games.

2017 Switch numbers were 14m today they're 152m, 20% back then equates to 2.8m we need more recent numbers than those and to further push the point home have those people stayed exclusively playing home console mode since maybe they were waiting on certain titles. However lets try and speculate on those numbers 30% back then were using it exclusively as portable yet Lite sales today are only around 13% of sales I'd guess that a static version would be less than 10% of sales.

This harks back to my point as even the Lite itself is questionable as I'm convinced if it didn't exist sales would still find their way to what they are now just a bit slower which is why I see a static version as even more pointless the is already a solution in place filling the role. PS5 pro is a revision to extend console life it plays a much different role for Sony and tbh one that is more justified imo.

Having a 35% less expensive version is by no means questionable, Nintendo wanted to target additional purchases and Lite satisfied this premisse. A Switch TV serves the same purpose. You don't need to drive the sales to extreme extents to be a useful revision 

3DS had 6 versions, every version addressed some issue a small group of customers have with the main 3DS. Permalite issue with Switch is he doesn't use it handheld, and by the numbers Nintendo provided that is an audience for home-console only Switch. In this sense OLED Switch is a much more useless revision, because it doesn't address any concern but it was still released anyway and it worked for both new owners and people looking for a second Switch 

In this sense, there would be nothing to lose in creating a stationary Switch 2 line. Would it make Switch 2 sales growth significantly? Probably not, but any more 5 million units sold are still money to be made 

- Because Nintendo going after Sony's market has gone so well before hasn't it I mean the GC and WiiU really took off... Please it's a bad argument the two platforms sell on very different merits with very different market approaches, Sony is more focused on red ocean and solid third party support while Nintendo's modern era is the four market approach (blue ocean, red ocean, portable and home) where they cater even to each relying mainly on their first party library. One grabs the entire market they're in while the other carves out a sizable section of each market that's how they compete with each other.

The irony is that it's the worst argument you could make because many of the PS4 consumers aren't into first party enough to buy a Nintendo platform so they wouldn't buy a static version anyway and the games they like they'd want the version of games with the higher settings many would opt for the hybrid version to play the games they like on the go.

- Perhaps you're deliberately ignoring parts of the argument for the sake of your own, the Lite loses the Switching but still retains the rest of the concept a static version loses the Switching and a significant part of the platforms concept. I think the Lite is pointless as well but it at least retains most of the concept that the Switch centres it's identity on and as I pointed out to someone else if Lite sales are only around 13% then I'm not convinced these SKUs being absent would have made much difference to the total sales in the long run.

- The 20% figure is addressed with someone else that number is from 2017/2018 as well.

- Lite strips away the connecting to a TV it can however still do everything else so saying it strips away everything is false I addressed this above, Switch 2's price maybe higher on paper but inflation wise it matches the SNES which would be £390 today the exact same price as the Switch 2.

3DS versions all had the same core feature that is a poor comparison if Nintendo released a version with out a touch screen then maybe, Permalite no offence to him is not the primary target audience they've cultivated for this era he want's a more traditional Nintendo home console those days are gone hence why Nintendo never bothered with a TV version for the first Switch, the platform's identity is clear you can use it as a portable only or home only platform but it's core concept is bringing these together which is reflected in the marketing and features. OLED improves visual fidelity on the portable side thinking that is useless highlights a lack of understanding of the products appeal as a whole as it improves the overall concept instead of chopping parts of it out.

35% cheaper comes with removing part of the platform's concept identity which also runs counter to the current marketing plus this isn't like 3DS where all versions retain the core concept which runs the risk of consumer confusion, end of the day I find both the Lite as well as any prospect of a TV version pointless because I'm not convince in the long run that the platform would fair any different with out these skus.

I'd totally be okay if Nintendo made a handheld-only Switch 2 Lite and a home console-only Switch 2. All the internals are the same, but the form factor is purely one type of console or the other. One is just like the Lite was: a compact Switch with no dock and no detachable Joycons. The other is just a small box with a cartridge slot, an HDMI port for connecting to the TV, and a USB port for charging an included Pro Controller. That's in addition to keeping the hybrid model for people who like that "best of both worlds" approach.

Nintendo's own internal data a few months into the Switch's life did show that 20% of Switch owners played primarily or exclusively docked, 30% played primarily or exclusively in handheld mode, and the remaining 50% of Switch owners played both. So, there would definitely be a large potential market for a home-console-only model for the Switch 2 just as the Lite had a market.

The core concept and main purpose of the Switch 1 + Switch 2 is 

• to sell games (both first party and third party games)
• to give a good experience as a platform
• to have the same development platform for handheld gaming and tv gaming instead of splitting development teams

The core concept of the Switch 1 + Switch 2 is NOT to force people into using both modes (handheld mode and TV mode), when they are only interested into one of these modes.

So why not offer a "Switch 2 lite" for "handheld only" gamers and a "Switch 2 home" for "TV only gamers" additionally to the normal Switch 2 for people interested in both modes? All three groups can play the same games (in the mode they prefer), nobody is paying for hardware features they'll never use.... instead they can use the saved money in buying Switch2-software.

Guess how you sell games and achieve all what you said by executing an appealing concept which the Switch does with its hybrid format, key point which I highlighted earlier would players who aren't usually enticed by first party titles bothered if they couldn't play the games they like on the go after all they'd likely have a PS4/Xbox/PC as well, the concept alone is what sold a number of multiplatform titles. Guess what also you're not forced to use what you don't need, some people don't really game online maybe we should make a version with out online functions to cater to them as well after all they're being forced right? Come off it, the selling point is the mode the standard platform is sold on hence why the vast majority of sales a good 87% going by numbers people have given are the hybrid model and lite is likely is more for the intent to get multiple units in a household quicker than cater to portable only gamers.

Are you really equating the cost of making a device online capable with the cost of the various components needed to make something work as a mobile device? There would obviously be no point of such a model cause people can just not use the online functionality and one that lacked that wouldn't be notably cheaper.
