They could easily have made the Switch Lite compatible with televisions it would only have cost a few cents but it would be limited to portable resolutions as the console is designed for lower clocks and cooling at those clocks. A lower grade tv output would have been useful occasionally even if the game was dynamically changing resolution to a very low resolution. However from what I've read those who have modded their Switch Lites have had no problem running at full resolution Switch resolutions with a hdmi adapter board. I really think the Switch 2 Lite should have TV output but again only at portable resolutions but I don't think a Switch 2 Lite is possible until they shrink the fabrication process to something more modern maybe 6Nm or less. The current T239 is on a mainly 10Nm fabrication process so generates more heat and is more power hungry and I really can't see that chip being usable in a smaller handheld with an even smaller capacity battery. I think the current Nintendo company is more interested in bringing out a more premium OLED Switch 2 but I could see a Lite model piggybacking on that if the OLED version has a new improved fabrication process just like the Switch Lite benefits from the same Mariko chip in the OLED Switch model. Maybe a Switch 2 Lite will have a slightly cut down spec too. Maybe only 128GB storage built in and slower read/write speeds plus memory incapable of running at docked memory speed just the 68GB/s portable level. Maybe just a 720p screen too with patches for portable games that can only run at 1080p. If you connect a Switch 2 to a 720p max external display then the Switch 2 must generate a 720p image so maybe there is a software layer to do the same for a lower resolution display panel already built in. This could be an advantage to running Switch 1 games on a Switch 2 lite.

I personally do think a Switch 2 Lite will happen but of course no idea when it will come out. We could be 4 or 5 years from it happening if its a lower priority for Nintendo.

My Switch Lite is my favourite Switch to carry with me in the backpack and use away from home.

This.

I would so buy a Pro right now even though I got the OG Switch 2 on launch day (which I will make it my Portable only one).

I would have actually preferred a dedicated handheld from the get go.

While it would be quite highly priced in North America for what it is (and maybe other regions) I still think there's room for a Switch TV. 

64 GB Storage and an ethernet port like Switch OLED and Switch 2 and a Pro Controller included instead of JoyCons (with a disclaimer on the box about compatibility). Without tariffs, it could be $120-$170. With them, it would probably be $150-$200. 

But again, Nintendo seems content to greatly scale down Switch production even more than we anticipated so a TV-only model will likely be saved for Switch 2. And it might be a Pro Version at a premium price point instead of savings for people who want the current Switch 2 specs without handheld capabilities. 

I think having all three console form factors would be ideal: Hybrid, Handheld, and Home.

Releasing all three upfront would be great, but I think releasing a new type of model every 2 years would be great too; maybe an update of the hybrid every two years and then an update of the handheld or home console every 4 years.
2026 → Home Console 2.1
2027 → Hybrid Switch 2.2 (OLED, larger screen, chip update, that sort of thing)
2028 → Handheld 2.1
2029 → Hybrid 2.3
2030 → Home version 2.2
2031 → Switch 3.1
2032 → Handheld 3.1 (maybe even 2.2 budget model here... which might contain some of Switch 3's features on Switch 2 power)
and so on....

Either that, or group them into Hybrid + other form factor every second year.


Bottom line, I'm in favour of providing as many options as possible along a feasible timeline.

Nintendo 3DS sold 76 million and Nintendo DS sold 154 million. What kind of obvious question is that ?

I do think the economic circumstances and entry price points are different this generation, so I see it more likely. But it may just be against Nintendo's vision.

Switch 2 Lite will certainly come out later. The Switch 2 SoC is pretty power-hungry, so I expect a die shrink to come before Nintendo will produce one, though, as the smaller lite with less space for a battery would probably run out of battery too fast on the OG chip.
