This so much!..snip...
What if Nintendo releases the Switch 2s as the Switch Go (handheld) and Switch Home (console). The games known as Switch 2 titles, but rather than a system that is a “hybrid” it’s the games that are switch-able aka completely compatible with both systems.
I was thinking with the Switch Lite being $200, and given a home console Switch (w/o upgrades) would cost close to $100 (lack of HD touchscreen, dock, and miniaturization being enablers of that price) they might together be close to the $300 retail price of the all-in-one original.
This would allow Nintendo to market them together as a different type of Switch: one in which the user "switches" at the checkout instead of whenever, or maybe even buys them as a bundle. The advantage here is that each home/go unit is better suited to its purpose than what the all-in-one can offer - and are cheaper separately, of course. More choices.
Switch Go/Lite -- smaller portable, dpad, cheaper
Switch Home -- muuuch cheaper ($100-125), simpler setup (just a no-nonsense TV box, controller and A/C cord). This unit would be popular as a stocking stuffer/impulse purchase or something that kids would have a hard time breaking.

As for the topic at hand, 4chan has been accurate before but the $400 price of the home console is difficult to believe. That's a very un-Nintendo price. So my vote is #teamfake
