@graysoncharles The second screen plays an important gameplay function in many, many games (especially DS games)! Some Switch ports of Wii U and 3DS games have even been partially gimped due to the lack of a second screen! Are you kidding me?! No matter the kind of screen, touching with your finger sucks and is completely inaccurate compared to a stylus! I'm sure that a good portion of (2/3)DS users use the browser. Enough people have certainly complained about the Switch's lack of browser. It's still more portable than the Switch Lite brick we have here, especially if you stick with the standard model instead of the XL model. Face it, the Switch is never getting a Virtual Console. No, the 3DS already had a bigger library at its age due to being backwards compatible with the DS, but we're talking about right now, not then, and not at some future date when the Switch has a comparable library. No, they can't sell Switch games any cheaper, but that doesn't change the fact that 3DS games are still cheaper.

As I said, the Switch Lite has benefits of its own, mostly better specs and newer, bigger games that take advantage of those specs, so there are plenty of people who will still want it. However, as I've pointed out, it's not the clear cut upgrade over the (2/3)DS that you might think, so if consumers want to save money by getting a dedicated handheld, they still need to make sure it's the right thing for them individually instead of just getting a (2/3)DS instead, or if they already have one saving even more money by not upgrading at all. At the very least, (2/3)DS gamers who get a Switch Lite need to keep both systems around in order to enjoy the unique benefits of each one (and the many exclusive titles on one or the other) instead of just throwing their (2/3)DS in a closet somewhere to gather dust.

Those numbers of the expected audience are way off, though. Many (2/3)DS owners already have a regular Switch and have no reason to get a second, gimped model. Among those who don't yet have a Switch (like me), the majority will still plan to buy the regular Switch model instead of the Switch Lite, as unlike stereoscopic 3D, TV mode is a huge feature for which is easily worth paying the extra $100 for most hardcore gamers and even many younger and more casual gamers who would normally be in the market for a cheaper, lite model.
