@nintendork64 this isn't a re-iteration though, its an alternative for those that just want a handheld and even the kickstand would be irrelevant as the controllers don't come off. Remember those buying it are doing so to play a handheld and won't care about joy cons and if they did then the normal Switch still exists.

If you don't want to but one then fair enough but I bet you any money that they sell millions of them. I personally will be buying one so that I can play some handheld multiplayer with my son and for when the Pokemon games come out. He has never played my Switch on the TV and has no desire to have one hooked up to his, so this is perfect for us as it's much cheaper then a second standard console. If anything I'd be more likely to use that one for handheld play more than the standard as I'm not a big fan of how the joy cons feel like they might come off (they probably never would).

If this was replacing the standard console I can see why people might be annoyed but most complaining already have a Switch and might not need a second one anyway. The cheap 2DS was a big success, the NEW 2DS was a big success as there will always be a market for a console but may not want to be spending nearly £300 for it just to have features they don't even want.

I think they have got this pretty spot on and whilst Switch does have some neat features its biggest selling points are being portable and its library of games and these 2 things still apply. The other stuff is cool and as I've said that is still available for those who want it and will probably still be the best selling version
