How much do folks think the apparently bad screen adds to its cost (in parts/assembly etc.) for its removal to make a substantial price difference (they'd need to pack in joycons with the handle attachment rather than a Pro controller as games can still utilize the motion/mouse features in TV mode)?
If they can cut costs significantly, if they can add extra qol features like vrr with a dock and controller included, and if they can market this as equally as a standalone device as they would on their inevitable Switch 2 Lite, they yeah, why not?
If it's cheap enough then yes. $450 is not cheap, so whether it's this or a Switch 2 Lite, getting some version of Switch 2 below $299 would be good.
TV-only would have the benefit of not having a battery, and if it comes after a die shrink passive cooling may be an option. Those would be selling points for me.
As others have already mentioned I don't see much of a market for one unless it's substantially cheaper. I doubt the screen's removal would be enough to knock even $75 off the price.
