    Assuming any of this is legit:

    Is it possible that the “Switch 2” has a hybrid version like the Switch, a handheld version like the Switch Lite, and a home console version? (Or even just hybrid and home console versions, with a handheld to come later?)

    These could all run the same software with very similar hardware, but the home console would either be cheaper or offer higher resolutions and/or framerates than the docked hybrid console.

    Customers might get confused, but this is arguably more straightforward than the current lineup.

    The downside is that developers would need to handle 3 different configurations (handheld, docked, and home).

      No publisher wants to put the resources into this for absolutely no gain on their part. They’ll target the easiest, cheapest and fastest method to get a game working and then leave it at that.
