I wonder how it will be enhanced.   Why does the article even make the comparison to PS4pro and XBX in the first place?  It implies that it may be hardware that could exceed base PS4.  

Exclusives that can score higher than a 6.

Speaking of docks, does anyone have a recommendation for a 3rd party version? My standard works fine, but I’d like more than one dock.

So what does that mean? a Switch that is running a game at console settings, but you're playing it as a handheld?

That seems reasonable.  Maybe a better battery life in handheld mode.  A slight upgrade in hardware won't do a thing for me, though.  If they want to get me to buy, let me connect a Bluetooth headset to the thing.

Yeah, like the trade-in program would have to be very generous for me to consider it.

 

And also, they should have the option to sell it without any dock.

Let's hope the cheap model is cheap as fuck. Under $200 would be great.

My guess is current model drops to $250 until it's out of stock. Slim model $200 and premium model will be $300-$350.

If they value the dock at $60-$80 retail price, that puts it down to $220, already., no rumble, no individual batteries for the joycons, no individual circuit board because everything would just be on one mainboard, smaller battery.

 

I can see this dropping below $200, and possibly down to $180.
