Would not surprise me in the slightest. Nintendo is the king of producing the exact opposite of what I as a consumer desire. Have yet to see a switch being used on the bus, out in public, in the wild in any capacity. I walk around Toronto all the time and see people using mobile devices but I have still never seen an actual switch in real life (I've seen the box on shelves and thats the closest I've come).
Additionally everyone I know who owns one has it plugged into the dock and rarely play on anything other than a spare monitor from what they tell me, one friend bought one for Zelda and after beating it traded it in for store credit; the other just bought it for smash bros. I know it's subjective and I'm sure the mobility of the console is a huge selling point for most, but I still can't help but feel like Nintendo is leaving a crazy amount of money on the table by not having a home console only version of the switch stripped down of all it's mobility features (screen, joycon, battery, etc) knock 100 dollars off the price tag (or don't and bundle it with a pro controller and game) and watch the cash flow in.
I would have 2 already if that was the case. I've come close to pulling the trigger for smash bros, Zelda and Mario but can't justify the purchase knowing I'll never use the primary feature of the device. Its like if I were to spend the extra 100 bucks on a fancy wireless headset only to have it plugged in everytime I use it. Its a stupid thing to think about but a guess part of me is still just holding out hope for an eventual home console version of the switch, or alternatively i could pick up a used Wii u since I missed out on that, my only concern with that being inflated Wii u prices due it not selling that well during its lifetime and the tablet not being sold separately.
