MODERATORS
If the console is to be 99% of the time attached to the living room tv, the inbuded screen matters almost zero.
I use my switch in portable mode near exclusively, 1080p SDR (and usually the games run at way lower than that) are not pretty on a 65” 4K hdr OLED tv. I think most people buy the switch because of the portable experience and rarely use it on a tv unless playing Mario party or something like that.
That may be your experience, my partner and I use it co-op on every game that has it and watch each other play singleplayer, so it's almost never out of the dock. I imagine many families with multiple kids and not enough budget to get everyone their own would do the same.
‘Most people’ don’t have 65” 4K HDR OLED TVs. Also, from my personal experience a ton of people use the dock functionality extensively.
That's how I use mine. Only time it leaves the dock is when I have to change a tiny microscopic game wafer and hope to God I don't drop the thing.
