The rumours prior to announcement was that this device would unify Nintendo's console and handheld lines. Nintendo's overwhelming focus on the ability to take this thing anywhere points strongly to that. IMNSHO, the only reason why Nintendo is currently only marketing it as a replacement for the WiiU is to avoid an Osborne Effect that kills 3DS sales.

The Switch is going to find its market as a handheld. We won't be seeing GTA VI on it or the next Battlefield game or Witcher IV, but the third parties currently making games for 3DS and Vita should be able to carry it.
