How would you feel if the next Nintendo console is a VR headset similar to Oculus Quest?

This is to do with a sensory disconnect and/or incorrect iPD. The results have nothing to do with the general use of VR where people are literally just donning a headset doing nothing, sitting down and watching a movie, or using teleportation/room-scale - which means my point stands.
Thank you.

No. This is the biggest myth of VR, because you're assuming that VR itself causes sickness for most people when infact, it's only part of VR that does this - whenever there is a sensory disconnect between what your eyes see and the expected movement via your inner ear. However I agree that Nintendo might always hold onto home consoles even if Sony and Microsoft don't.
In all likelihood this is just a misconception on your part. You could be right, but the chance is very low, so I'd take another shot if you get given the chance, and make sure that you're playing something at 90Hz+ without the game taking control over the camera over you.

What's lame about it? If you're in to immersive games at all, it's the place to be. I also wouldn't consider demos as any kind of indication of what VR is like because you're never going to demo the long-standing games like Lone Echo / Echo VR, Astro Bot, and Asgard's Wrath. These are at the GOTY-contender level and also require hours of playtime, so you'd never be able to demo them in public and wouldn't be able to appreciate them at a friend's house either unless they left you to it for hours.
That's kind of redundant. That's like saying "This water is too cold to be hot". Except that certain conditions can change that, which can also happen for VR too.
I'd argue that the VR market will dwarf the console market by a long shot, because there's simply much more general appeal in VR than there is in a game console.

I feel Nintendo games are very gameplay refined instead of relying on graphics.
So if they put faith in VR I bet they would nail the mechanics. Otherwise they won't bother with VR and would jump only when they're 100% confident.

They're a publicly traded company. They have shareholders to answer to, and shareholders expect growth. They can't just spend years in development only to fart out a product a few thousand people buy, declare "Well, we technically made five dollars profit from this, and money is money!" and call it a day.
I would love to see this. They could keep evolving on the Nintendo Labo concept and make a hybrid device, capable of being a TV console, portable console and VR headset all in one. The difficult part would be making an ergonomic VR headset that you can wear for a long time without getting uncomfortable. Anyone that has played Astro Bot knows how incredible a fully designed Mario VR/Zelda game could be and portable VR has proven to be a success with the Oculus Quest.

If it was the only way to play Nintendo games then it would probably be the first time I would not get a Nintendo console or may get it late In it's console life compared to how I do it now.
I'd prefer using a standard controller like the Pro Controller without the need to use anything extra similar to how I use my PS4 - one of the things I hated about the WiiU is the fact that I had to use the gamepad at one point or another.
When I get my future switch , I will be getting a pro controller cause I don't like the joycons at all from all the times I used it at store demos and my cousins house

Release a high-res Switch 2. Offer a halo-style headstrap and internal 6DOF tracking. Pair the VR+console bundle with the flagship casual game. Price it as a loss leader to encourage adoption. Embrace the tech in tasteful, varying degrees on a per-game basis. The classic mainline releases should be VR-optional, while the casual flagship games and tentpole iP spin-offs could be VR-only. Third party VR-only developers would fulfill the rest of the VR enthusiasts' needs.
To meet Nintendo's family/social standards, offer co-location multiplayer support so multiple people can play in VR face to face. Include a pass-through camera (inherent in inside-out VR headsets like Quest, Rift S etc) for the ability to quickly view your surroundings.
