If they succeed in market-tricking the consumers to believe it's home console, maybe it can have some success, a gamer with eyes will see the Switch for what it really is: a handheld with tv output... I'm sorry but handheld form factor, screen, battery, cartridges & mobile components make it a handheld, plain & simple, yes it does have a tv output but so did the PSP!!!

If you don't agree, well eat my shorts ;P

Nah, I see the NS as a handheld as well (I think we actually agreed with that on a previous reply).  In fact, I think it's an Nvidia Shield with a tv-out that's been repurposed by Nintendo as a gaming tablet -- which puts Nintendo into an even redder ocean with companies like Apple and Samsung in the tablet market; which is funny considering how much Nintendo talks about 'blue oceans' and not wanting to compete directly with Microsoft and Sony.

Sorry for not being clear, when I wrote "If you don't agree, well eat my shorts ;P", I wasn't talking to you wombat123, I was talking to the readers on the forum, I konw you agree & share my opinion on this matter, sorry for inducing you in error ;P

Funny I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday, they want to exit the home console power paradigm  where they have experience & faithfull fans, but are not afraid of entering a "redder ocean" market where they have less experience, few fans, where the casual market is very volaitle & shifting running from one fad to another, going against giants the likes of Apple, Google, Samsung, where even Sony & MS are breaking their teeth... it baffles me!!!

If you are interested I made a post that kinda speaks about that issue and how I see now the Wii & to some extent the DS success, having harmed Nintendo, setting them on running after the casual market mirage...
