It's about a 65/35 split for me in favor of undocked. People can dismiss the Switch as a weak console with a useless gimmick, but I was always eager for a hybrid console, even if it came at the expense of power. I just don't have time or desire to dedicate to sitting down at my TV and turning on my PS4 outside from the occasional free weekend. I travel quite a bit and no way is it feasible to lug a big console around.

I also find it more useful at home. When it's late at night and I have an hour to spare, it's a much more tempting proposition to pull out my Switch and play for a bit in bed than it is to turn on my PS4 and sit at my TV. It's also a snappier device and I can go from turning it on to playing a game in just a few seconds. And when I'm done, I just press a button and my game is put on hold until I decide to return to it. Handhelds are great for quick sessions and the Switch is no exception. Even if the graphics are objectively worse, I'd rather get a game on my Switch than another console just because I'm more inclined to actually play it.
