I am always amazed when someone dismiss the definition of hybrid. PS Vite+PS4 is an hybrid ? Good luck playing your PS4 games on a plane. And also, good luck to play your PS Vita games on a TV (that's possible, but seriously, good luck).

About the Wii http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/2/wii/

We can all see how the "signifiant support from every major third party" is wonderful. Wow.

We obviously don't notice any big difference, don't we ?

When the difference between a "hybrid console" and a "non-hybrid console" is whether an accessory to play a console on a TV ships with the console or is sold separately, the term is at best a marketing tool.  To be clear my point was that it meets the definition of "hybrid" because of the ways you can play the same game in different ways with everything included in a single package, not how practical it is, or how capable each solution is.

What about the Wii? I see dozens, if not hundreds of titles appearing on the Wii from every major publisher, including many of the most popular third party franchises in the world. Not once did I claim that the third party support for the Wii was nearly as good as the PS3 or Xbox 360 (because it obviously isn't), but there is absolutely no denying the Wii enjoyed much, much better third party support in terms of major third party titles than the Switch has so far. I mean honesty, the only publisher that is even doing Wii-style support (in the sense that they're consistently putting out a selection of their latest games on the platform) on the Switch is Bethesda

Yes I deny it. On the Wii, from the "major third party titles", you had rhythm games and half-assed ports. And few exclusives (timed or not).
