I tried sense. It results in a long winded debate with no results.

If it makes you feel better, i don't think the Switch is a portable. Its a home console with a fun function. That is why i don't agree with what you are saying. 

You are objectively wrong. It has a battery and can be taken on the go. It literally is portable. You still don't make sense. You want to believe in something wrong? Fine but stop trying to push this nonsense on anyone in this topic.

Sigh... you are objectively wrong, not me. But i cba with fans. Believe what you will. 

Not pushing anything btw. You were making assumptions i disagree with. Surely you can handle different opinions to yours.

Yeah, his argument is a No True Scotsman fallacy. The Switch ticks all the checkboxes for a portable system while it also doubles as a home console. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of acceptance or denial.



I've only used my switch as a docked console,

If I never take it out then I can never be sure it will work as a portable.. It's shroedingers hybrid..

The fuck? It's literally portable. I have seen people in public playing on a bench. This is like saying a Smartphone or 3DS isn't portable. It's dumb.

Sorry DP. Indeed. Sometimes  I do wish this site had a ignore function. I am too weak willed.

Hybrid: Computer processing in both the docked and the handheld unit. (see:... no product I can think of exists yet).

But the Switch process in both docked and handheld mode......

For crying out loud, there are performance differences in both modes.One example would be the video output, as handheld mode outputs 720p max and home console mode can go up to 1080p.

Not to mention that notebooks also has that carachteristic about having more juice when plugged to the wall when running on its battery alone.

You only proved it further to be a Hybrid console.

This argument is fallacious as all the processing comes from the handheld unit. A hybrid has processing coming from both units. You can say there are advantages to using it in television mode but there are advantages to using my laptop or cellphone or tablet on a television or from an outlet in lieu of the battery power as well. That does not make my laptop a hybrid, however.

The thing I like about is how you can play home console games in your friends house. Like 1 person can use the TV, while the others can play it in handheld mode. You dont need another TV to play it.

You are simply twisting the definition to fit your own view.Then what would be a "home console"?Does it need to be constantly in need of a power supply?Because thats what the Switch is, if you put it on the dock.I could go on actually, but today I already had too many arguments that went nowhere, so Ill just say this:

The Switch has both functionalities that mirrors both home and handheld consoles.Handheld with its portability and screen on the main unit and home console because it can connect directly to a TV, have a constrant stream of power and is as functional as a home console as a PS4 in terms of functionality(Its really obvious to me, so I cant really give a good example), and even has the boost in that mode.

In the end, definitions of a home and handheld console are really vague.Thats why we have those silly discussion about what is it, and some even going to say sillier things like its a tablet just because of the form factor.But I think, or like to think anyway, that given all the functionalities that the Switch does and offers, that it is clearly a hybrid unit.

But think what you might.Im really tired today, and not in a mood to go back and forth with this.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Already defined, "home console". Processing in docking unit, none in the handheld (see: Wii U).

 

Relax, I am calling the console what it literally is. Just as I call a laptop or my cellphone what they literally are. I am not twisting anything. It is a handheld. Nothing wrong with that.

 

How you use something does not determine what it actually is. My girlfriend uses a chopstick to hold her hair up. She never uses it for food because she does not know how. Is a chopstick now a hybrid? No, it is a chopstick that can be used in more than one way.

edit: a better example of my last paragraph is how I use my cellphone. I obviously use my cellphone for facebook, instagram, twitter, and snapchat more than I use it for making calls or text messaging. Note: I still called it my cellphone and not a hybrid or a computer.

Only a matter of time, hopefully it's a new game rather than a port or something
