Its going to be marketed as a handheld because thats what Nintendo biggest market is versus Sony whose market is mainly home console.

Also this rumour states the home console is weaker than Xbone One. Even the Wii U was stronger than the PS3. This a handheld that can be played as a home console.

If it works like both, then is both.

That is true too. But I have a strong feeling this will be marketed as a strong handheld that can play as a home console that is stronger than Wii U. As a result, this will allow it to have handheld and home console Nintendo teams to fill out the library. But having this addition will make the handheld price rise which is a big concern since 3DS and Vita $250-300 price launch. Nintendo's historically low console sales also inspire low confidence about how attractive home console Nintendo games will be to handheld owners to raise the handheld price. And a home console in 2017 that is weaker than Xbox One isn't very attractive either. Fortunately this is just a rumour for now, though and if this is true maybe Nintendo has amazing gimmick that justifies the price like Wii or DS. But with none, this hybrid doesn't seem able to surpass even 3DS and Wii U LTD sales.
