I think Nintendo Will Cut A Deal With Sony Or MS Within 5 Years

Nintendo's going to be marketing the NSwitch more like a home console, and it functions as such in addition to being a handheld. Whether they're in a league of their own or not, they're still going to have to compete in the same market as the PS4 and XB1.

Really? So why's 70% of their own demo video showing people playing the system outside the house?

Nintendo can call it whatever they want, it's not a competitor to the PS4 or XB Scorpio, not any more than the DS was to say the XBox 360, and Microsoft even allowed some of its games onto the DS because of that reasoning ... there's no competetion between the two there really so why not. 

The outside portions of the trailer are to hammer in the point that you can take it outside, I'm sure they're betting more on people using it as a home console. We're probably going to be getting more console-scale games, and most people prefer to play games like these at their own homes anyway. Battery life will definitely be another deciding factor. If it doesn't last long outside the home I can guarentee that it will never take off as a portable handheld.

Also, comparing the relationship between NSwitch and XBScorpio to one between the 360 and the DS is ridiculous. NSwitch will function at least somewhat if not mostly as a home console. And in many respects it will be competing with the PS4 and XB1 for market share. It's important for Nintendo to distinguish the NX so that some people may find it useful as an alternative option or secondary console, but in the end there will be people weighing the pros and cons of whether to buy either the Switch or one of the other consoles, come holiday 2017.

What you are proposing is not going to happen.
