So can somebody tell me what's the definition of gimmick? What's gimmicky about portability? What's gimmicky about having detachable controls which allow you to play outside easily, in a trip with your friends or something? Also, it's very Nintendo-like, trying to have a focus in social gaming. Kind of refreshing after all this VR hype lately.

gimmick is typically defined as a special feature for the sake of a special feature, something that really doesnt have a meaningful purpose and is just there to be different.

based on that, i wouldnt really consider Switch to be gimmicky since the concept of consolidating their two product lines into one serves an actual purpose.

Yep, basically this. But in gaming world, everything that deviates from the standard setup is considered gimmicky. Boooring. It's just a dock station which converts your portable into a home console. Which is the core concept of Switch xD.
