While tablets can offer features similar as Switch, they lack the software support to make them compelling. I mean the best reaons to do that with a tablet is probably emulation.

Wii U was a pretty traditional home console but it was not going head on with Sony and MS. Does that mean it wasn't a home console? No. Nintendo is looking for an audience Sony and MS aren't spending billions to fight for.

It was going head to head with Sony and MS. It just did a terrible job at doing that, lol. 

If Sony made this exact same product and it was called "Sony Switch" and there was no Playstation 4, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would say Sony is getting out of the traditional console business. Because they basically would be. 

This isn't even like the previous two Nintendo consoles where they were underpowered but had a new controller gimmick to basically "replace" the lack of power. This is a portable game machine with a plastic dock that lets it play on a TV, but every other design aspect is basically it being a portable. 

Sony doesn't know how to make local multiplayer games. That's what really makes a console a home console.
