What the hell are you even talking about?

"so much ignorance"

What ignorance? The things said in OP come straight out of the horse's mouth, do you know better than Nintendo?

"it is a gaming console"

Of course it is, when you play the semantics game anything that has something resembling a game is a gaming console, my old Tamagochi as well! When people say "console" it's clear what they mean by that, there's a clear distinction between consoles and handheld. The Switch is basically a handheld, you will never need to connect it to the dock to play games.

"no justification for negative reaction or pessimism"

There's no negative reaction, I'm not dooming or glooming Nintendo, I'm not even giving my opinion. Just stating the facts.

I have to disagree with you, there are home consoles & handheld consoles, both are consoles! The Switch is first & foremost a handheld console to use Nintendo phrasing, not a home console like they say.

& just to be factual, you'll need to connect it to the dock to play games, because you need to charge it ;P but I get what you say & agree, you won't need it to be hooked to the TV to play it, you can spend a lifetime playing it on the go, so definitly 1st & foremost a handheld console!!!

But guys, why not flip this around? I could use the Switch as a home console all the time and never take it out of the dock as well. I can spend a lifetime playing it on my TV, so definitely 1st & foremost a home console!!!
