But there is a difference. When the house is on the truck, it isn't really meant for living. Its meant for travelling to the next place it will be placed.

Switch is pretty much a RV. Its main purpose is to travel. It does it well. Even to do it right, you still have to deal with its massive size, gas mileage and the costs associated with driving it. You can live in it like a house. But its not a house. Many concessions must take place for it to happen.

Face it. Switch is a handheld with a TV out. Its not a home console.

This is yet another case of semantics, and one that will be used to fuel the console wars further. Arguments that will be made due to calling things which favor one conclusion or another.

 

  • The switch is a handheld therefore if it beats PS numbers it will be disqualified.
  • The switch is a handheld and therefore Nintendo concedes victory to PS.
  • The switch is a handheld and therefore does not warrant 3rd party attention like other more "serious" consoles.
  • The switch is a handheld therefore it is not a serious gaming experience, like how all the "big" games come out on PSXB.
Honestly, who cares what you call it, it's what it is. A machine that can be played at home or on the go, with all the gaming library available to previously split platforms.

 

You're right. What matters is what Nintendo calls it. Nintendo calls it a home console, and that is a lie.
