Great OP post.
Two things are extremely worrying:
1. Is the Switch just a tablet you can hook up to your TV (just like you can with all tablets)? If yes, then I feel like I have been deceived. If the Switch is just a handheld console disguised as a hybrid then I'm not buying it.
2. Nintendo PR so far has been a disaster. I agree that you don't reveal a new console and then just shut your mouth. And the only information you add is the extremely confusing claim that the Switch is a home console while the successor to the 3DS is not decided yet. WTH?
You can't announce a console and then not announce any games. You just can't.
