Obviously they want to show off what makes it different. They'd be stupid not to. And I agree that technically it's a portable, but I wouldn't expect it to get treated like one - at least right away. They'll treat it as a home console for a good while, I'm sure.

Well I don't see Nintendo releasing a 3DS sucessor now with the NS so it's best if Nintendo treats this as a handheld equally as a home console.

....unless they still plan to release a new handheld soon O_o

I wouldn't consider a new handheld impossible. 3DS must still be very profitable, and a new handheld would also have potential to be profitable. And Switch is kind of big, so there could still be room for a smaller device too. Anyway, whatever's best is more or less irrelevant right now, because Nintendo seems to consider it a home console (for now at least). Maybe they'll aim it more towards the handheld market too in the future, but we'll have to wait for that.
