Its what I've been saying. At least Nintendo quit beating around the bushes. Now maybe people can stop with trying to claim that a tablet is a home console.

I wonder are they done with traditional home consoles forever? 

I think they are. I'm thinking this is the last real hardware Nintendo makes. I'm sure there will be a SNES Mini and maybe a N64 Mini. But to me, Switch is their transitional hardware before going full mobile. When they go full mobile, they will instead make a lineup of controllers that fit phones and have bluetooth connectivity and instead offer their games through a mobile platform like ios and android.

Wii U will be the last home console they will ever make. Switch will be their last handheld. I used to think that Nintendo would be the last hardware maker, but they might be the first one out the door.
