There is no such thing as a hybrid of portable and console. If a device is portable, then it is not a home console. 

Switch's hardware is mobile. Its form factor is mobile. The dock and the detachable controllers are just additional features, no different from PSP's ability to be connected to a TV, or Vita's ability to stream PS4 games wirelessly.

But there is, Switch is hybrid, hardware, OS, controllers, games, features...all are made in order that Switch can be used like real home console and real handheld. Of Course that hybrid of home console and handheld needs to be portable also in order to be used like handheld also, you can't have hybrid of home console and hybrid if you can't use device like handheld offcourse. Switch in hands is portable device, Switch in dock with separate controller in your hands makes Switch home device, so there you have form factor of handheld and home console.

If CPU or GPU are mobile doesnt mattar at all (XB1/PS4 CPU is notebook CPU, so that makes it mobile CPU also), form factor is bouth portable and home. Dock and detachable controllers are not additional features, they are core and essential features of Switch for using like real home console of course, same like using Switch like handheld on go.

Again you constantly ignoring clear facts, Switch can be ue used like real home console with all features of home console, basically Switch has all features like of home console, and of handheld, thats why its a hybrid.

At end, you can keep deny all arguments and facts and you consider Switch just for version of PSP, but reality is totally different.

That's not a clear fact, it's marketing PR.

It's normal for new generations of portables to add features, like PSP connecting to a TV or Vita streaming PS4 games, Switch is simply the next logical step.

Oh, and guess what; turns out you can play PSP on a TV with an external controller too.
