I still think you're massively overselling the value of a device that straddles two crowded markets and offers less as a console than PS4/Xbone and less convenience than a phone for gaming on the go, but I guess the only all-knowing judge is time. Let's check back in come 2018 and see where we're at.

It doesn't straddle two markets. No one complains about a laptop being weaker than a desktop and no one complains about a laptop being less portable than a phone. It's a different thing. This is exactly why I hate that the internet dubbed this thing a hybrid. It's not. It's something separate. It's a portable home console.

But you're right. Time is the wisest judge. This could be for moot anyway because so much can go wrong, starting with multiplatform support.

It doesn't straddle two markets because Nintendo has basically rendered themselves irrelevant in the console market. This is mainly going to sell to 3DS owners which is what 85% of Nintendo's hardware base is whittled down to. This is not something someone is going to buy to replace their PS4 other than a very niche part of the market.
