You don't take the system out. You take a part of the system. It's not at its main power on portable form.

Yeah, sure, it has a fun option that lets you underpower it and take it with you for a bit. But it IS still a home console at its primary function. It's portability is a secondary function.

Say if you consider the Vita a controller for the PS4 cause its what i can do, its the same thing. So... yeah... PS4 confirmed portable with that logic.

 

Yes you do, the dock isn't the Switch, the screen is the Switch itself. That it doesn't run at full power while portable doesn't mean anything, the screen is a less demanding 720p and all games are playable in both modes.

Call it what you like, that's all just scemantics. What matters is that it can be used as a handheld, that's all it needs to make another handheld redundant. You've also admitted that it is indeed portable, thus can function as a handheld.

Yup, needing two seperate devices is exactly the same as what the Switch needs to be portable. How does the Vita remote play thing even work anyway? I find it hard to believe that you can play it while far away from the PS4 much like how the Wii U gamepad has limits.

It would be nice if it was semantics but it is what it is. Games won't be design to play on the go, they will be designed for a TV experience. You just have the option to underpower it and take it with you for a bit. The fact that it's underpowered is an important factor here as, again, experiences will be designed with that power in mind and the portable form as an nice extra option. Just like the PS4 games running on the Vita are not designed for Vita.

And btw just cause you need to separatly buy the devices or them coming in the same bundle does not affect the fact that they are two separate objects that need to be used in unison for this purpose.If they were sold separatly would that make it clearer for you?

Vita remote play uses an internet connection. You can play it anywhere you got a reception on.
