The games I mentioned, no, and even if that were true to a significant degree it has nothing to do with whether or not the Switch is portable.

The bolded is you admitting it's portable. That you think it's a secondary function doesn't change the fact that it can be played on the go.

Again, terms like "main purpose" and "secondary" n "primary" are irrelevant. It's playable on the go, that's all that matters in terms of whether or not the system is portable. Though, seeing as the whole point of the Switch is to be played anywhere, it's portability is definitely a big part of it's main purpose. You can't play anywhere if a TV and wall outlet are required.

If its irrelevant then the PS4 is a portable cause it has the same function with the Vita. That logic = zero sense.

Sure, if you want to get fooled by the advertisement, even though Nintnendo themselves say the Swtich is a home console. Go watch the Fire emblem direct, they say it. So, this is your opinion vs what Nintendo themselves recognised.

Yup the most popular games on 3ds lately have been like that, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Monster Hunter...wait a second

I get the impression you are trying to just throw dirt in the air here. Yes, Fire emblem, pokemon and monster hunter ARE designed for short bursts of play. I don't even know how you can say such an outrageous thing.

 

Okay sure fine whatever, the PS4 is/isn't portable, whichever you prefer. Now what does that have to do with whether or not the Switch is portable? Oh, right, nothing! 

Yeah they just put in a screen and battery and detachable controllers for no reason, and despite that stuff it's totally just a regular old home console that's only playable with TV and outlet, that's totally it! lol the advertisement isn't lying, the Switch is ment to be and can be played anywhere. That's not my opinion, it is a fact that because of the aforementioned features the system is portable, and the portability is the whole point of the console since why else would those features be there in place of a significant graphical leap that home consoles normally get. I mean why do you think it's called "Switch?" 

Probably because playing 5-15 minutes a day will get you literally no where in those games. Not sure how you don't know that, I mean you even have a Fire Emblem avatar.
