@ Bold - The Wii U had portable mode just like the Switch. The Switch more closely resembles the Wii U with a new design for its tablet controller. The reason I point this out is because the Wii U didn't attract the 3DS audience. Price of hardware as well as price of games are key here. Developing on the Switch is going to drive up costs as opposed to developing on the 3DS or its successor. Everything beyond these facts are nothing but guess work, which is fun as I've made some predictions myself, but I don't see the Switch attracting mainly the 3DS audience when that audience pays $169 for hardware and $40 for a game.

The fact the Wii U had a portable mode but was still considered a home consoles vindicates my points. The Switch has a TV mode but likewise should still be considered a portable.  

 

The ps4 can be played remotely on a phone or vita.  Doesn't make it a portable.  And I don't agree the Switch is the home console evolution.  Do you think the ps5 won't be a 4k power house beast?  Instead do you think they'll go with weaker hardware and make it portable? I doubt it. 

You're the only one that considers the Switch a portable. Most people consider it a console.

Power is nice and all but you people play games not power. The Switch is changing how we play games. Home consoles have always been you come home and play but the Switch you can play anywhere. Also 4K on the PS5 wont be a huge deal because its already happening with some Pro games and later the Scorpio. Theres no point in argueing any further because it seems that you will still think the Switch is a handled regardless.
