Yes, it is the best of handhelds. You're just nitpicking and trying to dislike a product for the sake of disliking it.

 

I'd get it if the switch was 8 inches and weighed 10 pounds, but it isn't. It's very mobile, similar to how the ds was mobile  (even with how thick it was).

I'm being realist about the concept of hybrid system. There will be compromises on both fronts. We alreadly see that the battery life is poor. The games will also be more expensive and put small publisher in a tough position, where even small handheld games must be developed to be played on a big screen.

This is not something that you can understand rigth now since the system didn't came out and you seems to be pretty sure that the concept has no shortcoming. But few years from now you will be agreening with me. See you in 3 years.

What? I never said it was perfect. However, the system manages to solve both the 3DS and Wii U's issues. 

 

Snake Pass was running on the Switch in a week and will release alongside the other systems. They're a small publisher and managed to do it just fine. The battery life is equivalent to the 3DS. 2.5-6 hours is close to the same thing, even though the 3DS is laughably weaker. 

 

I'm not saying the Switch will sell as much as the DS. Literally no one is saying that. Expecting it to flop like the Wii U is pretty unrealistic though.
