If the criteria to be a hybrid/home console is to have a dock/cradle that just allows you to quickly and easily connect to the TV, then the PSP should count.  If not, then you guys are using some mental gymnastics to make it seem any different.

Though, I may have to take off the Vita, as I'm not 100% sure it's cradle worked that way.

The criteria to not be a handheld is that the device offers proper home console functionality when connected to a TV. Obvious example: Neither the PSP or PSV offer splitscreen multiplayer for their games; Switch does.

For people who gamed on Nintendo home consoles in the past, none of the usual functionality is being lost. Switch is legitimately a hybrid.

I personally still consider it a handheld though. And I could state my reasns but i have learnt that this is always a very touchy subject so I won't.

Home console, hybrid, handheld...... it doesn't relly matter. i am more interested in seeing how it will be performing by this time next year. nintendo's hardware succeeding or failing doesn't make a difference to me being that the majority of games I play aren't even on the platform. At the end of the day I thik thats really all that matters.
