This argument is fallacious as all the processing comes from the handheld unit. A hybrid has processing coming from both units. You can say there are advantages to using it in television mode but there are advantages to using my laptop on a television or from an outlet in lieu of the battery power as well. That does not make my laptop a hybrid, however.

You are simply twisting the definition to fit your own view.Then what would be a "home console"?Does it need to be constantly in need of a power supply?Because thats what the Switch is, if you put it on the dock.I could go on actually, but today I already had too many arguments that went nowhere, so Ill just say this:

The Switch has both functionalities that mirrors both home and handheld consoles.Handheld with its portability and screen on the main unit and home console because it can connect directly to a TV, have a constrant stream of power and is as functional as a home console as a PS4 in terms of functionality(Its really obvious to me, so I cant really give a good example), and even has the boost in that mode.

In the end, definitions of a home and handheld console are really vague.Thats why we have those silly discussion about what is it, and some even going to say sillier things like its a tablet just because of the form factor.But I think, or like to think anyway, that given all the functionalities that the Switch does and offers, that it is clearly a hybrid unit.

But think what you might.Im really tired today, and not in a mood to go back and forth with this.

Already defined, "home console". Processing in docking unit, none in the handheld (see: Wii U).

 

Relax, I am calling the console what it literally is. Just as I call a laptop or my cellphone what they literally are. I am not twisting anything. It is a handheld. Nothing wrong with that.

 

How you use something does not determine what it actually is. My girlfriend uses a chopstick to hold her hair up. She never uses it for food because she does not know how. Is a chopstick now a hybrid? No, it is a chopstick that can be used in more than one way.

edit: a better example of my last paragraph is how I use my cellphone. I obviously use my cellphone for facebook, instagram, twitter, and snapchat more than I use it for making calls or text messaging. Note: I still called it my cellphone and not a hybrid or a computer.
