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 or cellphone or tablet on a television or from an outlet in lieu of the battery power as well. That does not make my laptop a hybrid, however.

A hybrid laptop is generally one which combines (keep this word in mind) the usability of a traditional laptop and tablet together. A reference would be the Yoga. Many hybrid laptops are flexible, have a touch screen, and yet keep the same processor. It simply just finds a sweet spot for both sides.

 

You seem to constantly move the goal line for the Switch. How the hell is it not a hybrid? You can literally use the damn console like any other console. You can also take it outside like any other damn console.

 

A hybrid console/handheld doesn't need to have separate processors just to make it a hybrid.

"Constantly move the goal line..."

I have stated the one requirement for the console in question to be a hybrid and you are saying I, "constantly move the goal line..." like... wow.

How you use something does not determine what that something is. I already used two examples to prove that point. Wii U is not a hybrid. It is a home console. I use those standards, consistently, to determine if something is a home console, handheld console, or hybrid.

It is OK for you to think you are correct. But speaking in a literal sense, this console is a handheld with awesome features... just like a laptop with a touchscreen (my laptop for example) is not a hybrid, it is a laptop that has a touchscreen. My cellphone has a lot of computer technology in it, and I use it like a computer more than my own computer and more than I use it as a cellphone. But it is not a hybrid, it is a cellphone. I cannot be more clear:

Home console: Computer processing is in the docked station with no additional processing in the controller or handheld unit (see: Wii U).

Hybrid: Computer processing is in both the docked station as well as the handheld unit (I have no example because one does not exist).

Handheld: All computer processing is done within the handheld unit. The dock holds no processing (see: Switch).

Goalposts are set, right there. I have not and will not budge from this position.
