The fuck? It's literally portable. I have seen people in public playing on a bench. This is like saying a Smartphone or 3DS isn't portable. It's dumb.

See, this is why i cba with fans. What is it's main function? Where is it at it's full power? When it's docked. That's it. You have the option to underpower it and take it around, so it has that option. Now please, come up with all the convuluted twists i don't care about.

Seriously though, this has nothing to do with what we were discussing. I don't believe a monster unter HD will be exclusive to switch, but we'll see. That's all. I don't care about your views on wether you think it's a portable or not. 

Essentially this is a distinction without difference. One could argue that the Switch's natural operating mode is the handheld mode and that it is over clocked in console mode because power constraints have been lifted, that is not important. 

 

For what it matters to Japanese Monster Hunter players and gamers in general the switch is portable. They can play local coop at work or school. They can play on the train. That is what matters. Not how it scales its resources or by what other means it can be played. Japanese like portable Monster Hunters because they support local coop, and they can play in their transient lifestyles. That is all that is relevant to this topic.
