You could also see that as a retreat from the classic handheld market because of the  strength  of the tablets and smartphones, the best times for handheld`s are over....

If you put blinders on, sure. We could see it your way. We could also see Switch as a retreat from the classic home console market.

But taking a step back to see the big picture, it should become clear that Switch is not a retreat from either market, but quite the opposite. By combining games that were previously spread across three platforms (Wii U, 3DS and Vita), it's a console that is stronger as a home gaming system and as a portable system. That's why Switch is in high demand right now and that's why demand will rise even further in the future when more people begin to realize how versatile the platform is and how rich its game library is.

And if you go another step back and put away your blinders away then you would see that Smartphones and tablets destroyed the handheld market (NDS+NDsL vs. 3ds) and that the way to create a hybrid console is the only way to not compete directly with xbox one and ps4, dont interpret me wrong its a nice idea and it will sell "well" (@ Xbox One Level)  but to think the switch will sell on the wii level is dreaming.
