Well, I didn't buy Switch for the "console experience on the go" - the Switch is a home console. And I've only used it as such thus far, that's why I bought it. I think the success of the Switch has almost nothing to do with its portability, I just think Nintendo came out with a clean, simple console that has a steady flow of quality titles. Not too hard to figure out.

Meanwhile i have used the Switch almost exclusively in handheld mode since launch. I also almost never play it outside, but the ease traveling with it is a major plus for me.

Nintendo has always delivered big experiences on their handhelds, but made them convinient for on-the-go use. Zelda, Pokemon, 2D Metroid as well as third party games like FF or MH have always been big experiences made convenient through clever saving mechanics and design. I think that is something Nintendo just carried through to their Switch titles.

It is all about flexibility.
