Theere is no drama here.Im just trying to clear this misconception about the Switch.If you see a nice conversation as a drama, its because you want to see it as one.
Now, it should be noted that exceptions should be excluded.There will be always people that are too enthusiastic about their consoles of choice for their own good, like Jranation, Kerotan and Dr. Vita.It should go without saying that, outside of a few situations, they will always try to spin the news and information in their favor.
Having said that, the Switch is clearly a hybrid.I dont understand how people cannot understand this.You can see it as a handheld or a home console in the sense that you use exclusively as it is, but the console is designed to be both.Being a home console or a handheld is not defined by where the main hardware is, as one user believes, but rather how that hardware is used and is designed to be used.The problem with your Vita example is that first of all, when you buy a vita it doestn come with a Vita TV.Its two separate products.If you classify that as a hybrid product, I could say the same about PCs and laptops.If I have both, would that then make my PC a hybrid?Of course not.Second point is that the Vita TV is a half assed product.I dont mean in the sense that games doesnt feel like a home console experience, but rather that the hardware itself is not up to snuff, as in very few games actually work with it.
For the Switch though, its the complete oposite.Both its sidesare considered equaly.It was designed as such from the get go.Its not a handheld, its not a home console, and not even a tablet(If the form a product defined what it was, definition of a word nowadays would be such a choes lol).It is,what is is because ofhow it was designed to do things and not by its form factor or by how much teraflops it has.
