You have been making the point that is an hybrid just to suport your point that it should sell just as much as a Nintendo console and handheld combined to be considered succesful, which is quite absurd.

It is an hybrid, that part alone is pretty much right.

Exatly, despite point that Switch is hybrid, its still one device and one platform, for instance Wii U and 3DS are two totally different platforms, with different price points, different lineup of games, different marketings...so comparing sales of one device and one platform (despite with two totally different platforms) definitely is not best comparison.

No, people were mocking you because you illogically think that Switch should sell 3DS and Wii U numbers combined.

Agree.

So...... my 3DS is a home console since I primarily use it at home as opposed to arcades or other commercial establishment? No. Your definition is incorrect.

Nobody called Wii U a hybrid because it ISN'T a hybrid. A hybrid does not have to offer a full experience, just a combination for a greater experience than the sum of its separated parts.

Well thats meaning of video home console from Wiki, not my definition. But I think that we can agree that home console means console that's used for playing just at home on TV.

Agree that Wii U wasnt hybrid, it was just home console with tablet like controler, but Switch is a hybrid, people calling Switch hybrid because offers full home console experience and full handheld experience in same time.

Nobody has ever denied that the Switch itself is a hybrid machine.

Actually you have some people who deny that, even in this thread (post above).

As I already stated, how you play it does not determine what it actually is. The fact that people feel it offers a home console experience does not make it a home console or a hybrid. My laptop can reproduce desktop performance and be hooked up to a monitor or televison... it even came with the cables to do so. Does that somehow make my laptop a hybrid? No. It is just a diverse laptop at best or a reuglar ass laptop to most people.

The non subjective way to determine a hybrid is by its quantifiable physical hardware. It does not have to offer a certain experience to be a hybrid (a hybrid car does not have to offer the same gas mileage as a petrol fueled car in order to be call a hybrid). That is not what determines a hybrid and has never been what determines a hybrid.
