Is this factor that Im ignoring?

This piece of data that Nintendo has given us, showing that the usage in both modes are about the same?That the handheld mode is just slightly more popular, but not enough so to be dominant?This is the allmighty evidence that the Switch is a handheld?
And please, you are smarter than that.If you go by what you said in your last sentence, then the PS4 is also a hybrid, because I can carry around!I mean, I would need a TV and a power source but hell, that is carriable too!
Look, sorry If I come off as too blunt, but I cant understand how people dont see the Swtch as a hybrid.You can consider it as a handheld or a home console for yourself, thats more than fair.Its what you want it to be for you.But in pratical terms(read it as without being subjective to what you want the system to be) it has the functionality of both devices in one, making it into a system that works both ways.And that also works because that idea is built into its core.Its not an afterthought, not a reaction.It is the cornerstone upon which the Switch is made.

Yes it have functionality of both. And to me it leans much more to the HH side. But what you are saying is saying it doesn't lean to the HH, but that 3rd parties should have looked at the sucess of HH and support the platform. It is or it isn't.
And on the source you sent HH is 50% more predominant than docked... altough half the userbase at the moment do both almost equally. I haven't seen that before, thanks for the source. I was going from the impression on this forum that had like 80% people talking more on the HH usage and how it was appealing to buy 7y old game just because it would be portable now.
And the analogy of the PS4 doesn't make sense because it doesn't have any of the points that would go to a HH.

The console its a hybrid and I always said it is a hybrid, not a handheld you can play on TV and not a homeconsole you can play on the go, a hybrid, and following the data Nintendo gave us its pretty obvious the public is seeing it like that, since they use both docked and undocked mode with similar frequency. Those defending Switch was a HH you can play on TV weren't more wrong than those saying the opposite (probably you were one of those, right?).
I don't know about those brains that thought WiiU would be a smashing success, I just know mine wasn't one of them.

To me it is a HH that connects to TV because of the features and design is made much more closer to HH than to console. But yes, it's a hybrid (yet not that far from PSVita or even Cellphones in that sense).
Yours weren't per your admission, but on this forum as far as I remember the pools indicated WiiU would be a sucess until it wasn't.
