I'm not arguing about what the Switch is, i'm just making observations about where i think it currently sits in the market. Those observations have at no point lead me to claim it's 'competing as only one type of hardware' though. In-fact the post you're replying to is largely focused on highlighting the absence of that point, and the related reasons.

As for usage, Nintendo don't show an even distribution. They show about half of people use it for both, 19% primarily as a home console, and just over 30% primarily as a home console (50%+ more). In the absence of more specific details from Nintendo, that implies a handheld bias. The effect of that is up for debate, and I've expressed my opinion on it.

Your observation is pushing the notion that it's competing more as a portable vs home consoles which is untrue it's competing fully as a Hybrid that's where it sits in the market that's what my post is highlighting to you.

No you just assume that 50% is more geared towards handheld when in actual fact the data tells us flat out it's being used as a hybrid device like intended with people using it according to their gaming habits, using it in portable mode doesn't really do that much for your point either because many households have shared TVs so undocked mode comes into play then as well.
