I get offended when people flip flop between it being HH or console depending if they need to show strong points of it being HH instead of console (like saying well I can play it on the go so it being weaker isn't even a concern) but back to being a console if they want to compare sales... then it is more of a console when battery life or price of games is pointed at.

I perfectly accept Switch as a HH that can be plugged to the TV a little more streamlined than PSP or PSVita, but shenanigans as "I have always been a playstation fanboy, but haven't bought a PS4 because it doesn't have 5 must have games... hey I bought Switch because Skyrim on the go is like a totally different game". Of course pretending there aren't other systems that were HH and could be used on the TV and that Nintendo created the switch as if not an improved NVidia Shield.

There is a big difference between saying "I don't care much about graphics, but love portability" to "graphics doesn't matter". Nintendo decision to be low powered isn't due to portability, is something they have been doing since Wii. At the time the apologies where the type "but it's fun", "it's novel", "it have motion controller" as if those couldn't be achieved if the system was stronger...

And of course when ports doesn't go to switch it is because devs hate Nintendo, not because of Nintendo own choices.

Can you show me a single example of someone flip flopping in this thread or in general?

Nothing you said really applies to this thread so you just seem bitter for no apparent reason.

"I have always been a playstation fanboy, but haven't bought a PS4 because it doesn't have 5 must have games... hey I bought Switch because Skyrim on the go is like a totally different game" graphics doesn't matter".

Maybe i missed it, but i havent seen anybody in this thread say anything like this.

In general you can see since the start of the gen for the discussion if Switch is more a console that you take on the go or hh that you plug on tv (Nintendo themselves call it a console). So people use the time HH and time console as a shield wanting to only accept the good points of it being in both words while covering the shortcomings... Giving links for vgc itself is a nightmare on search mechanism and you know it. But sure in this thread you won't see a flip flop because it is basically people defending the shortcoming exclusively focusing in it being a portable (with of course the coupe out of playing console games) but you certainly have seem a lot of people comparing its sales as a console to PS4.

And you seem to be very focused on what have been said in this thread instead of accepting that what they said on this thread if it was a different subject they would be focusing on the console parts for things like low battery duration, size and weight of the system or any other not outstanding portability features.

In the end Switch being a hybrid (that for me is more a portable than a console) will have positives and negatives from both portions, and the key point is that for its owner the balance for the positive and for people that don't want it the balance go for the negative (like a lot of console owners, like me, who don't play portable... I only commute driving and prefer to play on the position of couch + tv and for that the below average graphics of Switch is a detractor).
