It came out in the same month they launched their previous handheld. It uses mobile technology and all of that technology is in... believe it or not, the handheld unit. The dock is an accessory that now in Japan, you can buy Switch without. Imagine if Switch had launched, exactly as it is, but the dock was sold separately. 99% of you would see it for what it is, a handheld. But marketing has you fooled. And this is not me making fun of Switch. I have been one of the biggest supporters of Switch since the moment it was announced. I have even argued with people and asked, "when was the last time a Nintendo handheld had bad third-party support?" the correct answer is never. Nintendo makes killer handhelds and this console being a handheld pretty much secured its success. It is not a home console so this topic should be cast to the shadow realm. |
As a handheld it technically would be 6th gen because Virtualboy exists.
