That's a redundant phrase. It's a video game console. You can argue it is a hybrid of a handheld console and a home console, but it is still a console nonetheless.

See, it is listed here (under home consoles):

Funny you say that when a good amount of detractors have been saying part of the reason why the Switch is successful is because it's a handheld.

Did I say the switch wasn't a handheld console? The Switch is a handheld console that comes with an AV-out dock in almost every box. The only thing that makes it a "hybrid" is the fact that you can link multiple external controllers to it, and no other handheld console has done that before. Everything else is really just form factor and packaging.
