That's the vita/PS4/PS3 part sorted, look at the definition of handheld I linked you earlier Wii U doesn't fall under that as you're rooted to one singular location your home while a handheld by definition allows gaming everywhere so by that definition Wii U is not a handheld much like the same way a cordless house phone is not a mobile phone as a result Wii U is not a hybrid.

A Handheld is any gaming device you hold in your hands. The range/distance you can take it is not what the term "handheld" entails.

So yes, the WiiU is a handheld. It's also a fixed console. Thus a hybrid.

A cordless house phone is also a "hybrid". - It melds two concepts together... A fixed home phone and a mobile phone.

As for your question PSone and PS2 had screen attachment accessories that allowed gaming with out TVs.

Fantastic.

Wii U is not a handheld as it doesn't fall under the handheld definition of allowing play in multiple locations your house is just one location so no it's not a handheld and not a hybrid, people aren't bringing up range distance as what defines being a handheld they're bringing it up because if you can't move away from the fixed console unit then you can't play in any other location.
