Everytime Switch is discussed here it becomes such personal for some people here that i don't understand it. You become a hater, a downplayer, an usual suspect or you have an agenda of some sorts if you don't align with the opinion of some people here. You end not arguing about the system itself but about the feelings of the posters. SWICH IS A GREAT CONSOLE THAT IS SELLING GREAT. But like with anything in life, we can think different in how good a thing is or why you think is good. Nobody should feel attacked if others feel different about your favorite console.

I consider myself Switch a handheld that can be used as a home console with a big TV, and i find the idea GENIUS for the part of Nintendo but i don't want Sony to copy the idea either. I think it work wonders for Nintendo because that way they can lead where they always did, handhelds, but at the prices of a home console. Like i said, it's genius and the best move Nintendo could have ever done.

If people want to call it a hybrid. It's fine, i can accept it i guess. But to me is a hybrid like one of those amphibious cars they made in Top Gear where they built a car to work in the water....XDDDDD. It worked but everyone with eyes could see it was a car.

It's clearly trying to downplay when its brought up out of nowhere in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

If this thread was called "Nintendo Switch: Handheld or Home console" or "why is Switch selling so well?" the debate would make sense and it would be hard to justify calling it downplaying since that is the topic of discussion but this thread is about sales for a specific week so saying that Switch is a handheld and not a competitor to PS4 was brought up for no reason other than downplay the fact that it had such a great week.
