If there is a post saying Switch success this week doesn't count compared to PS4 and XBO because is not a home console, then you're right (i did not read every post, but what i read i did not find anything like that, so if i missed it, then i'm sorry).

But what i said is still true, these threads are the ones that attract more people here each week (and even more in holiday season) and many posters want to add something related to sales that not exist in other threads (and don't want to create a thread or don't know how to do it just for that comment).

In short, if someone here said, "Switch success is irrelevant because it's not a home console like PS4 or XBO, so in reality the mighty PS4 is the winner" or something similar like you protest, you are right and you should report the post to mods if you consider it necessary. If not, let the mods decide.

Why a statement like that would have to be reported?

It sounds like a stupid statement, but it's not personally offensive or racist or hate speech of sorts.

Well ya of course the hardware is in the portable part and has to use a CPU that can be used with a portable form factor.........you couldnt use it portably if it didn't which would no longer make it a hybrid, that's just common sense.

And there is no such thing as a tablet CPU, there are CPUs that can be used in tablets but that doesnt make it a tablet CPU. The form factor of the device is what determines if something is a tablet, PC, console, handheld, etc. not the CPU.

The Tegra line is also used in self-driving cars, they are not tablets because of that, they are still cars.

When you say portable part you mean the entire useful part, because the rest of it is just plastic and cables to make the "portable part" elegantly connect to a TV

Again, if the hardware was inside the dock instead of the handheld component than it would not be able to function as a hybrid, it would be a fully stationary device or something like Wii U where you could only play within 20-30 feet of the base unit.

In order to make something a full-fledged hybrid, it needs to have the ability to be fully portable which is only possible if the hardware is in the portable component.

And no it's not just plastic/cables to make portable part connect to TV. It has increased performance when docked, comes with a fully functioning console controller and it plays console games, not like Gameboy Player or Vita which just let you play your handheld games on a TV.
