Man you're reaching, but ok I'll bite.
God of War Chains of Olympus was a PSP game, does that make the PS3 a portable?
Gravity Rush was a portable game that was initially a VITA release, is the PS4 a portable because of Gravity Rush 2?
An IP can start on a handheld, and move to a console and vice versa. It means nothing as it is all about the content. If the next pokemon game is on a completely different level, it was not designed as a handheld game.
Take Zelda for example. Was Twilight Princess a portable game because Minish Cap existed? Or was Minish Cap console caliber because of Twilight Princess? It is all about the content of the game being released, not of previous games in the franchise.
Also, as per my example, just because a handheld game gets ported to a console or has portable and console versions, like Dragon Quest XI being on 3DS in Japan, it does not change what it is being ported to into a handheld. With that said, your point about The World Ends With You makes zero sense what so ever.
And on the note of Dragon Quest, it and other games that fit this category, always have their Switch ports being scaled from the PS4 version, NOT the respective 3DS or VITA versions of said game. If the Switch was developed for as a portable rather than a home console, would it not be the other way around?

Except you can't play ps3 on the go. Is ps vita a home console as well by that logic since you can dock it to TV? Even psp?

So you are saying that just because the PS3 plays portable games, it is still a home console? Good then you see how pointleas it is to say that a 3DS port to Switch is meaningless in the debate as well.
The Vita and PSP can connect to a TV sure, but they are not like the Switch.
The Switch literally changes functionality when undocked, altering its form factor. This is why there are resolution and frame rate differences between the two modes. And seeing how there are no portable only games, but docked only games can exist, it leans towards being a home console.
