You called the Switch a handheld, and therefore you are talking about handheld mode.  If you are using table top mode, it is no different than playing on a TV with a small screen.  You cannot pick it up and take it with you while you play, it is still stationary.  Mario Party cannot be played in handheld mode, that is my point.

 

In fact, let it also be pointed out that Super Mario Party is and has always been a console game.  By your own logic, that makes Switch a home console.

"If you are using table top mode, it is no different than playing on a TV with a small screen" except you will need a HD TV in that case but in fact you don't.  "Super Mario Party is and has always been a console game" Ahem: Mario Party Advance  (GBA), Mario Party DS, Mario Party: Island Tour (3ds) and Mario Party Star Rush. I will agree if these game don't exist. 

Finally, name me a home console that have screen, battery and can be played on the go anywhere at any time?

PS4/VITA combo with remote play, Nvidia Shield, Sega Nomad

 

Name me a handheld that plays current gen console games, has different performance setting based on being docked and undocked (since it is not just a handheld with an HDMI out), has even one game that cannot be played handheld, and recieves full support from 1st party CONSOLE IPs.

 

You got me on Mario Party, but you also kind of prove an earlier point I made...

 

Pokemon Stadium

Pokemon Snap

Pokken Tournament

Pokemon Lets Go (😉)

 

If those games do not exist, Pokemon games can be said to only be on handhelds.  Also let it be shown that wikipedia has the Switch listed as a Hybrid Console.  When you click the definition of Hyrbid Console it takes you to this page...

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console#Eighth_generation

 

Where it is classified under HOME CONSOLE and grouped with the PS4, X1, and WiiU.  Right below it, it lists the handheld consoles of this generation as 3DS and VITA.
