So again, the Switch is a home console hybrid that allows you to play home console games on the go. 

It really isn't - in essence it's a custom designed gaming tablet that comes with controllers and dock that enables it to connect to TV (which can be replaced with 3rd party cable bundles that do the same thing). Everything else is Nintendo's clever marketing....which obviously works.

Incorrect, as it actually functions differently based on being docked and undocked.  One can easily point out how it was designed as a console, but added the screen and the ability to downclock the CPU/GPU when undocked to allow for portability.  It is not capable of outputting docked performance in handheld mode as it was designed for console play.

 

If it was just a tablet with an HDMI out, then you might have a point.  But it isn't, as it actually changes what it does based on being dockdd/undocked.
