When the Lite was first announced, someone here asked if it would be officially counted together with the original, and the answer was "yes, because they share the same library." I don't remember if it was CGI or Trunks who answered.

Also, someone at Twitter asked the same to Mat Piscatella and his answer was the exact same one. I'm still trying to understand this thought process.

And how does that mean people are calling it a home console?

Just three posts above Curl said this: "I really don't see the issue; moving forwards there won't be any more major dedicated handheld systems once 3DS and Vita are completely gone, it'll just be Switch vs Playstation vs Xbox, one primary platform for each of the big three. Separating console vs handhelds seems like an archaic and outdated system in this new environment."

And that is the issue, the Switch Lite IS a dedicated handheld system. People act like Nintendo dropped out of the handheld console business when in reality they dropped out of the DEDICATED home console business.

And on the last "Year on Year Sales & Market Share Charts" it is stated that Nintendo has 96.8% market share (in 2019) on the Handheld segment, and 44.3% on the "Console" segment. So you can see how things are going to start looking from here on when the Lite gets lumped in the same group as well.

But you know what? like I said at the beginning, this is a lost cause so I´m just gonna drop it here.
