It's not about being a purist, it is clearly not a home console. The power level is mobile. There's a reason the mobile only Switch lite exists. Being able to be plugged into a TV doesn't make it a home console. The Vita wasn't a home console either just because you could plug it in.

Why does it's power output change when plugged to the dock? Why does power even matter? Why are most games on the console home console like games instead of handheld like games? Why does the regular switch sell more than the lite?

And your comment about DS and 3DS, it's destroying 3ds in sales right now and will cross DS sales in December. Of course it will most probably never sell 150mil consoles but that's the roof of gaming hardware right now. Just like PS4 won't sell more than PS2.

Switch is a much more home console experience in the go than a handheld experience at home because of the only thing that matters: the games. The major games other than pokemon are all home console experiences from smash to Mario maker to Splatoon 2 to breath of the wild. The switch lite is just an extension of bases Nintendo is covering just like the most probable more powerful switch next year or so. The power means nothing though.



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
