Doing something new doesn't mean you only use new things existing technology has many uses an example was with the DS where touch screens were around for ages but no one really found a use for them until the DS showed the potential of the tech this is what caused Apple to bring out the iPod touch and iPhone so that's a false notion that they don't do anything new they've been doing new things for ages raising the bar and finding practical executions is doing something new as it opens up the potential for more it's like in sports you still pass the ball and such to score it doesn't stop utilizing a new kind of formation from being new. Do you have examples of pre-switch hybrid consoles?

All of that is doing something new. One doesn't need to create the technology to do something new.

lol, making something more widely used doesn't make that technology new. Guys come on. When I talk about something being new I'm talking about it at its base level as something that's really totally new. New in every sense of the word as in "not existing before". Touch screens existed before DS, Motion Controls existed before Wii, Hybrids existed before Switch. I mean, this can't be too hard of a concept to grasp. The "new" you guys are referring to is making it practical like I've sad numerous times before. 

If you have to ask me to give examples of past hybrid consoles then, no harm done...probably shouldn't be in this conversation. 

Except objectively they are doing something new regardless of how you choose to see it as the was no Wiimote before they did it, the was no hybrid form factor before they did it, the was no device like the DS before they did etc... You know what that means? They were new using anything in a new way is doing something new you're not arguing about doing something new your logic is now based on inventing something new which is a different concept entirely to innovation which is doing something new.

I asked to give an example of a device like the Switch to support your claim as so far I've found nothing of the sort if you can't give any examples then I have to take this claim as being false.
