The Switch is a home console. The only model of the switch that's a portable is the Switch Lite.

Many people own the Switch as their primary console for gaming.

The consoles compete for retail space and play time, they are very much competitors, they just play the game differently.

In the near future, you might not like it, but the concept of a home console won't even exist.

You see, when you start what you are saying like that, then everything else is wrong.

The Switch IS NOT a HOME CONSOLE

It can be used as a home console. And that right there is all the difference.

It doesn't matter if many people use it as their primary or only console. That's not our business and is subjective.

Speaking strictly factually and technically, what makes something a home console, and what makes it a portable/handheld?

I could answer this, but I am truly curious to see what you would say. Cause your answer could give me some insight as to why this concept seems to be so confusing.

Oh, and have you ever come across the concept of Direct and Indirect Competition? You probably should look it up if you haven't. But if you have, then I am really really curious to read what you have to say.

On another note, I guess by saying eventually we won't even have game home consoles anymore you are referring to game streaming right? I'm not gonna get into that, but I will say this. everything game streaming needs to have to "work" as well as it can has been there since 2011. Think about that.
