The Switch is a portable console first that has the option to output to a display.
For all intents and purposes, it's a handheld with a base-station that converts it to a fixed device.

Just because the Switch uses mobile hardware does not mean it's a portable console first. Their whole approach was "How can we make something that is not a successor to the Wii U or the 3DS". Their answer was the Switch. The entire concept of it was always about it being both, which was not the concept of any other home console or portable console before it.
