The point you are (intentionally) missing is nintendo has never put a LAN port on any of their home consoles, as in never. So using LAN port inclusion to determine if Nintendo hardware is a home console is really,  really, really silly. 

And the 10 to 15 year old argument is (at best) strawman.  If you think LAN ports didn't exist 10 to 15 years ago and some how represent modern technology, take a seat because I have something to tell you.  

You need to go back and re-read my post in it's intended context, within it's entirety.

I said "Modern Console". Turning it into whatever argument you are trying to put forth currently is just twisting the narrative to suit your own agenda.

I'm not the one with the agenda and I have read your posts.  Your posts can be boiled down to you not liking the design choices that Nintendo made, thus it cannot be a hybrid because reasons.  The reality is life doesn't work that way.  You can not like the Switch all day long, but that doesn't change the function of the Switch.  

Out of the box it functions as both a home and portable console.  For God's sake the name of the console is literally "Switch" meaning it can do both home and portable.  Their entire marketing campaign is designed around this dual functionality.  And let us not forget prior to the launch of the Switch, Nintendo (as a business decision) literally combined their home and mobile divisions under one reporting structure...  but the Switch isn't a hybrid because it isn't what you would have done...  really?  

Look you have made it clear, it isn't the hybrid you wanted, but that doesn't mean it isn't a hybrid.
