Sega nomad was Nintendo Switch in the 90's

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.  

If that is what you have taken away from my posts: that "I don't like the Nintendo's design choices" then you certainly have not been paying attention.
I own a Switch. I praise the Switch, it's a great platform, but I also am not obligated to justify any of that to anyone.

So again, go back and re-read my posts in their original context and then we might be able to further this discussion appropriately.

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?  

No. Out out of the box it functions as a portable console, it just has the ability to output it's display to a television, that's not some magical Nintendo-only "hybrid" feature, that's actually a standard feature in mobile electronics for years now, hell. Even before the Switch came along.

Nintendo combining their home and mobile divisions to streamline business and game development does not actually have any technical bearing on the form factor of it's device.

I.E. If Nintendo was to hypothetically discontinue the DS back in the 7th gen and rolled those development teams over to the Wii, the Wii doesn't magically become a handheld or a hybrid.

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

Those are your words, not mine, I suggest you stop trying to force a narrative that is simply false in order to justify whatever conspiracy this is.
