The "consoles are dead" years were hilarious in retrospect

I would argue the WiiU was a true hybrid as it was a fixed home console, that allowed you to play away from the TV with a mobile display, albeit with limited range.

The Switch is designed as a mobile device first and foremost, it's actually a fantastic mobile device, the fixed-console aspect however is comparatively poor and more of a feature added "just because they can".

Absolutely not.  The gamepad can barely even leave the room with the console.  I can't get it to work in my bedroom directly above the living room.  We are only talking about 12-15 feet plus a floor in a wood construction house.

 Milage may vary as mine worked all the way across the apartment through a wall,furniture.
