Like I said, agree to disagree.  Nintendo made the switch to seamlessly function like a GBA and a GameCube all in one box.  The switch works flawlessly for home gamers and mobile games.  Hence the name "switch."  Nintendo even combined their home and portable division into one group.  The switch is both.  Being both is literally the entire point of the console.  

You can agree to disagree that the Earth isn't flat. Doesn't mean it actually is flat, it's simply not a process to truth, fact or sound logic.

The Switch is nothing like a Gamecube, it doesn't even use optical disks. - It does have more in common with a Gameboy which was a purely mobile device that had a built in display, used batteries, built-in sound, used carts.

The Switch also is not a "flawless" home console, it's processing hardware (CPU, GPU, Ram etc') is all based on mobile technology (ARM+Mobile Maxwell+LPDDR) and comes with various compromises in order to optimize for battery life over performance. - Like an emphasis on FP16 over FP32 for GPU compute, which although less precise, does come with tangible power savings.

The Switch is not both, it's a mobile device that docks, just like other mobile devices that have released over the last few decades, the Switch isn't unique, the Switch isn't even the first with this ability.

A Windows Phone using Microsoft Continuum is still a mobile phone, despite the fact it has a dock and output it's display to an external display.

Either way, I have literally ripped apart your prior examples and you still cannot concede you are wrong, which to me says you have a confirmation bias.



The Switch is a mobile device, this is a blatant fact. And there is 100% absolutely nothing wrong with that... As it actually makes a very shit home console, but an amazing portable one.
