woof!!!
you must be real fun at parties.
A:source of authority... YOU do not get to determine what is or is not a mobile or home console, YOU have no qualifying aspects to make such claims. You are of course entitled to your opinions, but stating them as inarguable fact is without any force. Meanwhile nintendo themselves, an actual authority in the subject, and the longest running major producer of same such objects IS an authority. and they have proclaimed the device as being both.
B: your definition of it being a mobile only handset is threadbare and thin at best. Sometime ago some adventerous idiots "converted" their xbox's and playstations into "mobile" consoles by adding massive batteries and screens to them ala a laptop.... does that make them mobile then? likewise when alienware started stuffing full on "desktop" CPU's and bleeding edge GPU's into truly MASSIVE laptops which would smoke your poor desktop... are they somehow still just "mobile" machines? Does the wii U count as a mobile since i almost never used its TV hook up?
The real determination of what these objects are is in their intended use (which they are clearly marketed as and for)... the switch is BOTH.... many people use it as a home console where it never leaves the cradle (i did that for years)... and many others use it almost entirely mobile. I have laptops that have never left my office desk connected to screens my desktops could never even support the resolution on... while clearly a "laptop" they are effectively a desktop.
stop being overly pedantic and actually examine the common and intended usage of an item before assigning it a (arbitrary) label.
