The big error in Pemalite's opinion is that he doesn't seem to grasp that Nintendo is an integrated hardware/software company, so logically you can't separate the consoles from the games.

Switch not using optical discs is the weirdest argument ever to disqualify it from comparisons to home consoles, especially because optical discs are shit.

yea that argument was particularly dumb.  lmao.. oh nooossss ... nintendo used a cartridge in their switch!!  which is what they started off with to begin with... NES, SNES, N64, atari, sega... like cartridges are/were exclusive to mobiles? and even better... like opticals are exclusive to home consoles??? hello playstation portable!!

the guts and makings of any of these devices dont determine its use... its the form factor and end user engagement that do. nintendo (very wisely - and somewhat inevitably) successfully combined the two use cases on their second attempt... the switch is just the Wii U with more of the smarts shifted into the display component.

this is the same sort of nonsense argument that people would make to try and meaningfully distinguish a windows 2 in 1 from a laptop or a tablet.... its clearly both. chill the fuck out ya dweebs.
