Yet in spite of all that, I think the Switch is seen as less of a joke to "core gamers" compared to the Wii purely because it's also a handheld. That makes it less easy to compare to and scoff at since Nintendo was always better at being a portable platform holder vs. a console one. 

It's because Switch follows the standard control schema. No more mandatory motion controls nonsense like Wii did. If you plug a Switch on your TV is just your standard console, with slightly better PS3 graphics but a console still.
