idk, I just don’t see how this

Is somehow more of a transformation than this

You keep bringing up that none of those things are new but I never once claimed that any of these technologies in Switch are new, I think Switch is like DS & Wii in the sense that DS wasn’t the first gaming device with a touch screen and Wii wasn’t the first gaming device with motion controls but the execution and emphasis on them made them stick out and seem like fresh, new products. Switch isn’t the first hybrid device by a long shot but the way that it’s executed in such a seamless way and it’s one of the main driving forces of the devices appeal is the difference between it and other devices that have the ability to connect to a TV, where it’s essentially an afterthought or one of hundreds of rarely used features.



Even if Switch is a “shit”fixed device (I don’t think it is but this is getting into personal preference) because of controller size or low specs, doesn’t change the fact that it can be used 100% of the time as a fixed device. I can put my Switch in its dock, connected to a power source and connected to the TV with my joy-cons plugged into the joy-con grip and literally never have to switch it back to portable mode or have to buy anything extra to make it work as a console.


You haven't answered my question though.

Because the device is the same, you are just pulling it out of a dock. It physically doesn't change.

However, I digress. My point is that the Switch is not a Hybrid, but my argument also was... That other devices like phones, tablets and laptops are also not a Hybrid, the 2 in 1 laptops are a Laptop with extra "features". - But they are arguably "more" of a Hybrid than the Switch as they can physically alter their usage.
The fact they go from a Tablet to a Laptop doesn't really change the fact it is primarily a mobile device.

And yes... As a fixed Home Console the Switch is a poor device.
It lacks performance and features of fixed home consoles, that's not personal opinion, that's objective fact.
