It's hard to say w/o a fixed definition for "home console". My gut tells me the label "home console" should be used in reference to any system which was intentionally designed and initially marketed in such a way as to allowing for TV play, and goes beyond simply having to ability to be played on a TV screen.
That being said, do I *feel* that Nintendo Switch Lite is worthy of this arbitrary "home console" label? No. And, to clarify for Hardstuck Platinum, that's not to say NSW is not a home console, but rather NSWL is a handheld version of a home console. If PlayStation were to release a PS5 Portable, for instance, then it wouldn't make sense to cease referring to PS5 as a home console. All that means is there exists a handheld variant of a home console.
But again....we're talking about labels without any fixed definitions, which require "gut feeling" to reach a conslusion. It's an entirely subjective argument until a fixed definition exists.
