Since I'm of a similar mindset, I'm wondering why you think Switch isn't a console? 

I've glanced back at some of your posts to find your definition, but rather than saying why something isn't console, you seem to be explaining why something is a handheld.

But what makes PS4 a console? And is Switch lacking that?

Ok. The PS4 has a high power draw and a design that shows it clearly is meant to sit stationary and be powered off of the wall. The switch has a low power draw and that means it's primary function is that of a handheld. 

Would you consider the WiiU to not be a home console 34W - 75W draw? 

The Switch dock also adds USB to the mix.  I use one for an ethernet dongle and the other is sometimes used for a wired controller.  I only mention this since I have not seen it brought up.

Didn't Nintendo also patent added processing power to a dock or am I remembering incorrectly?
