The PSP could connect to a TV, does that make it a home console?

Neither of them count, that's my point.  Having something on a dock isn't a function. Even if you just leave the switch in the dock with no power and not being used, the switch is technically docked. A dock is just something that something else sits in. The dock itself doesn't function, without the Switch it can't do anything. It's like connecting your phone/ laptop to a TV and then giving 50% of credit to the cable.  

It does add USB ports so you can use multiple wired controllers, it also adds HDMI port that the system itself doesn't have. 

I don't think the dock is supposed to do anything without the Switch, what's at the heart of the matter, is what more you can do with the Switch when it's docked. 

Well according Leynos here the Nomad had an port for a controller too. That port could probably only be used for 2 player on the TV. Does it really matter if the ports are on the dock or on the handheld itself?

Here is what separates NOMAD from a PSP: You can use it for two players. NOMAD also has the cables bundled inside to play on TV. PSP did not have either.

All this does is help prove my point though. The Nomad is an even better version of the PSP argument I'm putting forward. The Nomad has special features built into it that allows it to function not just as a handheld, but because of that extra controller port, even better as a console. Is that your Nomad btw?
