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

The Switch is about to become the #1 selling console ever so he's already starting to make excuses to say it doesn't count... because... it's a handheld.

It's a pointless semantics debate.

But this makes no sense. Because a hybrid has a much larger potential playerbase to appeal to than handhelds or home consoles, since it literally taps into both.

PS2 is from a different era and is no hybrid. Downplaying the Switch as "purely handheld" only makes the numbers more impressive, especially following a generation when Vita sold a fraction of what PSP did, and the 3DS sold half what the DS did.

If someone wants to downplay Switch sales, agreeing that it's a hybrid helps their argument a lot more than saying it's a handheld.

Could legitimately argue PS2 is a home console / dvd player hybrid. I don't see the point of that entire discussion to be honest..
