Even though I also believe the Switch shouldn't be classified as a console but as a handheld instead, the fact is, is that we are on VGChartz and the Switch is listed alongside the PS5 and XBSS/X as consoles. So when we talk about "traditional consoles" here on VGChartz we have to include the switch.  

That has zero bearing on what a traditional console is. The Vita was irrelevant by 2017 and the 3DS in its Twilight years so if you had to pick one then listing the Switch alongside the more relevant PS4 and Xbox One made more sense.

Vita and 3ds were in the "handheld" category on this website so I really don't know why your bringing those up. The Switch is not in the "handheld" category because it's both a handheld and a "console". It can function as a "traditional console" when in the dock so it is classified as one on this website.  It's funny because I've never seen you arguing with the Nintendo fans before claiming that it's not a console, only now I've seen it.
