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. 

Because that was the other category to place it in and as I said the console category made more sense since the handheld one was becoming irrelevant, people were naturally way more interested in seeing how it would perform compared to the PS4 and Xbox One than the Vita and 3DS. How it's classified here has zero bearing on it being a traditional console or not. It's objectively not a traditional one since a hybrid sort of device clearly isn't that. And I actually have argued this sort of point before with at least one Nintendo fan. 

Also do you really not see how the bolded could apply both ways and thus means nothing? "The Switch is not in the console category because it's both a console and a handheld. It can function as a handheld when not in the dock so it is classified as one on this website." would be just as silly and meaningless of a statement if it was in the handheld category.

Actually, I've realised I don't even need to talk about the Switch. I think that by the time GTA 6 launches Xbox will be so dead and gone that PS5 will get practically all the sales boost from GTA6 launch. It will then become clear that the traditional console sales model is not dead and doing just fine. 

Replying to what's in bold - yes I know that's why I put "console" and "traditional console" in quotation marks. I don't consider it a console at all and only a handheld that can be played on a TV
