Why do you think Nintendo has survived so long as a platform holder?

I don't follow why you brought up the N64. It's obviously meant to be a home console, how does that stop Switch from being a home console and portable console? The joycons are also motion controllers hence why they come with straps similar to you know... Wii, a home console.  

A strap ain't an indicator for a home console. The huge majority of home consoles didn't have straps.

I counter the Wii with the PSP, PSP Go and PSVita:

You realize I am referring to the joycon straps? The joycon straps dont connect to the console at all in any form similar to the images above. They literally can only be used when the joycons are detached from the console. Almost like they were meant to be used in motion control games. They are motion controllers which is what Wii helped popularize, a home console. PS move, a motion controller also had straps attached to the controller which was advertised as an PS3 controller. Not sure why people bend over backwards to act like motion controllers aren't aligned with home consoles. It's barely an experience playing Nintendo Switch Sports on a 6 inch screen 5ft away. It is clearly a home console game.
