I still lean fully towards game consoles since I have no need for a portable device.

I've got a gaming PC, so that covers the Power part.

However, the portability of the Switch would have meant nothing if it wouldn't also come with great games to play - which for me is way more important that the question of power or portability.

I'm not fussed over Power or Possibility. It's about the games. Without games, a console will fail.

I think portability is a little bit more important than power. But really the game library is the most important thing. Already I think the Switch has the best game library on the market.

It really depends on the game. Playing something like Puyo Puyo Tetris on a powerful stationary system is blasphemy over a portable system. I mean do you really need 1400P to play Tetris? I don't think so. Playing Tetris everywhere is a much better option. Some games need the extra power like some cinematic games and best played on a tv. Basically, if a game depends on power than it is best played on a system that uses it. Some games make short play sessions impossible and make portable games unplayable.

So yeah, depends on the game. I think AAA cinematic games are best saved a power system. Everything else portable is better.

The Switch has been my primary console this year. I'm actually choosing to buy certain games on Switch over PS4. And it's not necessarily portability either. I just really like the Switch.

Games are overall more important than either speed or power. Switch gets most of the Japanese games I want (with some unfortunate exceptions), but one of the games I've been playing the most this year is the Arcade Archives version of Donkey Kong.

Most power possible in a 400-600 USD Playstation that is released about every 5-6 years is my choice.

I drive to work, and at work I work... play time outside of home is used on my cellphone for FF Exvius, Idle Poring and Pokemon Go.

So when I play I'm at home, so for me portability is a 0 value added, so home console all the way (no PC because in Brazil they are a lot more expensive and won't run PS exclusives on release date).

He could say he favor having both in the same package though.

My gaming habits have changed considerably, multiple times, throughout my life. My dad was a gamer from the very beginning, so I've used every major system since Atari 2600, and I've owned all but a couple of them. At some points, most of my time was spent on handheld devices. That's happened maybe 4 to 5 times, for a year or two. The rest of the time I've been console-first.

Right now, I'm in a console-first period. I have been for a while, actually. My last handheld focused period ended around the time I got my WiiU. Prior to that, I was mostly playing on 3DS. Prior to 3DS, I was gaming mostly on Wii and 360. Prior to that, it was DS, which came after my GBA period. Right now, it is is PS4 Pro and Xbone mostly. I own a Switch, and I play it when I'm traveling, or when a can't-miss game launches (Odyssey was the last game I put much time into on Switch). But, since I have a gaming setup in my basement, and I'm home most of the time, I am very much console focused right now. So, given the choice to buy a game on Switch or PSbone, I'll almost certainly choose PSbone (unless a vacation is coming soon, or something like that). I just don't see a reason to sacrifice performance for portability at this point.

I have a baby on the way now. I'm thinking this may bring about a change in my gaming habits once again. Maybe I'll want to play on Switch in handheld mode, so the baby can sleep in the same room as me without the light of TV blasting in his/her face. Or, maybe my basement gaming room (with the consoles) will become an even more important oasis, where I run to when I need a break from the kid.

Anyway, the tl;dr version is that I favor whichever factors work for me at a given point in my life. Today that means more power. Maybe next year it will mean more portability.
