Then why is it that you can only access docked power when the console is...docked.

It is a weaker home console, but a powerful handheld.  The benefit to using it as both is being able to take your console games with you without double dipping or starting a new save, and vice versa.  Power has nothing to do with it, and even so games like DOOM, Warframe, Wolfenstein 2, Valkeria Chronicles 4, Ys VIII, Crash N Sane, Dragonball Xenoverse 2, Dragonball FighterZ, NBA2k, Diablo 3, Starkink, etc have shown that the console can handle many current gen multiplat games.

It is a weaker console, with the benefit that it is also a powerful handheld.

Man even for one week, people really cant stand Nintendo being on top. Is the hate really at that level?

My bad.

I meant that games for PS4, at this point, are mostly discounted, while on Nintendo we know that they'll probably never be reasonable discounted, since everything is more expensive on Nintendo overall. It's much cheaper to build a collection on PS4/X1 than on Nintendo.

The consumer target is not the same. Never has been. Nintendo has never target the same consumers since Wii.

Wait what?????????

Hate's a strong word and you know it, Mr Moderator :)

PS4 is a five year old bag, with no significant releases on December, competing with a Smash machine.

Hate is the right word imo. Overall dislike of something is easily identifiable,as it can be also justifiable, but it seems some people genuinely have a hatred for Switch in this thread. I don't get it. 

I don't think this has anything to do with nintendo being on top. I think everyone knew that was going to happen. 

This is about the "hybrid" nature f the NS. Handheld vs home console. Its an argument that has been gin on fr as lon as the NS existed and is represented differently by different publications. So its logical that there will be some division even here as t what exactly it is.

This all started with someone pointing out that nintendo has done really well and made a come back and how people said nintendo was dead as far as home consoles go. And then he was told (while not taking anything away from nintendo) that nintendo "is" dead as far as dedicated home consoles go which is why what they have made is a hybrid. 

And now.... apparently not classifying nintendo as a home console somehow means whoever is doing or saying that has some sort of evil agenda or even "hates" nintendo as you put it.

I fail to see what abut what anyone has said here so far points to a "genuine" hatred of the switch.

All the switch debate has been purely about handheld vs home console. Not sales or its performance.

Right. Nintendo isn't dead in the handheld nor console department. That much is a fact ,as you know we have the Switch. So that argument really doesnt make any sense.  Nintendo has done well to come back after what we got with the Wii U and after the sluggish start with the 3DS, so they were correct.  Person that said it was dead as far as home consoles go is just completely wrong as Nintendo has Switch. Switch is a hybrid, the best of what both a home console and handheld can provide a user. It is both a home console and it is also a handheld, that's factual. People tend to pick one or the other to steer an argument in their specific direction for the sake of trying to be right. When the answer is straight forward. There's no hidden mystery.

Honestly I feel the hatred for the Hybrid idea stems from people actually being mad that Nintendo was the one to perfect it first,as far as the big 3 go, and not Microsoft/Sony. That's the vibe I get.  Am I wrong about that? maybe, but it's the opinion i gotta stick with for the time being after seeing responses lately.
