I've own something like that before. Think it was called the Game Gear.

I mean this is kinda expected. If they are ditching the dedicated Home Console and separate handheld setup like they are with Switch (obvious as Pokemon is on Switch, not a dedicated handheld as it usually is). Having a single Switch unit which is only handheld makes sense. Good luck to it, we need the inudstry to grow and move away from microtransaction filled 'AAA' games and at least the console makers are going in the right direction.

Where did I say "it can be used as a handheld"?

It is a handheld. Full stop. It's the accessories that it often ships with that allows you to dock your handheld console to a TV and use a controller with it. If you want to count that as making it "a hybrid console", by all means do so, accept the marketing. I'm not exactly stopping you.

Yeah if it can´t be docked to your TV the name 'Switch' loses its meaning.

People need to learn the difference between a brand name and a functional description.

Not all "PlayStations" are stationary (PlayStation Portable, PlayStation Vita). MicroSoft ain't micro anymore, it is pretty big. Apple has nothing to do with the fruits on a tree.

BOOM! I love it!

I'm not concerned about it not being able to be docked. And this is coming from someone who almost never uses his Switch in handheld mode. But there is definitely a market for the Switch Lite, and at $200 it still offers plenty of value. As long as they keep making the regular Switch (which they 100% will), then this introduction is only good.

Although, serious question here, will the ugly colors hurt sales?

I don't see what's so hard to understand. Just because a handheld can be connected to a TV and use a separate controller doesn't make it a home console. If it does, than there's several handhelds that can be considered "home consoles", starting with the Sega Nomad. If you want to use a term that broad to define "hybrid console" then all the power to you. Like I said, it's a marketing term. It's literally a matter of opinion.

If Nintendo makes a "switch" that can only be connected to a TV and doesn't have an independant power supply, Nintendo will have released a weak home console that plays Switch games. That doesn't make that console a hybrid. And if it did, that would mean that the PS4 has to be considered a hybrid since Sony bundled the PS4 and the PS Vita together in Europe and therefore "out of the box" you were able to play any PS4 game as long as you had a strong enough wireless (possibly 3g? not sure) connection, does that mean the 

Let me turn it around. Let's say Sony makes a portable PS4, and has a separate dock accessory that allows to connect the portable to a TV, and sync multiple PS4 controllers to it, is that "a hybrid console" in your mind? Why or why not? If not, if Sony then creates a bundle that includes the dock accessory in one box, does that make it a hybrid?

How about Just Dance, for starters?

Or Super Mario Party?

Will VGC count the Lite sales together with the regular one? Or at least this one will be counted as handheld console?

Nice.
I... Actually fully expect a switch pro Launching next march, 1080p screen, maybe 1440p output at 350, with a revised dock that allows switch light docking.
