100% docked, Switch is essentially a home console to me.

For me, gaming is an experience best enjoyed on the big screen.



100% Table Top Mode

Cccccccccombo Breaker!

I play almost always in portable mode, in fact I kinda regret not buying the Lite version to be honest. Visually most games are unimpressive so its more comfortable to play it in portable mode while in bed. 



Probably 50/50 for me. I enjoy TV more, but when I'm wanting to game while watching something with my wife, or if our baby is winding down and we don't want a big screen on to mess up her blue light cycle, or if I'm on vacation like right now, or heck even if I just want a chiller game session on the couch without a big dramatic presentation on the TV, I go portable.

It's a stunningly useful feature of the system.

99% docked. I tried playing on the 6.2" screen with crappy sound, it doesn't compare. I played BotW on a projector, 92" screen, 5.1 surround. Mario Odyssey upscaled by my 4K tv in brilliant colors. Looks so much better than on the pad.

I'll snap a Switch home console version up in a second if it comes with a pro controller. No need for the screen.



90% portable mode... I mostly play it that way as it is more convenient for me. I play local multiplayer titles docked, though this year that was pretty rare, considering that I barely had people come over to my place due to the epidemic.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I probably use it 2/3 portable and 1/3 docked.  I dock to play multiplayer games or use my arcade stick.  I play portable the rest of the time.  It's just a lot more convenient.



I barely use TV mode anymore.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Roughly 75% TV mode and 25% portable. My joycons are starting to drift a bit but it is nothing too bad yet
