I see a lot of people claiming the NSW is a home console because it connects to a TV via a passthrough box. Well, the PSP could also connect/be played on a TV via a cable. If you consider the NSW a home console because it connects to a TV via passthrough, then you must be consistent and consider the PSP a home console too. What do you think about this, and people being inconsistent with their views towards PSP and NSW both being "home consoles", even when they had the same feature. 

I'd argue that the Switch is both because it is sold as both in the box. Aside from the games that's its biggest selling point.

I know, but it doesn't matter what it's "sold as". Just because Sony didn't show the feature as a selling point to the consumers, doesn't mean it can be discounted as having the same feature as the switch

How about the fact that the Switch can be played on the TV out of the box with no add ons needed?

You can connect a lot of phones to TVs too, but they are seen as mobile devices. What matters is not so much what is theoretically possible, but more how people actually use it. The PSP was mostly used mobile, so it is a handheld. The Switch is actually used by many connected to the TV, while others use it mobile. Which makes it a hybrid. Some japanese played the WiiU on the train, but it was used by most in the household, so it is not a mobile device. What matters is not so much what could be theoretically done, but more what it is actually used for.

The first PSP model couldnt play games on a TV. Its a handheld that they with later models made able to connect to a TV. The Switch was made with that in mind.

So, I'll buy a portable monitor, I'll carry a Power Bank with 60000 mAh+ and I'll carry my PS5, X Series anywhere too in a backpack, so that will make my PS5/X Series a Hybrid too, right?

Just because something is technically portable, doesn't make it a portable device. I see what your trying to do though

It depends on its sales.

If the PSP was currently close to 150m, was still being produced and had a very real chance of passing 160m, it would be a handheld, a console, a hybrid and a toaster.
