No, it's exactly what you are doing in this thread telling other people how to refer to PSP, PS2, and Switch and dictating definitions. Your initial posts was fully dictated by you, when you said people refer to Switch as a home console? You dont get to tell others what we refer to Switch as. That's what I meant and you give the mods too much credit in dictating conversations. Those are not their intentions, you are free to make threads as long as they aren't offensive in some way. You aren't offending Switch and now that I dispelled your logic, you have moved to telling me my feelings? 

Edit: Also your multiple replies to others are the definition of strawman agruments.

Isn't everyone's initial posts dictated by themselves? Who else would be dictating their post? If your being defensive to the extent of saying ridiculous things like that, how is it possible to respond?

Dude again the purposely obtuse mess isn't going to work. You are free to express your opinions but you aren't expressing your opinions if you are telling us we consider Switch a home console. You are free to say it is a handheld but not free to tell me I consider it a home console or console and then debate it. That's a strawman, you could have just kept it about the question initially posted. It initially looked genuie until you strawmanned everything just to protect PS2. You even went into another thread and did it. You even called out another poster for refusing to engage with you. People aren't blind, we see what you are doing.

Also why aren't you debating what I said? Do you agree? They are all gaming systems and Switch is aiming for PS2's current title of highest selling gaming system but you tried to strawman people into the agrument of it (Switch) considered a home console and shouldn't be compared to PS2.

I have been an active posting member of this site for almost a year.  Trolling or using psychological warefare tactics to bait people is against the terms and conditions of vgchartz, so if I was doing all of that I would have been banned already. It's like accusing someone of being a violent criminal when they have a clean criminal record. If you feel/ others feel I am playing psychological warfare tactics with people like you are suggesting, then I don't mind if you, along with the others all report me to the mods, because that is against the terms and conditions of this website

"highest selling gaming system" yeah well if it sells more than PS2, that is undisputable isn't it? There is no strawman, it's just handheld sales and home console sales aren't usually compared. Whatever the 2nd best selling home console of all time is, is considered 2nd best even though the DS sold more than it. Different categories. 

You are correct and maybe you should consider thats not what your post were actually doing (the rule) and consider the mods just view your post as disengious and completely strawmanned and maybe that's not the same as the rule. Also maybe you weren't reported?

Regardless, yes that is your opinion and you can express that and we simply disagree. I don't see anything wrong with comparing them because they both push into each other boundaries such has playing handhelds like home consoles on my TV with a separate controller and playing home consoles on the beach (Sony's ad) via remote play on PS Portal like a handheld. I think the lines are getting too blurred. My Switch is used the same as Wii. Nice chat and if you genuinely didn't mean to come off the way you did my apologies for my post making you feel potentially attacked. Your post have come off that way and I assure you other posters agree.

Edit: I want to add that this is another example of you trying to bully everyone into fitting your definitions. You do not get to determine this (what is or isnt comparable) or anyone else besides Sony, Nintendo, and Xbox because they define this market. You might ask why them? Its because they are the ones that release these products, without them, the market doesn't exist, and that means no console market. Retailers play a role as well due to them being the ones that bring the products to consumers. All the retailers have them in the same location, take a wild guess at why that is? This is why I used Sony's words to show you. Sony grouped them all (their consoles and handhelds) as gaming systems.

He's right, the PSP is a home console because the second iteration of it is able to be connected to the TV via an optional peripheral that's not included in the box.

It's just like the Switch except for the lack of local multi-player games, ease of use, everything needed for it to be used as a home console included in the box, and higher resolution for games when docked. Those things don't matter for a home console. All you need is the option to have it displayed on the TV through some means.

There are no more handheld systems.

What if the image they put on an old screen looks like a turd too? Whether you use a modern TV or a CRT PSP will only fill 1/3rd the screen. Certain TVs from 20 years ago had a "fill screen" mode and other input lag causing annoyances too.

PSP doesn't qualify as a hybrid because...

1. You needed to buy extra parts such as component cables and scalers to get it to play correctly on a TV. Switch has everything in the box ready to go.
2. It didn't have a separate control method outside of the portable mode. A.K.A. it didn't have a Pro controller or other non-handheld controller.
3. It could only play a small selection of games that were ported from PS2.
4. The 1K model didn't have the port to make use of external cables for TV play. That's the launch model.
5. You couldn't do 2 or more players on PSP without having a second unit.

Overall if you want to call the PSP a proto-hybrid, like the Wii U, or the Genesis Nomad I'll agree with that. Let's just agree that Switch finally got the hybrid concept right and did everything that hybrid systems needed to do. It was a revolutionary design.

Look at those pictures in this post I quoted. Does the PSP image on the TV look like turd? Looks fine to me. There is even a Dualshock 3 you can connect to it too.  It is not fair on all those devices to just call them "proto- hybrids' and the switch a full hybrid. This is not about me taking things away from switches success it's about not discarding that others have done the same. How is that fair?

1- Do we say the N64 didn't have rumble just because the attachable accessory to the controller didn't come included in the box? No we don't. You can't just disregard a consoles features because things didn't come in the box. 

2 - Yes it did. DS3 could be connected to a PSP go that was TV connected. 

3- What's the library got to do with a platforms features?

4- Switch lite is a strict handheld only and has no docking capability but people still call it a switch and include it's sales with the switch. If switch was true hybrid the sales would be separated. 

5- You can connect multiple controllers/phones connected to an android phone, have it connected it to the TV and play multiplayer on it, doesn't make it a hybrid. 

Why doesn't it matter what it is sold as? I mean, the Genesis was sold as a home console. The same exact hardware was also used in the Sega Nomad and sold as a portable console (which also could hook up to a TV). 

The feature isn't discounted. What is discounted is the delegation of "home console" to the PSP. Because, while it was a feature, it was one that required a separate accessory (two if you count the controller) and was only compatible for select models. 

You could argue that the Switch Lite is only a portable and you'd be correct. But the Switch itself is both. 

It doesn't matter what something is sold as because people can see what something is and how it functions. The ROG ally is a much better docked gaming experience than Switch, but it wasn't even sold as a docked experience. It was sold as a portable one, because that is how it primarily functions. Switch is the same but Nintendo just chose to market it as a hybrid console instead. How something is sold as is just marketing, how something functions is tangible. 

Nomad - genesis chipset + screen + battery = Handheld.

Genesis = just chipset. Requires power and TV = Home console
