[edit: deleting this comment b/c it's a waste to contribute to this debate. HP is emotionally invested, as is reflect from the precursor to this entire thread, which was an argument seen in the "PS2 hits 160mil" article comment section. He's terrified that Sony may no longer have the best selling video game console of all time...but notice, nobody cares if we choose the label of "Best Selling Home Console" or "Best Selling Console". It's a worthless label.]

Since you can play PS5 games on a PS portal that means it's a handheld

I disagree with you when you say Sony didn't intend for it to be used that way. They especially introduced the feature to the newer PSP's for a reason. Why would they invest money into a feature when they weren't even intending for it to be used? Just because it wasn't successful, doesn't change the facts that it as the same feature as the Switch

You are right! The Switch is a handheld 100%. A bike does not become a motorbike by adding an engine to it.

If you somehow find a breakdown of how many units were sold featuring connection to TV then I'm ok calling that amount of copies as hybrids, as long all connection devices were sold packaged with the main PSP console

The only reason the Switch is priced as high as it is, is because it's success allows them to keep the price high. Not got anything to do with Home console/handheld status

So, your thread is about Switch, not about PSP.

Well, whatever. If you feel emasculated because Switch is beating PS4 and probably PS5, then I have the solution: Playstation is the winner among consoles which names start with a P! You can define your categories howev er you want and if you scared by Switch then ignore it.

And if you want to play PSP on TV then do so, I will not stop you. You can also call it a home console. It is fine. Nobody besides you is that hung up on labels. We might that label differently, but you do you.

I go play games instead of playing more with you now. Buh-bye.

I'm thinking here, We need to create a new name to list some consoles, just like ps vita can share the image from ps3, ps4, ps portal share ps5, Phones some Xbox games and Wii U gamepad the Wii U games... any idea guys?

PS: If we create this new list Ps Vita will be the number #1 with 220,04M Consoles Solded (Ps Vita + PS3 + PS4). 

This seems oddly familiar....like 7 years oddly familiar,

On topic, is laptop a hybrid? It can connect to external monitor/TV, it can connect to external power source and its CPU/GPU run at higher clock rates when used as such.

Pretty telling that this is what you took away from it, eh?

What I am saying is that the way you are framing this is intellectually dishonest, despite you "not trying to take away from its success"

Just like you have overzealous Nintendo fans that will ignore nuance and cases such as the Switch lite when talking about it, you are doing a very bad job of masking your "PS2 sales shouldn't be compared to the Switch" discourse which is very obviously what's sparking this.
