@TheMelodiusRose The device has ALWAYS been marketed as a hybrid, which is why people play it on and off the TV in adverts. That's why it's called the "Switch." It seamlessly 'switches' between docked and portable play.
It does mean the Switch isn't a home console, actually. Because home consoles are dependent on external power to function and rely on external display devices to be used normally. We've already had a home console with limited handheld functionality: it was called the Wii U. The difference is that the Wii U's off-tv play was still dependent on an external power source, and streamed data from the actual console to the GamePad. The Switch isn't designed like a home console, because it's not. It's a portable gaming device that can optionally be played like a home console, if the user chooses to do so.
Look at it this way: you can remove the bits required for docked mode without issue. All of the games will run. Many run better when undocked, actually. But you can't remove the bits that allow it to function as a portable gaming device. Because the portable gaming device bits COMPOSE THE DEVICE ITSELF.
You can call other people stupid all you like, but you know as well as I do that you're only behaving this way because you can't actually articulate a coherent argument for your position. Because the position you've adopted is wrong.
At first I thought they made a Pac-Man movie, which isn't surprising in the least considering they've made The Emoji Movie and Pixels, but I guess this is slightly better, a 3-D Pac-Man game.
@Snatcher and @TheMelodiusRose are people still confused Switch is a hybrid console? like you mentioned Nintendo marketing show familys, friends and whenever playing Switch in they house or in the park, thanks to Nintendo Switch i can take my extended battery Switch to my country house every extended holiday e vacation, i love this liberty of playing my games whenever e wherever i want, previosly i only could play my portable Nintendo consoles, in short Nintendo Switch give us the liberty of playing our games in the playstyle that better fit us.
@Giancarlothomaz nah, that was just the one user, who started to throw a fit because everyone kept telling them the switch was a handheld, and they insisted that the switch was a home console, despite everyone saying otherwise. Then they started name calling and well, they ended up deleting there account, but not before throwing in some last minute salt by saying no one can cope with facts and that we are living in a dreamland or whatever p.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

I honestly don't see what the big deal is whether if it's handheld or a home console. I guess there might be an argument to be made that the Switch might not perform as well as other consoles in terms of graphics (something Nintendo has never really been focused on compared to Sony and Microsoft), so one might suggest that its home console status isn't that big of a deal. But then you have Doom (2016) on Switch and your whole argument basically crumbles into nothing... especially when it's literally one of the most graphically superior video games of the 21st century.
So yeah, the Switch is suitable as a home console on 4K TVs as well. I've played my Switch on my 4K, and it looks stellar.
