@zool Again you are ignoring the elephant in the room which is the perimeter clearly defined in the statement itself.
They are counting "systems".
Where in the post does it mention that the figures should be broken down into only 2 categories "handheld" and "home console", as vehemently insisted by you alone? 😃
"Nintendo Switch Is Now The Sixth Best-Selling Video Game System In Japan."
Anyone who can read the post will see that there is no "split" of systems into handheld/hybrid/home/cloud gaming console...etc in the original statement. Now who is the person bending and twisting the above statement here?
Insisting that there should be a split into only "two" categories was something brought about by you, and you alone to fit your desired narrative.

Nintendo Switch Is Now The Sixth Best-Selling Video Game System In Japan.
The statement reads as clear as day.
But a jealous and dishonest politician who doesn't want others to see the statement for what it is, could probably try to confuse others by shifting the goalposts to cater to his/her own selfish narrative.
They are counting the total number of systems sold for each console.
Nothing to do with whether the console is a "home" or "handheld" console.
As pointed out by others, its not simply a naming convention either.
The similar architecture of the Switch and Switch Lite (a Switch minus tv out) should be counted as being in the same family, just like the PSP (minus tv out) and its variations that had tv out (2000,3000 and GO).
So its clear. The Switch and the Switch Lite count as one.
@zool Isn't it fair game, since you picked the "dock" as a point to not count Switch Lites sold in the figures? So one can also pick "tv out" for PSP to not count the PSP 2000, 3000 and GO models? No?
But anyway.... the above would be entirely missing the point.
The Switch OG and Lite should be considered as one, just like the 3DS and New 3DS. They are just different revisions of the system. Nothing to do with being handheld or not.
Also, I really don't understand your last point, as a phone that is streaming is not a Playstation. It has absolutely no playstation hardware within it.
@zool
Your argument is flawed. If the "Dock Switch" model, which is essentially a Switch Lite with TV out, counts as a separate console, then the PSP 2000, PSP 3000 and the PSP GO should all count as separate consoles as well for having the option of TV out. This would probably not sit well with you since it would drag the PSP from its non top 3 podium finish to even lower levels.

There is a clear answer.
They are counting the total number of systems sold for each console.
Nothing to do with whether the console is a "home" or "handheld" console.
As pointed out by others, its not simply a naming convention either.
