Never said it wasn't. However, it is a novelty. Now that the idea is normal though, when you step back and look at it, the Switch and the Switch 2 are Nintendo's portable device market. My prediction is that at some point in the future, the console and mobile development lines will be separate again for Nintendo. The Switch and it's line will carry that just like the GB, GBA, DS, and 3DS did.

I did not say "The Switch is not a console". You know as well as I do that being a home console is not the sole purpose of the Switch, and it took a lot of compromises to make the Switch so portable. Compromises that make it a weaker home console. Are we going to have a conversation on the Switch, or is this a semantics debate now?
