It's both, and nothing else* is.
I still can't fathom how that is such an alien concept to parts of GAF.
*outside of - arguably - gaming laptops, but they still have a worse form factor for portability
The point is, Nintendo is competing with MS and Sony, no matter how people on Gaf try to twist this.
Average Bill walks into the video-games department of a store with 400$ in his pockets.
"Hm, what am I going to buy? This thing
that plays games and I can carry it around...or this thing
that plays games , those games looking great with my 4K TV? Or the cheaper version with 2 games?", "Or will I spend my hard earned cash on something completely else, something that
doesn't play games"
Some people on Gaf should really try the average person's view for once. Imagine telling a non-gamer that you bought a Switch and a PS4/X1 in quick succession. Most people will say: "But why? You just bought a gaming thing 2 weeks ago"
