I'm pretty late to this but, the hype for the switch is that its a portable home console what every gamer who doesn't really play on handhelds wants. In reality we've already had two portable console try to emulate a home console on handhelds and it didn't go over to well.
The psp and vita respectivly. Hell the second version of the psp could directly plug into your tv and the vita has a home console version of it. However since neither of those are "real" home console most people who weren't into handhelds glossed over them. That's not to say neither of these console didnt have their problems (psp was hacked to shit as you well know and vita didn't have any huge western games to really prop it up in the west so it just became a psp 2.0 which means it was used as a weeb machine) one of those was their battery life. Psp was slightly better in that regard but its sleep mode was hit or miss and if you were playing a psp game you would only have bout 5ish hours of game time which isn't a lot if you're really traveling (flying,long bus ride, trains etc.). Vita's life was even worse with about 4hours on vita games however its sleep mode is fantastic but trying to use it while traveling is just as bad as using the psp. You have to have a charger with you at all times (both require the use of a power brick not something you can really shove in you pocket) or to buy a spare batter charger that you can charge up before hand. This doesn't even get into their portability issues that both of them have neither really fits inside of your pocket, or the fact that phones have all but replaced hand held consoles.
Which brings me back to the switch which is a tablet so not very portable not going to have a very long battery life and will probably require a power brick to charge and you don't have a very portable console anymore you just have a gimped under powered home console which is what the wii and wii u were. Nintendo keeps trying to strike gold again like they had with the wii but they don't seem to understand that the public for the wii has all but stopped playing games and have already sold their wii's or use them as streaming boxes and won't be buying their new console at all.
