I understand what you were comparing , but I don ' t think a phone connecting to a tv makes a good comparison when we are talking about consoles . You don ' t see the psp as a hybrid , but you see the PSTV as a home console , despite it being a handheld first . If I only use the PSP on my TV , it would be the same as a PSTV , except you wouldn ' t have choice with the PSTV , unless you bye two separated devices . I argue that Switch is more of or truehybrid or at least a better concept of a hybrid , because it was design as a home console first and had portable in mind . While the psp was design to be a handheld with tv being a distance afterthought . A feature they didn ' t even carry to the Vita . Instead made the PSTV that isn ' t even compatible with all the games officially and most games designed around only being on the go . Then why make an argument between the dock and a wire , if you are just going place it next to the TV anyway . While they may be away to just connect it directly to the tv , the dock is a more elegant and faster way to get it on the TV and take it on the go , if and when you want to . People who mainly focused on graphics and getting the most powerful machine , are honestly better off just getting a PC , but I expect even some of those people will like to game on the go . Wouldn ' t just be consolelike , it would be console games , but just because you don ' t want to play them on the go and just want to play at home or it isn ' t as strong as the other consoles , doesn ' t mean it isn ' t a hybrid . For people who just want to play console games and aren ' t graphics hungry , being about to play on the TV and on the go or just just one or the other is a nice feature . Alright , this has gone on long enough . P
