See, that's what I thought. But apparently that's just a "fanboy definition". because reasons?
Nope! Your definition was "it's a handheld with closer to console power, or it's a console that can be used as a handheld" which is not a hybrid. A hybrid is literally a portable, with an HDMI port of some sort. Imagine the Game Boy Color, but with a video-out cable. That's not a "console that can be used as a handheld."

Well, I would argue that there's a bit of range for the definition. Anywhere a home console and a handheld overlap in function and form could equate to a hybrid. I aimed for center of the overlap, you seemed to work from handheld and the first thing added that caused any overlap would be considered a "hybrid".

That's accurate as well, just a different perspective. though I'm hoping you're not saying that the switch is not a handheld as a function.

Gotta say, i might be buying a switch for Xenoblade 2 alone.
An interesting point, because I might be doing the same. I was just enjoying my peace of downtime. I just finished Xenoblade 1 in December and just a few days later they announce Xenoblade 2 D: I have barely had time to touch Chronicles X!
The original Xenoblade, while still in 480p was quite impressive on the Wii.

I'm playing back through 1 on the Wii U with the gamepad, and i have to say that X really dissapointed me. The game is fine, but it's nothing like Xenoblade 1. It feels like they made a random RPG and then decided to slap Xenoblade on it at the last second.

Except it wasn't at the last second and a lot of the game is similar to Xenoblade (like the battle system). :|

Thats kinda how I feel too. The mechanics are kinda the same but other than that... the fantasy sci fi is gone and everything feels so serious.
