I've been wondering the logic behind the Switch being ""portable"" since when they were calling it the NX, and using a friend's really didn't do anything to change that for me. This thing is less pocketable than the DMG and has a 3 hour battery life.
So wait, why do people call these things portable again?

I don't care. I am currently waiting for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and playing Spider-ManPS4 because I want to play as Spider-Man (Peter Parker) and his eternal rival, Venom (Eddie Brock.)
I do not care for Spider-Man (Miles Morales) because he is weak. His Venom Blasts are weaker than a serious punch from Peter Parker as seen in the Red Goblin arc of TASM which is the only good thing that the pig, Dan Slott, has written. Also, Miles Morales is barely Class 10 as he's physically weaker than 1610 Peter Parker, but 616 Peter Parker is Class 25 while holding back. At full bloodlust, Peter Parker is Class 50 (pic related) and he exceeds Class 100 with either the Venom Symbiote or the Other as they are both stronger than Morlun who can survive Wakandan nukes. Even against high-end super humans, Peter Parker has to hold back because his Mark of Kaine is strong enough to casually tear apart Iron Man's armor.
With the Other or the Venom symbiote, Peter Parker can hurt and even kill gods. Superior Venom made Thor bleed with a punch. Kaine has shown that the Other at its full potential can kill Solus with ease, so Peter Parker could also do the same as he is the Spider-Totem's chosen one unlike Miles Morales.
Wall Crawling is the most dangerous ability that a superhero can have, and the Mark of Kain isn't just Peter Parker using his wall crawling powers on your face. It is control over electrostatic forces just as the Speed Force is control over kinetic energy instead of simple "super speed." This means that the pain of the Mark of Kaine comes from Peter Parker forcibly splitting apart the atoms that comprise your face. But that's not all. Peter Parker's mutations have allowed him to control these electrostatic forces with any part of his body such as the time Anti-Venom tried to remove Peter's mask, but it was stuck on his face. Can you imagine what would happen if Peter Parker where to throw a punch with the Mark of Kaine instead of placing his hands on his enemy's face?

the switch is the worst "portable" console ever made. it's oversized, unergonomic without a grip case, the joycons are cheap shit, the battery lasts two hours, and every game looks and runs like shit in handheld mode.
handheld mode isn't a worthwhile successor to the 3ds, it's a shitty gimmick they tacked on to the switch to justify lagging a generation behind on hardware again.

This shit again? How do you take your PS4 or Xbone along with you? You need the console itself, controllers, a screen, and all the wires to actually hook it up. Now compare that portability to the Switch's. You just need the Switch and nothing else.
So yes it's portable. A little on the big side sure but it's portable.

nice OP I have all those things too

I can lug around my original 1992 Game Boy in my pocket, it's cumbersome but possible. I can't put this thing in my pocket. My Game Boy lasts 20 hours on one set of batteries, the Switch lasts three on one charge. When the DMG is more of a handheld than your console you really need to re-evaluate your whole plan. And to add insult to injury they're killing off the 3DS for this shit, when this isn't and will never be a portable console.

the ps4 and xbone aren't being sold as portable consoles. the switch is, and it fucking sucks at it compared to previous portable consoles.

Without the joycons attached it's nearly the same size as the original Gameboy and the 3DS XL.

portable has a variety of different meanings. There are basically laptop brief cases for consoles that have monitors in them but need to be plugged in but that is way more portable than lugging a TV and console around. A laptop is a portable computer but harder to pull out in certain places and have limited battery life but can be plugged in. Gameboys were not even great pocket systems. Often kept in bags over pockets even the gameboy pocket. i dont deny Many people still use them in their pockets but its not a sole factor of portability even if it was a selling factor for some versions of the systems. Switch is too big as a pocket system but a fine system for a bag system. something to take out in places or easily transport somewhere between a laptop and a pocket sized gameboy or similar
