The handheld ist the whole console. Hybrid is the false name because the docking station give you no graphic power. The docking station is for Power supply and conncection to the TV. In the video you can see that the a player disconnect the Switch running Zelda on the fly which means in my opinion no Chip in the station.…

If you are on the go why would you bring a device with such a large form factor and singular purpose? The mobile…
The power of the console doesn't matter too much as long as it can play ports without them being a shell of the original games, the Wii and WiiU ports were awful. That's where it's going to be interesting. Are the Xbox 1, PS4, and Switch going to get decent ports from the Xbox and PS 4k variants until there's actually a…
