On the topic, I just wanted to add that while consoles and handhelds right now are mutually exclusive, I think under the right circumstances a true hybrid can be achieved. As of right now, I don't think it is possible to achieve "hybrid" status, unless we go back and do some sort of hardware revision of an older system. Mostly because of the sacrifice in hardware power. Traditionally, next gen machines can't afford to sacrifice anything to be portable, likewise, handhelds can't afford to bulk up their machines. But a hardware revision of an older system, even as early as the start of this current generation, may be possible. So what would that look like?

Let's take the SNES, for instance. Older machine. Obviously Nintendo has slimmed down the hardware for the Mini or Classic console. This would not be that difficult to make a hybrid out of it, granted it ticks most of the boxes in my 5 Reasons, listed above. A simple controller attached to a screen would pretty much make it a functional SNES handheld. With a portability factor, its own independent screen and internal battery, nobody would argue. And as long as it still retained the ability to be plugged directly into a big screen without a dock, the option to plug in and play without draining a battery indefinitely, no sacrifice in power and a controller mode that detaches, much like the Switch... I think a true hybrid can be achieved. Unfortunately, the Switch only manages to be able to play with a detached controller. But it is a step in the right direction.
