That's also good news but the way I see it is the Switch is a portable handheld that can be played at home as a home console and not the other way around.
The reasoning for the marketing towards the Switch being a home console that you can take with you is because the Wii U is a big failure and Nintendo wants to cover that gap for the time being, it's not even as powerful as the XBone which is now considered a semi-last gen console with the PS4 Pro already released and the Scorpio on it's way.
If looking at the Switch as a handheld, it's the most powerful handheld to date that double as a home console something their competitors are lacking and will have to copy and look like copy cats in order to get a device out that is similar to compete.
Hybrid is the marketing now for the Switch until a price drop takes place with an option that does not force users buyers into the dock bundle which makes it a home console, when the time comes it'll replace and 3DS and most if not all 3DS owners will upgrade to a price dropped and non Hybrid Switch (still can get the dock separately the user wants to use it as a home console).
Edit:
Ask yourself this, why would anyone want to buy a another Nintendo portable that is less powerful than the Switch as a replacement for the 3DS?
Since the Switch is marketed as a Hybrid console replacing the Wii U as Nintendo home console for this generation, have you ever heard of the handheld being more powerful than a home console ever?
No way another 3DS replacement other than the Switch is going to be more powerful than the Switch (LOL), which bring me back to my first point now that Switch is out is there a demand for less powerful Nintendo handheld to replace the 3DS?
Truth is the Switch is placeholder, if it fails then a 3DS replacement comes out and if it succeeds it is the 3DS replacement.
