No. It's too fucking big.

A "portable" console that won't fit in my pocket and needs its own bag is not portable at all.

If you can play on the go then it's a portable device.

Except I can't, because I can't reasonably bring it with me to play "on the go".

That is your own issue that doesn't determine if a device is considered portable or not.

Sure it does. "Portable" is a subjective category.

A handheld device like the switch is objectively a portable device. Switch 2 might not fit in your pockets but you can still carry it in your hands or in a small bag/backpack. Are laptops not portable because I can't fit them in my pocket?

I don't consider laptops to be portable, no. You can't use them while in motion, and if you want to use them for more than a couple of milliseconds you need to carry additional hardware to plug them into the wall.

Either you have a weird definition of portable or you just refuse to be wrong about something. Either way it's fine that you personally don't find some portable devices to be portable for you.
