Why do people get caught up on console names?
The Mega Drive had no drive. The Xbox One is the third Xbox. The PSP Go did not play PSP retail games. The Game Boy micro could not play Game Boy games (only GBA).
In 2-3 years Nintendo Switch will just be a brand. The console family that plays Nintendo Switch games. The games you play on it an still be switched, pop them out of the Switch mini and into the Switch TV (presumably cloud saves will come to make that easier).
All those examples you just mentioned are irrelevant, and aren't good analogies to counter the argument that the Switch's name doesn't mean much. The Switch tells you what the concept is about, the names like Xbox One/Genesis-MegaDrive/Gameboy don't.
In fact, the better argument against your point is if Nintendo kept the 3DS and DS brand but decided to go with the one screen hardware instead of two as the name suggests. The Switch works the same way.
