But, when the PSP was released, most people didn't have big screen HDTVs. Playing PSP games on an SDTV looked fine. Think of it as the SD version of the Nintendo Switch.  Playing gameboy games on the SNES and then playing them on the go required owning both a gameboy, and an SNES, as well as an adapter, and you had to turn off your game and physically move the cartridge from one device to the other. With the PSP go, the handheld, a PS3 controller and the dock was all you need.

The fact of the matter is the PSP had a dock that allowed you to play PSP games on your television using a PS3 controller, or just take your PSP out of the dock, without powering it off and keep playing that same game on the go. That is the core concept behind the switch. The main difference between the Switch and the PSP go is that the Switch is in HD and the switch has removable controllers.

This is absolutely ridiculous that you're actually trying to claim that the super gameboy is the first realization of the core concept behind the Nintendo Switch.

No, the core concept of the switch is the merge between their handheld and home console divisions. They won't develop games for two systems anymore, but for one. When the PSP was released Sony split their resources between the PSP and PS3, so it's something entirely different.

The Super Gameboy is the exact same idea as playing PSP games on your TV screen, just with more advanced technology.

This is an assumption. As far as what has been publicly said, the Switch is a replacement for the Wii U only. We do not know at this time if Nintendo is actually merging their handheld and console divisions, much less only developing games for this one system. This is pure speculation at this point.

Quick question about the super gameboy - it function affected in any way by not owning a gameboy? No? Then its not the same thing. The super gameboy was just a way to play gameboy games on your tv if you owned a super nintendo. This requires two consoles (Super Nintendo, and Gameboy) in order to be able to take the same game from home, and on the go and back.  The psp dock was a way to play psp games on your tv and required a only psp to work. It didn't require any additional consoles. Therefore is is fundamentally different, and not at all the exact same idea.

If the Super Gameboy did not require a Super Nintendo in order to play Gameboy games on your television, you'd have a point, but it did, so you don't.
