Sony ought to announce it anyway then just cancel the project later just to damage the Switch launch. 

To be honest I don't know the situation with Sony. Vita has sold ok, more than wii u but hardly staggering. A vita with a wireless tv dongle could re-invigorate sales on the back of Switch.

Business doesn't work that way mate, an annoucement won't damage the launch in anyway if the is no project behind it especially as Nintendo are the market leaders in the market, not only has Vita lessened Sony presence on the portable scene but the onus would be on Sony to convince consumers of that market as a result.

It would end up backfiring because Zelda alone would ensure Switch has a good launch regardless of an announcement meaning that only a long term strategy from Sony can damage Switch and a false announcement isn't that. Only thing that can damage Switch at launch is pricing.

PS2 reveal did a lot to damage Sega Dreamcast.  My point was about a AMD zen architecture portable announcemnt damaging Switch launch numbers but also a repackaged Vita along the lines of Switch as an option that could damage Switch sales purely on the basis that it would be a Vita phone which is more portable. So less powerful home console when docked but more convenient portable device. 

You take your phone to work/school etc you get home and place it in the dock and can run all the same apps, games, media with TV output. It's if anything better than Switch in concept. One device for all and streams ps4 content which can be in another room. I think its a good concept. When docked it also charges up the phone for the next day of use and being lower powered one charge lasts all day.  Vita games aren't bad.  If the Switch concept proves successful its a good parallel concept for Sony to cash in on but with a weaker phone rather than a tablet.
