I think the primary difference is marketing; PSP and Vita weren't marketed for their ability to offer both on-the-go and at-home-on-your-TV play. It was treated as a kind of throwaway feature, while with Switch, this capability is being marketed as the system's core ideal. It's more a matter of advertising than functionality.

Offcourse you are wrong, primary difrence is that PSP/Vita are not built on first place to be used like real home consoles also, they are just handhelds that have just ability to be conected to TV (PSP at least have, I am not sure that Vita has ability to play Vita games on TV at all), while Switch is built to be used like real home console and real handheld in same time, it's built that operate like that, thats why you have dock and you have separate controller in package and thats why you have full home console expariance with Switch out of box, and thats why Nintendo is marketing like, you cant say that for PSP and Vita.

By no meaningful criteria is Switch any more of a "real home console" than a PSP connected to your television. They both offer the ability to game on the go or on a TV. Only real difference is Nintendo is centering their branding around this feature while Sony did not.
