Its not at all marketing PR, it's clear fact like we saw in Switch video.

Yes, you can use PS3 controller for PSP, but you need to buy separately PS3 controller and you even need to buy separate cable for connecting PSP to TV. But Switch its not just a handheld with ability to connect to TV, again: its built from ground and with main purpose that can act like real home console and like real handheld out of box, OS is built with that purpose, hardware is built with that purpose, controls are are build with those purpose, games are built with those purpose, hybrid, (so it not just handheld that has just option to have just picture on TV like PSP) that's why home console users and handheld users will buy it, you cant say that for PSP. Whole point of Switch is to "switch" between home console mode and handheld mode, it's a hybrid. So saying that Switch is just handheld that can be connected to TV like PSP or Vita is totally wrong, but you keep deny that fact, so I really has nothing to say to you on this matter because you totally denying or ignoring facts, you can continue thinking that Switch is same thing like PSP even reality is totally different.

"Purpose" in the sense you're using it amounts to pretty much just marketing though. PSP was made with the ability to be played on a TV. It just didn't use this feature as the cornerstone of its marketing. What matters is functionality, and PSP has the functionality of being playable both portably and on a TV screen, which is the same core idea as Switch. The only meaningful difference is that Switch does it better, but that's to be expected of a device two generations newer.

Already wrote, but one more last time, PSP is just handheld that has feature to connect to TV, while Switch has all features of home console and gave full home console experience out of box.Yes functionality matter and actually its main point not PR, and Switch has full home console functionality, full home console functionality is core idea for Switch same like its full handheld functionality, and Nintendo made Switch-hybrid with that on mind, every aspect of Switch is made with that on mind, home console and handheld in one, with all features of home console and all features of handheld, not just "can conect to TV". Because of that functionality nobody really bought PSP to use it like home console but Switch will bouth buy home consoles and handhelds users. Also beacuse Switch is home console in same time, it will have full console experience versions of games offcourse (new 3D Mario, Zelda BotW, new Retros game, Skyrim, Just Dance, NBA 2k....), did PSP or even Vita has games like that, of course not, ask your self why than Switch is getting games like Skyrim, Just Dance, NBA 2K...
