Except it's not the same and if you can't tell why than you never will. But I'll try to explain it to you:

 

  • The PSP games don't take up the full screen of your TV, so your stuck playing the game with huge black borders.
  • It doesn't change the resulotion when it outputs the game on TV, which means the games are overstretched and are filled with jaggies. The Nintendo Switch is more powerful when docked. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe runs at 1080p on the TV for example. 
  • You're stuck controlling the game with a PSP that is connected to your TV by wires. The Switch supports a Pro Controller and also has detachable joycon controllers. 
  • The process is rather slow and cumbersome on the PSP. With the Switch you just put it in or out of the dock and the games appear immediatly. 
  • You're not getting access to Sony's full library of games. Nintendo will only develop games for the Switch from now on. Sony focused most of its effort on the PS3 during the PSP's life cycle. So if you wanted access to all PS had to offer you still needed to buy a PS3 on top of your PSP. With Nintendo you'll only have to buy the Switch to enjoy all of Nintendo's games. This is quite litterally the most important advantage the Nintendo Switch will have. 
Just look at that video. 

 

welcome to the future NEW systems having enhanced features ,sure proves the doubters wrong and goes to show that tech can improve over time .

Still some thing being improved doesn't  make it  unique.

The Switch is unique. 

All the PSP did was have a video-out to a TV. It wasn't even the first handheld to do so. It was a mere gimmick for the PSP, one that was barely used and hardly advertised. You weren't going to be playing The Last of Us on your PSP, now were you? Switch will play games like Breath of the Wild, Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 everywhere you want. 

The last point I offered is actually by far the most important thing about the Switch and that's what makes it a unique Nintendo console. No longer will their effort be split between two different consoles.

And there's a butt-load of other stuff that sets the Switch apart from other consoles like detachable controllers, HD rumble, etc.
