It's the same concept as the Wii U, but it's a full fledged portable now. Even video kojima admitted that the switch reminded him of an evolution of what Sony was trying to do with the PS3 and the vita where you could take your hd games you play on your PS3 on the go. I will agree that the portable aspect will make the console more attractive to Japanese people who like mobile gaming

So its the same but different? Alrighty then.........

Its infinitely more streamlined and accessible than Vita/PS3 connectivity so they are not directly comparable, just like N-Gage & iPhone or Virtual Boy & Playstation VR or Power Glove & Wii Remote are not directly comparable and the failure of one means nothing for the other.

I agree that its more accessible than the Vita PS3. I was just saying that I agree with Hideo Kojima when he said that t he Switch seemed to himlike n evolution of what the Vita/ PS3 combo was striving for a gen earlier.  In fact, their patent for a switch-esque portable was leaked recently .This means between Sony and Nintendo we were already headed in this direction. Nintendo made the Wii U portable and Sony was doing the same. It was only a matter of time before one of them reached it first. Glad it was  Nintendo because they are better at portables quite frankly. 

Sony handheld patent that looks like the switch from two years ago.
