How about a truly portable version between a slightly less powerful than a PS4 pro, is easy to port to so it shares 90% of the same games as PS4, has Vita backwards compatibility, lacks PS VR suppprt but has a selection of exclusive titles that make use of some extra feature?

Yeah, Sony might make that some day in the next few years.

bolded part kinda confused me

but no, thats not really the same thing. Your Nintendo comparison is 2 seperate devices that both have handheld functionality while your Sony comparison is one device that is solely a home console and one that is solely a handheld.

In order to be a similar scenario as your Nintendo one, the new Sony device would have to be a home console.

Having 2 seperate handhelds with 90% of the same game is redundant, having a seperate home console and handheld with 90% of the same games is not.

Sorry, remove the "between a" and replace it with a "slightly less". The sony portable would be slightly less powerful.

I forgot to mention, like the PSP and Vita, the handheld can be docked and display on a television with additional controller functionality. Apparently that's what it takes to make a "hybrid console" so Sony has already made two one of them.

Edit: Only the Vita dev kits had an HDMI out on them. Forgot that never made it to the production units. Sorry.
