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.

Thats still not nearly the same thing.
A PSP3 that is similar in power and shares 90% of its games with PS4 is not redundant because it has the added functionality of being portable.
A 3DS successor that is similar in power and shares 90% of its games with Switch is redundant because the portability aspect is already present.
