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.

Personally, I don't think a device that is bigger than a Vita and has a battery life of less than two hours is really that portable to begin with. That's just me though. I don't really want to argue over whether or not the Switch is truly a portable or not, so I'll just go by what Nintendo has said on many different occasions.

"Nintendo Switch is a home gaming system first and foremost."

I'm going to leave it at that.
