So again... 2009 technology. And the PSP Go did have an added performance mode that developers could enable at any time, including when the console was docked. Still not sure how the situation gets worse? Because the dock cost $50 and the PS3 controller cost $30 at the time? I'm pretty sure there's many people out there that would have jumped at a Switch that didn't come with a TV dock if it cost $50 less.

Look, all I'm saying is that if at E3 2018, Sony announces a PS4 portable that can connect with PS4 controllers (or move controllers) via bluetooth, and has an dock that allows you to play it on the TV with the PS4 controller (or move controllers), they won't be copying Nintendo or the Switch.

If Nintendo Switch failed, pretty sure you all won't mention this. So because the tech and the cost didn't enable it yet, so it count? By your logic, I can say Nintendo already planed all their systems from 50 years ago but the tech and the cost didn't exist so they can't make them become relevant. And as of now, no matter who think about it first, Nintendo is the first one do it and success. And Sony one is digital only, right?

I mentioned this after the Switch was announced, so I'm not sure why you think the success of the Switch has anything to do with my comment.

Again, my point was that Sony has already made a console that shared many core concepts with the Switch, so if they released a new handheld that shared many core concepts with the Switch, they'd also be releasing a handheld that shared many core concepts with the PSP go, so they wouldn't be copying Nintendo, they would be evolving technology they already created and released.

That's it.

Also, the PSP sold over 80 million consoles, and was clearly a successful platform, how on earth can you credit Nintendo as the first to do this concept successfully?
