So, Sony went to all the trouble investing money into a feature that allowed you to hook up your PSP to the TV (with a DS3 controller no less), but you feel it's invalid compared to the switch because you feel it wasn't marketed well enough or was successful enough. The marketing/success is irrelevant. Sony invested money into a feature to be used by people. We can't invalidate that just because we feel the marketing wasn't right or it's success doesn't warrant mentioning it. 

All Sony did really was create wires to hook up to TV (and optional dock) just like every mobile/portable device would have. DS3 was already created for PS3 so with the PSP already having bluetooth in mind, it was a simple matter of connecting them together. Sony hardly invested much at all into the PSP to connect to TV that wasn't already established because it wasn't a feature they were focusing on. It was called "PS Portable" because that was the feature they were focusing on.

Are you also going to say Laptops are also home consoles? For a long time laptops had, and still has, the capabilities of connecting to TV too.  Hook that up, load up Steam or emulators with a controller and it does just the same.

No of course I wouldn't. It's simple, anything with a battery and a screen is a portable console/device and anything that doesn't have battery or screen is a home console/device. To the people on here though, the switch can be considered a home console because it connects to a TV and plays games. Well by that logic, phones are consoles, laptops are consoles and the PSP was a console. 

Also, the PSP 1.0 didn't have the feature. Sony DID invest in the feature for the later models, and I'm sure if they invested in it, they intended for it to be used.
