No as it will be a waste of time.
Nope, they have no reason to really. It'll function as a more powerful handheld that you can play on your TV which is okay in my book but Sony and Microsoft won't sacrifice power for portability and convenience. Especially for the audience they're chasing.

*sigh...I want to pay PSP games on big screen that's who!! I did play it on the big screen and I enjoyed the heck out of that feature so don't talk like you know how everybody wants to play their games! You can even youtube vids that there's enough people that like to hook up their PSP to TVs. And no, nobody's pretending that this is all the Switch is but you can dam be sure that the hybrid is a HUGE part of what the Switch is as what Nintendo has already shown us. So how about you dont pretend that the Switch is something way way more than just a hybrid. I'm basing off facts, you're just basing of speculations and hoping that its more than just a hybrid. Tell me, what are you basing that the Switch is more than just a hybrid? You stop pretending. And no, i've stated this before, the Gameboy Adapter isn't the same. It requires two different gaming devices and an add-on, whereas the Switch is just a single device with a single library of games. If anything Sega is the first and the original single hybrid device with the Sega Nomad. And the Gameboy adapter may have released in 94, while the Nomad in 95. But you can be sure that Sega was making the Nomad around the same time Nintendo did with GB adapter. Possibly even sooner since the Nomad was a full device while the the GB adapter was just..an adapter that probably didnt take as long to make compared to the Nomad. Geez, what's up with these Nintendo fans that think Nintendo invented everything. Hell I use to be a big Nintendo fan since the NES, with most of my gaming life revolved around Nintendo but even I know that there are somethings that were innovative that wasnt by Nintendo. Give credit where it's suppose to be given. geez... |
I guess you'll live in denial then that Nintendo beat Sega and Sony to the punch when it came to handheld gaming on your TV. You can shift goalposts all you want, but those are the facts.
You say the Super Gameboy is not the same as the Switch... Well guess what, neither is the Sega Nomad, PSP or PS Vita. Could the PSP play Sony's PS3 games on the go? No? Not the same as the Switch then, not by a long shot. As for the Vita: Sony isn't even developping games for it anymore and hasn't for a long time. You still need to purchase two different systems and it works by streaming (which is very clunky and unreliable in many countries). The Vita an the PS4 do not have a unified library of games like the Switch will have. It doesn't have detachable controllers either. So again, it's not the same as the Switch. Playing PS4 games on the PS Vita can be a very frustrating ordeal due to the difference in control lay-out. PS4 games are made with the PS4 controller in mind, not the PS Vita.

What do you mean?
No, the PS4 is doing great and with the Pro, it will do just fine
Microsoft is doing fine as well, and they are moving towards PC anyways

Well technically supergame boy was addon for two different consoles compared to PSP and Nomad which were single system and had the ability to hook it up to ur tv "built in". But dont you think we should walk down a little bit more down the road and meet Turbo Grafx 16 and Turbo Express, oh and look who we have next door, Game Gear which also had an addon to play Sega Master systems carts, how fascinating. Predates Super Game Boy "originality" by 4 years. And 4 year's are enough to come up with something "innovative". Sorry to burst your bubble.

Who on earth wants to play PSP games on a big screen HD TV? This is NOT the same as the Nintendo Switch (and we don't even know all the information yet, so stop pretending this is all the Switch is). You do realize you could already play GAMEBOY games on the SNES with the Super Game Boy (1994)? So if anything, Nintendo certainly was the first. The idea is just fully realized now, and again, Nintendo is the first that's doing so. |
Sega Game gear from 1990 says hi, So does Turbo Express

So the best you can come up with are handheld consoles nobody every played or bought. Fascinating. Innovation is building on top of the knowledge of previous generations: we don't start from zero every time we "invent" something new. Scientific knowledge is cumulative, something a lot of you guys are apparently unaware of.
Oh and it's entirely possible for two entities to come up with the same idea independently from each other: just look at farming and the domestication of animals.
