The vita can be used like a home console.  connected to a TV and played with controllers.  does that make the vita a home comsole?  absolutely not. 

Heck, even the PSP could be connected to your TV, and that came out in 2004.

can you do 4 player split screen on the TV with PSP or Vita? (honest question, i dont know)

I actually don't know either, I have never owned a PSP or a Vita, and likely never will.

I was merely pointing out that a device and can be used for gaming both on the go and on a TV not a new concept. Don't get me wrong, I think Switch is a good idea, but it's not revolutionary.

Exactly.  so it's just your standard handheld that can connect to a TV.  We've had it for years.  the Switch is just the next succesor. more powerful with some extra features.

I dont think the idea in and of itself is revolutionary either but its seems to be a far more streamlined approach.

To me it seems like what Apple did for MP3 Players,  Smartphones & Tablets with iPod, iPhone & iPad. None of those devices were the first of their kind but they were big improvements over the previous attemps at those concepts.

With Switch, the concept is the focus while it was basically an afterthought for previous devices that did it.

Yeah, I think all three of us are on the same page here; it's improved over previous devices that offer similar functionality, its just not a brand new concept.

Can I play Vita games on TV on full screen!? Does Vita comes with separate controller that can be used for playing on TV!? Can I play local multiplayer games on Vita on TV!? Answer on all those questions is no, so yes Vita is just handheld, but Switch can do all those thing right out of box.

I really understand what are you trying to achieve here, using Switch at home is like using real home console (basically you have all features of home console), but you keep denying that.

Yes to all three actually.

Relly (we talk about handheld Vita), and can you take your Vita TV and play it on go!?

Lol and the regular vita can do it too! 

This just for home use, its not handheld in same time. And no, Vita can't do any things I wrote.

You tottaly ignored what I wrote:

Difference is that PSP can be only connected to TV and nothing more, while Switch you can be use like real home console with all features of real home console (for instance playing on full screen on TV, with separate controller, and local multiplayer), and you cant do that with PSP or Vita.

None of those things are particularly significant differentiating factors.
