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).

None of those things are particularly relevant or significant differentiating factors.

Of Course it's reveleant, you didn't use PSP for instance, but when you connecte PSP to TV, it just handheld connected to TV, but with Switch you have full experience of home console out of box, not just playing on TV, thats a point.

You don't have "full experience of home console" with Switch though. You get mobile hardware.



Maybe, but they only need to claim NS as 3ds successor and put pokemon main title on it to make NS successful.

Mobile hardware or strength of hardware does not change anything, that mobile hardware is more powerful than Wii U hardware that isn't mobile, you will have better or at least same in that sense "home console experience" with Switch compared to WiiU.

That's the thing though, Wii U was not mobile. Switch is. It's not a home console, it's a portable with the feature of connecting to your TV. If Sony made a dock for the Vita, would that be a "hybrid" too?

Switch is hybrid of home console and handheld, it not only handheld and its not only home console. If Sony made Vita that can be used like real home console out of box (with all features of home console), we could also say thats a hybrid.

It's not a home console at all. You can play Vita and PSP on the TV like a "home console experience".

Not home console at all!? So how can be used like real home console with all features, like playing on TV with full screen (most likly at higher resolution than in handheld mode), with separate controllers in local multiplayer, out of box!? What's exactly different compared to Wii U expect that can be use like handheld also!?

No you cant, PSP gave only half of picture on TV, and I am not sure you can play Vita games on TV at all, even that's possible thats just handheld with picture on TV, wile with Switch you have full home console experience out of box (for instance playing on full screen on TV, with separate controller, and local multiplayer).

Also you are very aware of fact that some people will use it like home console only and rarely use it like handheld, and in that use there will not be any difference compared to any other home consoles.



Sounds like VGC needs a Nintendo Switch is "Domed" thread.

Jokes aside, if the Switch does about as well as Nvidia's Shield, either Nintendo is going to have to scale back its presence in the home gaming market or restructure itself into a software, IP and services business. It would be a bit odd to play Nintendo games on non-Nintendo consoles, but we've seen crazier things over the years.

Personally, I think it looks like a great home for the next generation of Nintendo sequels and I like the portability of the hardware, which makes it the easiest console to live with, but I also really liked the PS Vita and we all know how that turned out. Of course the Switch has the advantage of replacing both the 3DS and Wii U with a single device.

There's no meaningful difference between Switch's "full home console experience" and Vita/PSP played on a TV though. Local multiplayer is increasingly irrelevant in modern gaming. A separate controller doesn't matter cos Vita/PSP can serve as such. Resolution is a matter of quality, not a gamechanger.
