Actually the PSP had more features than the Switch has at the moment... just putting it out there.

Switch already has a better library of games than the PSP during its entire lifetime after only 10 months on the market... just putting that out there... 

Lol.. no :)) You obviously havent played a whole lot on a PSP if at all. Otherwise you would know that it had one amazing and varied library. I love my Switch it has a couple of amazing games( SMO is easily my GOTY), but library wise it's still far off from the PSP.

I played the MGS game on it, and it was decent, but felt inferior to the home console games, I played the GoW games and I just found them to be boring (although I'm not a hack & slash fan), I played Valkyria Chronicles 2 and the game was good, but again, felt inferior to the one on the PS3, I played the GTA games and they were good, but again inferior to GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas.

That's a running theme for me with PSP games.

Switch has one major advantage the PSP never had: the indie boom and the rise of digital gaming. There are so many good indie games out there that make modern consoles far better than older consoles.

I play on every console and my Switch does get more play than the others but I have to say, a lot of the times the Switch version of games is way below the versions on Xbox and PS4...

Not sure what games you're buying then, that horrible wrestling game or what?

My games: 

- Breath of the Wild (exlusive)

- Super Mario Odyssey (exclusive)

- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (exclusive)

- Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle (exclusive)

- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (exclusive)

- Splatoon 2 (exclusive)

- Steamworld Dig 2 (no difference) 

- Sonic Mania (no difference) 

- Steamworld Heist: Ultimate Edition (no difference + free dlc included) 

- Stardew Valley (no difference)

- Skyrim (lower resolution and graphics look a bit less good, but a fair trade-off for portability. It runs quite well on the Switch.)

- Enter the Gungeon (no difference)

It's easy to hate Nintendo and their hardware philosophy when you consider that they dare to release a mobile device without bluetooth support. Yeah, the thing I really need with my portable mobile device is more cables.

And don't come with that "battery drain" bullshit. The latest Bluetooth standards basically drain less battery than physically plugged in headphones. And even that isn't enough to make a dent in the effective playtime.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Sony should then just reskin PSVita, include a dock for it to plug on the TV and relaunch it as PlaySwitch Vita.

That's not really a revelation. It is known that the Vita failed because it was too good.

And unfortunately, goodness comes at a price.

and price rhymes with rice.
