Home-console because I have big hands that does not fit well with small handhelds.jj

And nowdays I need glasses to be able to see at handheld distance, and I hate glasses.

 But handhelds have better games mostly, so I hope Nintendo Fusion will be perfect for me.

Thank god for dildos ;)



Ever since i got my first handheld (Original Gameboy) I've seemed to always lean towards gaming on the go because i took them everywhere! Even though i don't take them with me anymore i still prefer the handheld scene more then the consoles. (I still love my consoles though!)



after ps3, home consoles.
after 3DS, handheld.
After wii U, home consoles

As much I love my Vita I would have to say consoles.



For a while I was gaming almost exclusively on handhelds, I always liked them since I got my Gameboy pocket and game gear but I gotta say in recent years I've preferred the home consoles and I don't really see that changing anytime soon. I don't even plan on buying the 3ds/vita atm.

Home consoles. I guess because I started at gaming with them (PS1 and SNES specifically).

Ironically that's a good reason to prefer handhelds... Vita can play almost every decent PSOne game, only now on the move, with an easy app-freeze that allows you to stop and come back to games, and they're all upscaled; meanwhile many decent SNES games can be played on either GBA or DS, (so a DS Lite is perfect), or if you don't mind a less straightforward method, a modded PSP plays them extremely well. Even in the house Wii U has a virtual console filled with SNES games for a semi-portable SNES experience. A while back I realised that a Vita, GBA-SP and 3DS covers almost every game I can concievably want to play on the move and if you get a small 7-10" laptop you can even play classic PC games on the move. I may never stay still again.

It was just an example. I love the rest of Sony/Nintendo home consoles too :)



Home consoles definitely.
