I prefer handheld gaming over console gaming

I don't know, I go out a lot, so it makes sense, but even at home I like to play handhelds

I had OoT on my n64 for months before I beat it, but I beat OoT 3D in like 3 weeks, I just find it so much more accessible

Yes, I know the graphics are not as good, but do I care? No

I usually play my handhelds at home, so if I can play the game on console then I don't bother with the handheld version. That's why the Vita is so disappointing because 99.9% of everything on the system is on the PS3 or PS4, with better resolution and framerate.



Its okay, if you go to Japan, you will be the majority so yay!

I am opposite. Don't like playing in tiny screen. I prefer gaming in a big screen.



I don't really mind either personally. As long as it supplies me with some good releases then I'll enjoy the system, whether it be handheld or console.

I do too... Considering I have more Portable games than Console games (44 handheld games to 33 console games) . I love my PsP and especially my 3DS... I can give a hoot about the graphics too... As long as they don't look like Atari Graphics I'm gud.

Also I can't take a dump without taking either my 3DS or PSP (I feel sorry for the guy who's gonna buy my handhelds used ). Until Nintendo or Sony develops a way I can game on a console and take a ISH... Handhelds it is!!

P.S. I really thought the Wii U would solve this problem, but the frequency range is too short :-/.



It's okay. Depending on the game, I sometimes go mobile over console, myself. Some games just feel better on a portable. I've heard some people actually prefer tablet/mobile phone gaming over console gaming *gasp*. We're all still gaming brothers!



I prefer console gaming but I've always had a portable to go along with them, whether it be GBA, GB SP, PSP or 3DS, I feel like handhelds provide something that consoles can't, and vice versa. It's nice to mix it up, y'know?

Apparently when it comes to hand held use 70% is done at home , Handheld gaming at home has the same 70% figure.

What can we conclude from this information.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I don't like fiddling with tiny controllers and looking at a tiny screen. I don't even play free games on my phone, it's just too uncomfortable.
When I'm not at home, I just listen to audiobooks on my phone.
