... or both the same?

Nintendo handheld market is their strongest half in their gaming business according to unit sales. I was wondering how well does that translate to the people here in VGChartz or, if in constrast to what the sales out there show, people here are more into Nintendo consoles than their handheld.  Of course, you could be into both, but let us see about that.

Feel free to share why you prefer consoles to handheld if it is the case.

Of course, I'm polling this one.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

It's actually a pretty difficult question. I mean I don't really like handhelds so the obvious answer would be home consoles, but my favourite Nintendo exclusive, by far, is Pokemon which only ever releases main series games on handhelds. I suppose the hardware is more important than the games on it, since those could change.

So I'll say home consoles, and just wish that main series Pokemon games start releasing on them

Also FYI it should be sales in this case and not sells.

lol fixed it. Be honest, you just posted here cuz you wanted to correct me. :P

I have always prefered handhelds over consoles, and now that the handhelds are getting more and more powerful, I preffer them more than ever.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Currently I'm into Handhelds but I plan on taking both the handheld and the home console next gen



Pre-Wii: consoles
Since the Wii: handhelds

Handhelds, I always get the handhelds quickly after the release. I could wait a bit for their consoles to accumulate a backlog.



I was into the consoles more than 3DS come out and changed all that (even bought multiple 3ds consoles), then 3DS kind of went in limbo with software that appealed to me and Wii U has taken over again



 

 

I grew up on Nintendo handhelds, so for me it's handhelds hand down.
Although I do probably love my WiiU as much as I do because it's practically a big ol' Handheld.
Strange thing about that is that I don't even game much on the go, I'll do it on long travels, but on a day to day basis I game at home, lying in my bed.
I think it's because I'm slightly shortsighted that small screens don't bother me, while bigger screens make me dizzy, if I don't wear my glasses.



Both the same, i don't care what platform something comes out on, if it is good i will probably buy it, which is why i also have a PS4, a vita and a high-end gaming PC.



Handhelds, with the exception of the Wii generation where I was more of a fan of the home console.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
