The handheld market is already crowded as is. I don't know why anyone would want a portable XBLA player, or games that small in scope.

Maybe because games that are small in scope are perfect for handheld gaming?

Games like Dragon Quest nine, Pokemon, or Monster Hunter tend to disagree.

I never said those games do not lend themselves well to handheld gaming. My point was that games small in scope are better off on handhelds than on consoles. It doesn't work the other way around. As my small bit of evidence, Puzzle Quest, Exit, Every Extend Extra, Lumines and N+ are on Xbox Live and at least one of the two handheld devices.

And that's an opinion.

The fact is that games that aren't small in scope are the biggest sellers on handhelds.

Brain Age 1 + 2, Big Brain Academy, Clubhouse Games, Sight Training, English Training for Adults, Cooking Mama 1 + 2, Tetris DS, Warioware Touched, Imagine Babies, Common Sense Training, Imagine Fashion Designer, etc. haven't done all that bad.Also remember that Nintendo had the forethought to pack a very small scope game in with the original Game Boy called Tetris, and I'm sure you can finish the rest of that story.

Regarding the PSP, they don't market for small scope games and neither do they sell much software.

Also what was an opinion, that games that are small in scope work well on handhelds or that unless they do better than their meatier cousins they don't really belong there?
