10 years later and the performance of a Gamecube? That shows how far behind the times handhelds are. However performance should be a little better due to more efficient software and possibly a smaller screen. |
It's not about catching up. It's about cost and size. The PSP cost a lot when it came out due to the parts. A Nintendo handheld with similar specs now would likely cost as much as the DS did at first.

I understand all of this. Its about what is efficient to produce at the time. Its a balance between features, performance and offering a compelling user experience.

But that doesn't mean handhelds are behind. It just means the specs can't be too high to fit those things.

Older technology is often cheaper and more power efficient and made to fit the form factors desired for handhelds.
