Fair enough, but my comment with that phrase wasn't entirely directed to you, nor to those who don't enjoy the JRPG offerings in the handheld department. 

There's a group of people here in VGC and the majority of gaming forums that complain about the lack of quality in the current generation, yet when they're confronted with the argument of handhelds, they quickly disregard them, calling them either an inferior gaming experience or less worthy than the home consoles. 

That argument could have well been used for almost every other genre that's doing well on the handheld department, while performing poorly on the home consoles department. 

I dislike those type of arguments, because they don't give an actual reflection to the current situation of the genres. You could also thrown in that argument the people who use "Who cares about PC gaming" or "PC gaming is dead" as well. As much as people don't like the offerings in a certain department, that doesn't make them any less viable no? 

Thats what you meant... I also hate it when people dont want to look at the bigger picture. Writing surely makes it longer to understand each other. lol

Yeah, but at least that way we get our message through  

I like having these kind of discussions, it's quite different from the usual "lol, it sucks because I say so" majority of discussions that arise on the forums
