All portable system up to the DS always had similar games. Its the second touch screen the DS had that provided new types of game. Releasing a tablet controller on a home system first would have did the same thing. If you get my point, theres no such thing as "portable game" or "home game". Its just that some games are more suited to quick play session.


I think what some of us (or at least, me) meant was that in the past, we always got games on a portable that had to sacrifice something from the console games of the day.  Like how Gameboy games were simplified Nes games or how GBA games were always a lot weaker than Gamecube games or even how PSP games were quite a bit behind PS3 games.  Some of it was due to interface.  Some of it was due to horsepower.

The PSV seems to be able to give us games that are right up there with the PS3 as far as experience is concerned.  Pretty impressive.  The other systems that played the same game as the consoles seemed to fail but their problems aren't likely to be repeated by the PSV.  I do agree with your post, though (especially the bolded).  I just wanted to clarify.
