Because it feels embarrassing and I fear that people would think I'm a nerd.
When I sit at home I think, "hey, I could do that. There's nothing wrong with gaming in public" but a few days ago I brought my 3DS to the mall and was going to check on StreetPass (where Miis meet I think lol) but as soon as I had opened the device I got the feeling that people would see my as a nerd so I immediately put it back in my pocket and I couldn't force myself to pick it up again until I was outside the mall hidden behind a wall.

are you serious? I bring my vita and play it everywhere I travel and I am 24.

Well, I am happy for you. I wish I felt like you. But don't you feel the embarrassment even just a tiny little? At least in the beginning, your first time?
Honestly, in my country (Sweden) I never see people that play a handheld in public, except for small kids (under 12). I only saw one guy do it once on the train many years ago.

No I don't feel embarrassed at all because why should I? It is just the same as everybody playing on their smartphones or Ipads. Maybe it is because I game on the Vita when I travel that I don't feel embarressed. The Vitas design is more classy I think whereas the 3ds looks more like a toy.

Yeah. When I picked up the 3DS from my pocket I felt like a picked up a toy.
Perhaps I should have bought a Vita. But Vita doesn't have Zelda.

Well it depends really. You do see ALOT of kids playing the DSi everywhere, so the fact the DSi looks nearly indentical to the 3DS can be a bit off putting it you are self conscious. With the Vita though, I have no problem playing it on the bus, train or plane when people are beside me. Actually, when I first got the Vita I was playing Uncharted on the train and a guy sitting beside me starting talking to me and saying how great the screen was and how good the graphics were lol.
