You seem to be oblivious to the obvious and it seems not matter how much I try you seem to be unable to grasp any of my points I made about home console expiriance on portables, despite me pointing to Nintendo games that do just that and have done very well from themsels, and depsite me being an advocate for that because it broadens whats available on the platform, which at the end of the day is a good thing for consumers. Yet you brush it aside as if that was a bad thing but never explain...so perhaps I should let you be, as they saying goes "ignorance is bliss" ** .

Before I let you be, please indulge me one last time by answering my unanswered question:  If done right, is it a bad thing to have a home console experiance on a handheld similarly to how Movie can spawn a TV series?

 

** (not that your irgnorant cuz I don't know you, but to imply that you wish to live in your own bubble despite the reality that's around you, so if your are offended by that saying,  then I apologise as that was not my intention.)

I'm not oblivious to your points, I just don't agree with them.

A home console experience on a handheld isn't the same as a movies spawning a TV series, it's more like a TV show being released to cinemas. Is it necessarily a bad thing? No. But the market does tend to prefer more bite-sized, intimate handheld offerings.

That doesn't mean you have to, though. My tastes aren't reflected by the market either.

Thank you for providing an aswear to my question, much appriciated, though I had a feeling that would be your answer :)

I would agree that the market does tend to prefer more bite-sized offerings, this is why these small bite-sized are so popular on smart phones and also why smartphone market is exponentially growing, looking at japan the smartphone gaming market has now apparently overtaken traditional games hardware/software market, look at Candy crush, it's become the latest craze.
