"If you're not on the go, you have no need for a handheld."

Sorry but that's just stupid. I knew a lot of people who had a PSP and nobody just took it out and about like that for train rides or to play on the bus because of fear or losing it or it getting stolen. They either played it at home or they took it on holiday.

There's a lot of people that probably do play games on the go and there's just as many that just buy it for the games exclusive to the console. The people I know who have a Vita have never taken the thing outside their house.

I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear, GTA and Final fantasy and I bought their respective games for the PSP because they could not be found on a home console.

So let me get this straight, you're going to play your PSP, Vita, etc in front of your big screen T.V. where your PS3 and PS4 are hooked up?

Wasn't there a study a couple years back that said people usually play their handhelds at home?

You're totally wrong about having no need for a handheld if you're not on the go, anyways. That would only be true if it weren't for the games that are available only on handhelds.

I'm not wrong, the entire purpose of dedicated handhelds was to bring console gaming on the go.  The original gameboy was a dumping ground for nes titles.  GBA was a snes port machine, DS started off as an n64 port machine.  The 3DS's biggest early titles were ports of n64 titles.  The Game Gear was a master system based handheld with sonics and other titles that were trying their best to be close to their handheld titles, PSP started off with a slew of PS2 ports or side games.  Same with the Vita.  So how am I wrong?
