Handhelds have become home to the middleground that got wiped out on home consoles due to piss poor visions of console manufacturers and third parties alike. So if you want games that are neither overengineered (and focus-tested to hell and back) nor underdeveloped, handhelds are the place to look.

It sounds like you're describing indie games. 

No, he's not. He's describing the B-Tier that was a staple in previous generations of gaming. He's also actually absolutely spot on.

They're the middle ground between indies and AAA games, they have a bigger budget for more technically accomplished titles, but the budget is also not such a gamble, that they can afford to take gambles on new gameplay concepts etc.
