Consoles being reviewed and revised to be smaller = less materials for construction and therefore it becomes cheaper to produce, not to mention that space in entertainment systems is at a premium for most people so the smaller the better!

Handhelds tend to follow the trend of other portable items and bigger = better as it stands at the moment (in terms of screen size and resolution)

I also forgot one point... HH becoming bigger makes it a little harder to carry over discretly...

Just think it is funny that we go the oposite side.

Yeah I know what you mean! It will come back full circle soon enough and be reducing in size again... Then again HH gaming is going the way of the dodo at least in terms of dedicated devices... I wouldn't be surprised if Sony never release another HH and if Nintendo shift focus, albeit grudgingly, to mobile gaming on smartphones!
