That may be how it works in Japan, but in the West playing handhelds in public is punishable by permanent social ostracization.

It's not really a regional thing, its just a "time passing" sort of thing, in the late 80s, early 90s anyone with a handheld console in school was a kid magnet, was the same in the US, UK and Japan, all of which i spent time in as a kid.
