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.

My comment was at least 75% a joke anyway, picked up my old gamebrick from the teacher after school on well more than one occasion and never suffered for it socially.  Of course I was also an awkard, towering beast of a child too bullheaded to pick up on (or care about) the most basic of social cues so I'm probably not the best gauge anyway.
