In my opinion dedicated gaming handhelds are dead and they should be dead. 3DS is selling only on the back of a strong exclusive lineup and only got that lineup because of strong sales while smartphones were not as prevalent and powerful as they are now.

That's why Nintendo is doing a hybrid. Because doing them separate would mean miserable sales for both, so they combine them. A sad move for console gamers but a smart move for Nintendo.

Also, no one gives a shit about PSNow on mobile. Hell, no one gives a shit about PSNow on anything currently.

I see and accept the argument about handhelds being dead. I mean in the light of everyone owning a flashy and smooth smartphone, a handheld gaming console looks archaic lol

And yet, what about controls? Controls are very important for any gamer, and a smartphone's touch controls just don't feel good with almost any games that core gamers like. Therefore there must still be a market for handhelds.
