just curious, where do you find time to play handheld gaming when outside of the house?

typically when im not home im doing things that dont allow me to game like driving, working, running errands, shopping, outdoor activities, or im with other people.

Alot of people take trains/buses rather than drive themselves. That's a pretty good time for a handheld console, especially if it's a long journey.

And some lucky people are even able to play games at work (or at least they think they can )

How many times do you really see people playing a 3DS or PSVita in a public scene, most people play them at home, sometimes children play them in the car. I have see people use them in the airplane, and on vacation but overall if you are not living in an Asian country, the chances are slim, most people play on their phones!

And people decide what people do, when your friends play a game on their phone, others will also do it, etc... etc... and if the rumours are true the size/battery life and the fact you have detatchable controllers (clunky) making it an even harder sell as a dedicated portable.

This really seems like its made to do everything everywhere but doesn't really focus enough on home console or portable to really shine in either department, lets hope the rumours are only part of the story, they need to make a good product. I want to fall in love with a Nintendo console, its been a while (Gamecube).
