Nice to see Barca players know how to relax.

The funny thing is it was often argued about NS' portability but it's that element and how it's executed that is causing a lot of appeal.

It's still a question how many that are used to playing on smaller devices would adapt to the NS in the same environment. On crowded trains in Japan in for example.
What you're looking at here is a private jet for these players, with luggage and all the room and comfort they could want.

If you're at the backseat of your family's car, no problem. If you're packed up against a hundred people in the 7 AM Yamanote Line on the way to school or work, with limited space in your bag/pockets and maybe only have one hand free, then size and ergonomy becomes a much bigger concern.

Going by sales in Japan it seems many people are migrating over which indicates the ergonmics was never really much of a problem for them, under the scenario you're using as an example even a smaller device wouldn't be feasible in the situation in fact no device would. NS' portability is not as much of an issue because it's smaller than an iPad so any place a small tablet is feasible it can be used, ironically Polygon of all people explained the situation quite clearly in what's happening with the NS.
