Handheld Consoles always felt like a compomised experience before the Nintendo Switch.

This guy actually used his Vita as his cell phone. For years. Willingly.

You're wasting you're time trying to argue with Kevyn about it. He's convinced that his extremely narrow perspective would actually be incredibly popular if only more people embraced it more because reasons. He doesn't understand that he's probably one of 200-300 people in the world that really wants this. Heck, he's still heckling Sony on twitter for updates on the PS4's web browser when I'd say over 90% of PS4 owners don't even realize or care that it has one.

Oh I've been aware of that for a few years now. It just gets grating to hear the same  niche pipe dream over and over again.

I just find his dream to be one that isn't shared by billions on this planet, and those that do share it are in the minority and want to simple do over the majority for their own personal gains.

 

Gaming systems were always meant to be just for gaming. They were never designed to become something he wants but clearly hates to use (the PC/laptop).

I have no interest in PC or Smartphones going away. For the people that want them they are great.

In the home space I am content. PS4 and XBO can take care of anything I need from a home computing platform.

In the mobile space I don't even have an option. I have to have a worthless device to make calls and texts. All I am asking is that I have the option to use my handheld to do these simple tasks. I don't care if it comes from Apple, Samsung, Nintndo, Micosoft, or Sony, I would just like a mobile option where I can play games like Fortnight or Pubg with console quality controls.

Consoles have not been pure gaming devices for over two decades. Ken Kutaragi envisioned the PlayStation as the hub of our digital lives. I have been buying into that dream since 1999. PlayStation was supposed to be iOS/Android years before they even started, but Sony's higher ups did not build on Ken's vision.
