To play PC games on the go. Independent of external displays like TV or monitors. Independant of a table with enough space for your laptop (and preferably also a mouse or gamepad). Independant of a power supply for hours (better battery life than most laptops while playing games). Independent of your seating/standing/laying position... the display is always in front of you. The same comfort handheld consoles are giving.
Besides the pocketablility (which Swtch OLED and the original Switch also don't have) it is a great mobile device. Better ergonomics than any handheld I had before, good weight distribution, plenty of input options with easily adjustable stick/button-mapping, great performance for its size, awesome performance per watt especially in the TDP range from 3 - 10 watts, 40 fps/40Hz as option to 30 and 60 fps, very good user interface for a handheld, minimal power draw in sleep mode... |
As I said: I deem 3DS superior in portability to Switch, which I think is already pretty bad in that regard. And I don't know how you all travel, but in trains, airplanes, buses I usually have not too much space to play. I am not even always have a seat, so have to lean against a wallor something. Being able to hold it in one hand at times or quickly fold it closed if needed and as quick make it ready again is a pretty big advantage of the 3DS.
