There's nothing "pathetic" about the "handheld crowd", but you love to throw in bullshit like that into your arguments. Only tech nerds think that way and poeple like that are a small minority of the market that talk a lot on message boards and then don't back up their bullshit by actually showing up to buy "tech showcase" games. 

Y'all talk a big game, but you don't show up for shit. 

If I'm a publisher I can't rely on no-shows like that, I have to make a game that supports a wide variety of hardware these days, it's the only reasonable way to make money when my budgets are going up by double, triple, etc. I'm not passing on like say the XBox Series S just to appease that lame duck audience. 

When i say. pathetic I'm talking about the hardware. You keep hating on people that like perfomance and graphics by calling them old farts yet you have wet dreams about powerful Nintendo hardware well guess what of course anyone that loves gaming and doesn't like playing on the go would love those things especially of they are gaming 20 hours a week.

I don't even agree with that characterization, it's like saying a car that can fly is pathetic because it isn't as large as a full sized aircraft ... well not shit, no one is going to say "it's not an airplane", they're going to say "holy shit, this car is flying". Traditionally in the past the idea of the relevant, popular portable platform of the day (say Game Boy or DS in the past) being able to run basically a direct version of the most popular 3rd party games was a pipe dream, but today that is becoming less and less the case.
