Where do you mostly play your PSP / DS / 3DS? At home or on-the-go?

I've been reading a lot of people saying how handhelds are mainly used for on-the-go purposes. I disagree with this. I almost never used my DS / PSP on the go. If I was on the go, I probably wouldn't even be interested in gaming. I used my devices mainly at home. Many people differ from me because they feel that consoles can offer a superior experience at home.

I personally find handheld gaming to be just as satisfying as consoles, if not more, due to the flexibility offered with handhelds. I don't have to stay in a fixed room when playing my PSP / DS. I could go to the bathroom, living room, dining room etc without interrupting my game.

Handheld gaming can even be more confortable than consoles IMO. I could play a handheld much longer than a console due to the fact that I don't need to face one direction sitting in the same spot. I can stand up, lay down, roll over, walk around, get in the bed, etc without any interruption.The ability to play on the go is just a bonus. It's not my primary function.

Also, I know a lot of people who say handhelds are incapable of offering experiences as rich/deep as consoles. While this is true most of the time, there are plenty of handheld games out there that offer experiences as deep as consoles. People just need to find the right games.

What about you? When playing handhelds, are you mainly on the go, or are at home.

To me it's pretty much 50-50. I play my 3DS and PSP a lot while on breaks on my Master's degree work or when I have a particulary long period of waiting for results, but I also play a lot at home before I go to bed.

Can't decide where to vote, poll should have an extra option

on the go.. play some on the train, during lunchbreak, while riding my gf...

Can't decide where to vote, poll should have an extra option No, I wanted a conclusive answer. I don't want any whishy-washy characters participating in my poll.

A 50-50 option is also a conclusive answer to me, since I literally spend a similar amount of time in both cases. Polls should account for all possibilities.

I have a PSP GO I mostly used it on the go.

While commuting I would play games on the train and use it as an mp3 player as I walked from the train station to work. I also connected it to TVs at cottages or while travelling and playing movies / TV shows that I loaded onto it.

I rarely played games on PSP at home since it had to compete with PC, Wii and PS3 games, which were games I could ONLY play at home.

If I included a 50-50 option, then it would have a received a large amount of votes, overshadowing the two votes I'm really interested in seeing.

I see. I'll give some thought to what answer I should pick then.

At the moment more indoors, but usually more on the go
