PC > Handheld > Console

I've been losing interest in home consoles for a while honestly, but 8th gen has shown me how little I care anymore.

This is perfection my friend, once I held this with the grip in my hands there was no going back.......I was in love...

Which grip is this? Or more specificially, which grip is it you use that you recommend? It doesn't look like the Nyko one and I would be interested in a decent grip for the longer game sessions where I'm using analogue sticks a lot, just for some added support.

I'm not sure on the brand, but they were selling them at eb games in NZ, So I imagine Games stop would sell them. This is the best design though of the ones I held. There is another one but the grips aren't as long which make it less comfy.

Home consoles. No matter what handheld i either currently have or have had in the past, i only play them occasionally.

3DS + GOG (good old games) on PC for me.

I prefur handhelds, I tend to find it a lot easier to get submerged in a handheld game.
However, console DOES have more good games than handheld, so it is naturally the consoles i spend more time on.

Because of work and the lack of time being to stay at home, I have to choose Handhelds.

Does surely look more comfortable to hold/use! :D

This is a bit off-topic, but I know it's possible to "stream" games from the PS3/PS4 to PSP/Vita, but is it possible to do it the other way around? Play a PSP/Vita game on the PS3 or PS4?


Nah it only works from console to handheld as far as im aware.


Em, what about vitaTV?

Home consoles all the way.

I really don't like handheld gaming at all, the controllers are always inferior to home consoles and I think it just feels uncomfortable. The screens are very small and the resolution/graphics are always lagging generations behind. For me playing on a 3DS, DS, PSP or Vita is just a slightly better experience than smartphones. And I would perhaps even go as far to say that smartphone + an accessory like iPega or something is better than any handheld console. Speaking of comfort.

If a handheld were as big as a normal controller it would feel much better to play on it, but then it would be too big to carry around.

The only handheld system that I have ever bought was a PSP, because of boredom at work.

My vote, to no surprise, went with home consoles.

I am on the brink of getting a Vita, THIS might tip me over. I would love Vita TV also cause I really do not like to wear glasses, and I no longer can see that close whitout them.
