Home or Handheld consoles?

PS4/XBONE/Wii U 51 70.83%
 
PSV/3DS 21 29.17%

They both have their benefits. I travel around a lot, so it's nice not having to haul a home console around when I wanna play something when I'm away. When I'm home, it depends on my mood, basically if I wanna sit and play something for a while or if I'm multi-tasking.

For the past few years though, handhelds have impressed me far more software-wise...so I guess I've been playing them more out of necessity. :P

Home consoles. Handhelds just can't do some of the things home consoles can.

I prefer home consoles. Usually too busy driving...when I'm in a vehicle to care about handhelds.

Casual.

*shrug* I'm really not concerned with other peoples opinions.



I dont see a reason why i should own a handheld if i can use my smartphone, and having 2 devices at ounce is too much for me to carry.



Impossible to choose.

My 3G Vita is with me 24/7 for phone calls, emails, text messaging, gaming, and whatever else I need to do throughout the day (including this post while I watch the WWE Hall of Fame on my PS4).

When I get home my first action is to turn on the PS4. Then I dive deeper into larger news articles, pay bills, and catch up on everything I didn't have time for during the day.

Both systems are essential for experiening the absolute best gaming experience whether I am at home or on the go. Thanks to Remote Play and PlayStation Now I never have to stop playing the best games on the market as long as I have a Wifi connection.

So whether its gaming, work, finances, or anything else consoles and handhelds are equally important to me, and the only two devices that I consider absolutely essential to everyday life.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Tough choice. You can't replace the comfort and AAA experiences you get on a home console. The thing is, I've had way more fun on 3ds and Vita this past couple years than consoles. They've just been more consistent overall.

Handhelds for me.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P

You took that way more seriously than it was supposed to be taken.

I know, I'm tired :P  Figured you were, but couldn't come up with something amusing to say.  I know, I suck the fun out of everything.

Because on your smartphone you can not play game's like Bravely Default, Fire Emblend Aweking, Zelda, Uncharted, Teraway, Fredoom Wars ecc...
