I can't vouch for the article itself, but I've always seen a device such as a 3DS or a VITA  as a handheld while several outlet have shared my view as well.

A handheld what?

Simply calling it a handheld doesn't make sense because the word handheld just describes something that you hold in your hand, it doesn't actually state what the product is.

The technical term would be handheld console or handheld gaming device. Handheld describes the form factor while console/gaming device states what the product is.

Actually, the word console doesn't necessarily indicate that something is a piece of gaming hardware, since there are other types of consoles.

A handheld is a handheld gaming machine, a console is a gaming console.

I've always counted them as seperate things, as do most gaming sites, and Metacritic themselves.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

In my honest opinion, if I did like Uncharted 4, but everything else didn't interest me much on PS4. However, next year I see a few ps4 games I would love to buy. U4 dlc, Horizon zero dawn and GT Sport (assuming it is good).

And its just going to keep getting better. Great time to be a PS gamer.

It's funny how all these things (Metascore, sales, number of games, etc.) were all used by the anti-Playstation camps to criticize Sony and PS3, last gen; Now that all of these are in PS4's favor, they've suddenly become irrelevant to those same groups. Funny how that works...

Great to see PS4 doing such an awesome job. My favorite console this gown, by far. Can't wait to play what Sony has coming our way.

Bullshit. Look no further than that "Facts vs Fanboys" pic that is still being used to this day on this site. 

 

"Only retail exclusives with a metacritic score of 75%, blah, blah, blah". It's always been used in PlayStation's favor and it's always been relevant. Nobody can talk down about the quality of the PS4 library. They can only speak about personal preferences. It's crazy how PS fans have virtually every advantage--from sales to games to hardware power to VR and still somehow try to sound victimized.

The PS3 library was glorious, no one could touch it in the last few years of the last gen battles... but yeah the PS4 over the next 12 months could start to be in a position to beat it... its looking great.

You wanna know the honest answer? Schadenfraude. 

PS fans were shat on pretty much all last gen, with the "terrible" PS3 launch (even though it sold more than 360, launch aligned), multiplatform games performing worse on PS3, losing exclusives left and right, former exclusives going Xbox exclusive (like Ace Combat), and more. 

Then, this generation came and every criteria that got the PS3 shat on is happening to the XBOne. I certainly reveled in it for a bit (but, I have an XBOne now and don't really care anymore), but to see all those things "not matter" anymore to those same people, now that it applies to their console of choice was fun to gawk at. Even more so because a lot of people, apparently, have short term memory problems and don't remember how much things like "superior multiplats" was trumpeted by the Xbox crowd, until the PS4 had games with better resolutions and frame rates. As someone who remembers it vividly from last gen, it's was entertaining to have a  "how's it feel?" mentality and the only response was dissonance and "I don't know what you're talking about. We weren't like that last gen". Oh, yes you were!

But as I've pointed out in another post, this might be a better option of naming devices.  But the context here was why the 3DS wasn't included regardless of how you want to label the device.

We're all hypocrites.

I had a long elaborate response typed up full of examples but my wife distracted me and I'm not sure it made sense. But yeah. We're all hypocrites and, at some point, we all want to be the underdog and victim.
