That’s interesting- I seem to be developing a bit of nearsightedness so stuff on the tv can occasionally be less clear to me than on a handheld screen. But that’s not the main reason I prefer handheld gaming. Always have really, but sitting down to play something on the tv especially feels like kind of a hassle when you’re older. And then there’s other people who might want to use the tv, like roommates back in the day or family nowadays. Just turning on a handheld & playing, the same way one would open up a book and start reading, always felt best to me. The smaller scale games on the game boy and DS lines always appealed to me more than big fancy console games too, though now with the hybrid systems you can get the best of both worlds.
