you'd think with phone advancements, the lines will eventually blur
Yep. I'd love to have new games made for portable gaming, but mobile has trained everyone (myself included) to want to pay as little as possible for those, even if they're full-fledged games and not touchscreen timekillers that you can play with one thumb. And nobody is going to go back making dedicated versions of Uncharted, Tekken or Wipeout for handhelds when you can have the much cooler version on your huge TV. There was a time when handheld Street Fighter was a godsend. Now people would laugh at the concept.
The one where we desperately trying to have another stealth vita thread.
no i never did pal doctor says i will getting better
TV games on a 5.5 inch screen. Amazing portable experience.
Oh wow, what a groundbreaking observation! You mean to tell us that a dedicated handheld gaming console has a smaller screen than a TV? Shocking
The DS nearly sold double what the PSP did. PSP also struggled to move software due to piracy. I'd consider that to be an overwhelming victory.
It should imo. Phones nowadays are a ton more powerful than the switch and are even getting AAA ports.
Tell my you have never played on a proper handheld console without telling me you have never played on a proper handheld console.
You have no clue what I played on lol
PSP struggled because of the hardware and media choice Sony made. Later PSP models fixed some of the issues like the screen & battery capacity but my launch PSP had a fucking horrible screen with nasty ghosting so games like loco roco looked like a smeary mess. The battery life was shit too thanks to Sony's genius idea of including a umd drive that sucked the battery dry. The disks themselves were also flawed, slow as hell load times a stupid open window on the disk so dirt could get into the disks even though Sony already had umds that had sliding shutters to protect them like minidisks but decided they would leave them off to save money. The only reason I keep mine around is it holds 3 of the 4 bokunatsu games or I'd have ditched it years ago.
Absolutely not. Further proof you have no idea at all on the topic.
Eh, most of that could be considered as worthy concessions to launch such a powerful device at $249.99 in '04/'05. No, the real reason was the piracy. PSP was being hacked from day one (1.0 versions could run unsigned code lol) and all Sony could do was delay the inevitable with frequent patches. For kids at the time (like me), that barely made an impact considering they wouldn't have the technical knowhow to hack their PSPs. But because of the older demographic that PSP targeted, it meant that a lot of owners were hacking their systems and were pirating games.
so now it's a "lack of common sense" to enjoy a handheld console as it was designed? Funny, because millions of people seem to have no issue playing games on the Switch Lite comfortably
He's just a dumb fucking gatekeeper
Are you talking about sales? Why would I care how many units the Steam deck or the Nintendo portable sells? It does not affect me in any way.
Uh, no?

explained exactly the reason and you totally ignore it, and resort to an aggressive answer.
