PS vita. Powerful handheld. Dual analog sticks. Great hardware. Lots of good games but it could never compete with the smart phones. 3DS didn't do too well either as compared to DS. I don't think we'll see a dedicated handheld gaming device any time soon. I'm sad because I don't really enjoy playing games on my mobile phone.
- MegaButts 8y ago> I don't think we'll see a dedicated handheld gaming device any time soon. What about the Nintendo Switch?
- geddy 8y agoIt’s not a dedicated, it’s a hybrid.
- taurath 8y agoIt could absolutely get smaller in the next gen - I think to keep it cheap, relatively powerful and have acceptable battery life is the main reasons it’s as large as it is.
- AsyncAwait 8y agoI use mine 90% handheld and it works wonderfully as a portable console. There's nothing hybrid about the portable experience, it's just an extra option that you can safely ignore. There's also rumors of a Switch Mini coming.
- Nition 8y agoI think the earlier comment is just saying that it's not a dedicated handheld in the sense that you can only use something as a handheld. A major feature is that it can do more than just be a handheld device.
- Xelbair 8y agoIt dosen't compare to vita. size of Vita is more comfortable for portable gaming, and it is way more comfortable to play than Switch(controller ergonomics aren't great in Switch).
- jamesrcole 8y ago> 3DS didn't do too well either as compared to DS. It sold about half as many, but it still did very well. It's the 11th best selling video game system of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_cons...
