A lot of people have talked about the console wars, but people leave out one little system when it comes to the handheld. Netbook PC's. I know what you're thinking: "Dragonsoil, you twit, A netbook has no place in a console war." As far as I'm concerned, as long as Microsoft are in the gaming industry, any object that carries their name and can be used on the go can be considered as a "handheld console." Let's look at a few points here: 1: They are good for playing casual games (popcap in particular) and 2d pc games quite well. 2: Some Steam/Valve games can be played, though at low settings. 3: Freeware is being devoloped by independent companies all the time in regards to games, so gaming potential is nearly limitless. Obviously, this is not consided a console, but damn it if you think that something that can play decent games should be in a gaming console list. Place your vote for PSP, DS or Netbook now!
Well my netbook has Nvidia Ion (dual core atom + Nvidia 9400m)so its no push over for a netbook. But If anything I think tablets vs psp vs DS would make more sense.
