i have very distinguished needs. :roll: i like to play the console frequently, especially weekend mornings and some evenings. i use my handheld while watching tv and crap is on, and every night in bed i either play the DS or the micro...currently since smokes mario thread - i have SMB loaded in and am playing it again.
i enjoy the quality of the console alot, but handheld quality has come along way. so my time is kind of split, although there ain't nothing quite like killing some crimson heads in REmake on a handheld yet.
i like both, depending on what I'm doing. Portable if I'm on a trip, but console if i have nothing to do at home.nightclaw
What he said.
i recently decided on portable because i tend to play by myself anyway. the portables give me more privacy in this sense.
That's an interesting point.... I can see what you mean by handhelds being more private. People tend to just ignore the fact that you are playing a game when they see you using a handheld because they can't really watch, however consoles are more social oriented. I guess you could probably judge what kind of gaming a person likes by their personality if that is the case.i recently decided on portable because i tend to play by myself anyway. the portables give me more privacy in this sense.

I feel that the only issue with handhelds is the size of the screen. Other then that, both are very different so I like them equally what they are.lebanese_boy
Heh, well I think they are just right because otherwise the system could get kinda clunky. :P
I hope the DS satisfies your screen problem? ;)Â

Well most of the time it's ok, I rarely have that sort of problem. Plus I own a PSP, now that's a screen ![QUOTE="ihateelvis"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"]I feel that the only issue with handhelds is the size of the screen.

The cool thing I find with the DS' double screens is that it's an effective way to display a lot of information, especially information that is quite different in nature. :PÂ

What I like about the DS is that it gets more original games and that's what differs handhelds from consoles (see rev I'm getting back on topic :D), while the PSP feels more like a portable home console (which I don't necesseraly hate because I'd like to home console games to be portable). But in overall, the thing that differs Handheld games to console games is that the handheld one are shorter and more faster and this suits well Handhelds.[QUOTE="ihateelvis"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"][QUOTE="ihateelvis"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"]I feel that the only issue with handhelds is the size of the screen.

Portable's I find to be much more approachable, I can pick up and play a game anytime I want to, and I don't have to worry about load times, which is why I actually prefer cartridges.[QUOTE="lebanese_boy"][QUOTE="ihateelvis"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"][QUOTE="ihateelvis"][QUOTE="lebanese_boy"]I feel that the only issue with handhelds is the size of the screen.
