I dont understand the appeal of console gaming in the living room... :-p

Anyway, I always preferred laptops and handhelds because its so pratical to carry your gaming gear and play anywhere, with anyone, without needing to hog the tv or be a slave to your chair/couch... Me and Luiza even game on the bed on rainy days, either multiplayer, or each with a different game.

And handhelds these days are just a step behind consoles anyway (iphone 4/ipad/andriod games) are even looking better than the Wii, so there,s no reason to get a console except for the odd exclusive

It is only matter of time where you can get a "full console game" on a portable device :) someday. It will be awesome!

These God damn "handheld" gaming systems are too friggin small. Even when using a friend's DSXL I get all gnarled claw handed after 20 minutes.

Where have you been? Handhelds are now to the level of being better than last-gen, and even some ccurrent-gen consoles.

"Full console" titles like PS1 games are avaliable on PSP, with the PSP itself having PS2-quality games (and with Ghost of Sparta, near PS3-quality), and several PSP titles beat the PS2 in terms of graphics and lenght (the two Syphon Filters, Kingdom Hearts and Resistance put PS2 games to shame, for example).

The iPad pushes better graphics and resolution than a "full console" from Nintendo (the Wii) and even has better version of games (Need for Speed, Brothers in Rams, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia and Dead Space games play and look better on the iPad).

Seeing handheld screens are smaller and push more pixels per inch than tv displays, one can have an equal/or better experience with handhelds, and enjoy "full console games" anywhere, anytime, with wi-fi/online multiplayer even in a bathroom, bus or train.

That's why I loved my PSP so much, if I ever felt like I didn't want to see the small screen I would just component hook it up to my TV and it became a regular "controller".

Not to mention Dragonquest IX on the DS easily put all JRPGS that came out in current-gen consoles to shame.

Ah, one of the many times that my small hands are an advantage. I've never had a problem with handhelds being too small.
