Message: [QUOTE="CaptainToad, post: 178257, member: 12933"] The original models for Vita and 3DS just *barely* fit inside a pocket. I tried playing a 3DS XL on a bus and found it difficult to pocket it in either my jacket or jeans. The Vita had the analog sticks sticking out that beg to get ripped off. Would be nice to see a portable that's actually portable with a decent battery life (maybe even come with multiple swappable battery packs). DS and GBA were pretty good for portability. PSP was OK for it, but the PSP GO was the only convenient one since the UMD drive kinda' sucked and the smaller size finally made it pocketable. The idea that every device is so big and expensive now that you need a carrying case for it is crazy. Switch kinda' fucked portable gaming pretty hard since everyone wants it to be a portable home console and not a hybrid console with limitations. If Sony does a portable it'll be a similar Steam Deck/Switch thing instead of an actual portable with specifications that smaller developers find appealing. Portable gaming seems to be the domain of retro emulation devices for the time being. And even those you see are expanding in size and power (consumption), following the same trend. [/QUOTE]
