Is Portable Gaming Dead?

Is Portable Gaming Dead?
I know the Switch is "portable" but honestly who the fuck is taking this clunky piece of shit that can't even fit in a pocket on a road trip

that is the worst control layout I've ever seen.

seems like it

Kind of. Minecraft and Fortnite being massively popular for mobile around the time the 3DS retired kind of ensured the end of portable game systems. Only way I can see it coming back is if Nintendo wants to go back to 2 types of consoles in their next few generations or Sony somehow decides there’s value in a smartphone that can play exclusives on and has the psn integrated into it.

It's not as mobile has completely replaced it, but it is in the way you remember.

I don't have a single game on mobile though as I keep it for work and need my battery high as long as possible. I take my switch of I want to game. I've had a Disgaea 5 run I've been working on for about two years when I vacation at a friend's lake house.

>he thinks portable necessarily means going on road trips
wew

I have a couple of times actually. It's fun on camping trips.

your post has so many problems but honestly yeah portable gaming is kinda dead and most people using a switch in handheld mode usually don't even use it outside

>portable gaming is kinda dead
except it's not.

Thats how xbox does it....

i can fit my regular switch into my pocket just fine dunno what you're talking about

Why does Switch make Zig Forums seethe so much? How many bullshit narratives can you people come up with?

Playing Genshin on my phone is the best portable gaming ever has been honestly. Just needs controller support.

exactly

switch feels like shit to hold as a handheld the sticks feel terrible and feeble.

Sweatpants dont count

console wars rot the brain

OP is a fag

it fits perfectly in my pockets. but I'm an adult. which means I probably shouldn't be playing child toys anyway. but yeah.

girl pockets confirmed

laborfags of the world unite

Both switch and switch lite are perfectly portable, full sized switch fits in any not shit pocket if you remove the joycons and put them in another pocket
You aren't a pocketlet are you user?

I never understood the fact that people wanted to take games to places other than their living room or bedroom.
I have a Switch but every time I go out and I know I will need to spend some idle time, I take my Kindle with me, because I just can't play video games without being in a private place where I can forget about the world.
Reading an ebook is something that is easy to do anywhere, I can stop reading and pay attention in the real world without it being something that will ruin my experience as it would happen in a game.

Why does Zig Forums seethe about Sony so much? Because they make consoles their identity and then turn around and make fun of consoomers Zig Forums isn't one person. But if you contribute in a console war, you can't call people consoomers because you yourself are one

Who needs a handheld? You have a smartphone, right? Grab some cheap gamepad, install emulators, download some roms... that's all you need.
