What the f*** is the point of handheld consoles/portables?

[disillusioned]

-Not that many situations where the portability is even useful unless you travel all the time, which most people don't
-Shit battery life means it's useless for anything else but trivial trips
-Tiny screen
-Typically bad controls unless you buy some extra accessory
-Can't play laying down on your back (like in your bed for example) because gravity will just make the handheld impossible to control
-Have to be hunched over to play if sitting which results in horrid neck and shoulder pain after prolonged playing seasons Vs staring at a tv or PC monitor
-Shittier graphics compared to consoles and PC
-Some genres of games don't even play well because of the small screen
-Until only very recently no multiplayer or online

I just don't get it. What is the appeal of this shit?

Appeals to kids, young ones that is

A toy to regularly shut your kid up.

I notice it's usually niggers and single mothers that stuff a handheld in their kid's face.

They are ideal. If you’re going somewhere, you don’t even need to take the time to set the console up and can just switch it on and play right away whenever you want.

But how often does this even happen?

Then what was the point of the vacation?

Well, that wasn’t all I did.

because it's portable

The funny part is it appeals to most people in their late 20s (your age group) because usually they are nintendo cucks

Nintendo cucks don't even use the portability. They just like bragging they have Nintendo like anyone cares. Which I've never understood, it doesn't give status like Apple used to.

Nintendo fans are the biggest gaming cucks ever tbh. They think there is something magical about nintendo games that gives them a soul that the other ones don't. In reality Nintendo is just another soulless corporation making carefully crafted products. Zelda and Mario are just the nintendo versions of Mickey Mouse and Superman. Sure they USE to have a soul, but now they are just generic corporate mascots. While recently playing the last Mario game I could not help but laugh at how the voice actor for mario was obviously uninspired and simply saying his typical lines/mario grunts. There was way more soul in mario's voice during the N64 days but now it's just generic voice work for him.
