“Handheld gaming is the future!”
Meanwhile Nintendo alone has already sold 132 million Switches in the past. Not to mention every other handheld that’s sold like gangbusters in the past.
What a stupid ass story
There's always been a big gap between the games playable on portable vs non-portable devices. The switch was a big jump forward to making true current Gen games portable, but outside of Nintendo's offerings it's still rare for new releases to have a comparable switch port.
We're currently in new territory imo where most new games (outside of some really terribly optimized ones) are truly playable on portable devices.
