    I’m still shocked there’s no handheld Xbox or PlayStation models.

    Playstation left the handheld market, that should basically say everything that needs to be said.

      A while ago. And only after a string of unforced errors.

          Again, they’re gonna do fine with that… thing. They almost can’t lose money. The markup must be tremendous, it has zero ongoing support cost, and it doesn’t dilute or split their brand in any way. People keep comparing it to the Wii U. Nah: it’s like the Wavebird. If it bombs, who’d care? It still works as-advertised for anyone who bought it. Anyone who didn’t buy it won’t notice it missing. It doesn’t have to be the future! to make a bit of money and give some customers a mildly desirable feature.
