    Handhelds are severely power limited, even if they get really good there will always be a desktop/console version of the hardware with better performance

      Handhelds are very performant. They achieve high enough framerates with a low power demand. They sacrifice fidelity. Something which most people are happy to exchange for the portability.

      They are far too convenient. Considering the price for a “medium long termn” game pc, the cost of energy, the lack of portability ecc. Is clearly more convenient to have a console and a medium spec Desk/pc portable for work. Ofk you sacrifice graphic quality but to be honest i already played most of my games in 1080p on my old desktop. With the console and a “dock” solution you end up playing the same kind of game on your monitor and you also have the full portability. OFK with an AAA game your battery run out quickly but any casual Indi game runs for hour and 99% of them are perfect to play on small screen.
