Product Description
Modern handheld gaming has long been dominated by Nintendo and Sony. Each hardware manufacturer has
multiple viable offerings derived either directly, or evolving from the respective DS and PlayStation Portable
product lines. All of these devices are impressive multifunctional devices, with designs meant to encourage
gameplay on the go, integration with the Internet, backwards compatibility to previous games, and so on, but
each goes about this in different ways. Taking a few minutes to examine the main features, and getting more
familiar with available options, accessories and possible limitations of each handheld is the optimal way to
determine which is the best choice for a player.
