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.
