    Nah, the advantage of these over a phone is that you can play actually good games on these.

    Mobile games sucks.

    I think playing shooter games like cyberpunk with a controller is annoying but there are a ton of amazing non shooter games that I can play on the train on my way to work. Currently I am actually playing emulated switch games, but I have a few AAA on there as well and lots of indie.

      I don’t think I would like to play a big title on a small screen, that would be like watching Dune on your phone. But for smaller Indies it actually could make sense, like puzzle games. But I guess I’ll stick to my PC.

        I think it’s the convenience and portability that most people like, including me. They don’t have to be played in handheld mode. They can be connected to a monitor and optionally even support external gpus. That’s how I play big titles, docked, with an egpu and a monitor. But when I need to, I can just take the device with me to play smaller titles like sea of stars and mass effect legendary edition on the go
