Handheld gaming is the future - The Verge Podcast

This is primarily a podcast, but there is a short article with it. Also worth noting, this podcast came out before the Steam Deck OLED was announced, although it's possible the participants knew of its existence considering they had an early review unit.

Have they though, other than Nintendo. If the PS Vita was making Sony so much money, why no successor? As far I know, the Steam Deck is the only successful non-Nintendo handheld ever.
PS Vita should have had a successor man, it was such a beast of a hand held for it's time. It's true fault was being against the Nintendo 3DS (and also Sony's dumbass proprietary memory card prices for it). I pulled mine out a few months ago to play Hotline Miami.
Being against the 3ds wasnt a fault, it was initially an opportunity (the launch 3ds sold terribly, that nintendo had to apologize and give early adopters the early ambassador titles for free). Sony chose to willingly not capitalize on it.
There's phones, which have been fairly successful as gaming platforms. Nintendo has ignored that market for now. At least I think so,, I'm not really up to date on the console front.
Yeah that's fair. Pokemon Go was Nintendo and I think they have some other mobile games, idk phone gaming isn't really my thing.
Oh, I'd completely forgotten about that.
I don't really do phone games either. The deck is the farthest I've been from proper PC gaming. I'm not very multiplatform... :/
