Exactly, handheld consoles are hardly a new experience - nor is multiplayer for that matter

I think what the switch did best was having hardware that more or less works given the diminishing returns we're seeing in the processor space these days. It was the first time that a handheld could competently compete with a home console, and could merge the two into one. The Vita got close, but it wasn't there due to the hardware differential.

Exactly, so its not much more than they got lucky + theyre big enough to force developers to optimize aggressively for their hardware, hardly anything new there
