If video games were relegated to being played only at home and arcades then handheld games more than likely wouldn' t exist
That' s the appeal of handheld gaming devices, they' re designed for the on-the-go experience.. While I enjoy playing games at home and at arcades, those long bus rides to work and home, the ferry rides, the train rides, plane rides, Greyhound bus rides, All of those things are SO much easier with a handheld gaming device and all of those are examples of on-the-go gaming. That' s not counting the long wait you may have to endure when visiting certain places. Having a portable entertainment system makes it all the less painful ;).
Plus if you' re really into a game but have to leave, with handhelds you can continue enjoying the game out of the house, consoles on the other hand, you have to endure the long, grueling wait before you can return home and continue where you left off before having to leave.
