Modern handheld gaming has long been dominated by the competition between Nintendo and Sony. Each manufacturer offers multiple viable devices, either directly or evolved from their respective DS and PlayStation Portable product lines. These multifunctional devices encourage on-the-go gameplay, internet integration, and backwards compatibility, though they differ in their approaches. Thoroughly examining the key features, available options, accessories, and potential limitations of each handheld is the best way to determine the optimal choice for a player.

The wireless revolution in personal electronics has made online functionality and internet connectivity a major focus in handheld gaming. Every console has an online platform, whether built specifically for it or adapted to suit the needs of online players. By utilizing these portals, players can significantly expand their chosen platform's potential, maximize gaming enjoyment, and increase the overall entertainment value of their devices.
