99% of my play is docked and I don’t like that half the cost of my console went into making it portable rather than faster.

I hardly use it docked and I hate that half the cost of my console went into making it faster and not more portable /s

The portability is the whole reason it has games for it.

Another low powered home console wouldn't have sold anywhere near enough to justify ports or exclusive games. The entire interest cycle in the console was exclusively a product of being a handheld that could play expansive games.
