Generally speaking, do you prefer consoles or handheld for gaming and why?
Myself, I find myself opting for the handheld more and more lately. I appreciate being able to get up and walk around with the device, take it wherever I'm going, and find the most comfortable position in which to game even in my own home, or to multitask and play while cooking or whatever. Playing for a few minutes here and there, putting it to sleep, and picking it up and instantly playing from where I left off, playing in bed, stretched out on the couch, or upon the porcelain throne, it's just so convenient. I'm also preferring the types of games that come out on handheld. JRPGs and VNs seem to have gravitated towards handhelds, so that's where I've gravitated as well.
Overall, I've been playing my Vita and 3DS lately much more than my PS3 and Wii U.

Consoles, because I don't take handhelds with me on commutes. I play handhelds in the same place as my consoles, and will therefore often neglect my handhelds in favor of a console game.
I'm much more of a console gamer. I play games at home 90% of the time, even on my 3DS, so the portability isn't really something I'm terribly interested in. I'd much rather have the option to play on my big flatscreen.
No, no, I'll be serious now.
In all honesty I've been a "HandheldGuru" forever. And while Fallout 3 has me addicting to my PS3, I think I'll always be a handheld person There is just something grand about curling up with a handheld, plugging in the headphones and being teleported into a (smallish ) world all on your own. Now if Nintendo would bring me some faceplates...and SquareEnix gave me DQVII, I could die a happy handheld gamer.

There's something I like about a games machine having its own screen, especially as HDTVs generally have more issues displaying games than SDTVs did (motion blur etc).
As handhelds get better controls and better graphics, I'd rather just take a slightly lower resolution and play everything on handheld rather than console.
