Research done by the NPD has revealed that 79 percent of iPhone, PSP, and DS owners use the handhelds at home more so than out of the house. The research has also shown that people are playing on handhelds more now than they were three months ago.
The NPD broke down
some stats to Edge showing which features of the portable devices are being used most. Most notably is the increase of iPhone owners playing games in the last three months, which makes sense as some decent games have come out on the iPhone lately.
The only time I ever take my DS out of the house is when I’m going to the airport. Otherwise, I’m much more comfortable playing my DS in bed. How about you, Dtoiders? Do you use your handhelds more often at home or on the go?

They're watching one of those Japanese porns they have available on UMD obviously.
I use my DS on the toilet almost exclusively. I do take it with me when I travel as it's a good time killer, but when I get to my destination, it rarely gets pulled out. Mostly for the airport and buses/trains.
You think it's hilarious?!?!?!
The guy in the pic looks like he's gonna rape the PSP, then the woman.
But,yeah, I'm wondering what on earth she's playing, the only thing I know worth spending time on the psp is homebrew

I'd be more likely to read while in transit though.
books don't run out of battery power.
I want a DS for Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest IV, Dragon Quest V, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, The World Ends With You, Legend of Kage 2, Contra 4, Drawn to Life, Lock's Quest, Metal Slug 7, the DS Castlevania series, the DS Kirby series....
Okay I need to just stop thinking about it or I'm going to end up broke.
And my DS lays next to me in bed. The glow helps me sleep at night.
I don't think I have ever played either of them outside. I do not want them stolen.
I'm happy portables are doing well, even the PSP. I bring my DS to work every day. My hour session of gaming makes the day bearable. To me, its where all the real Nintendo games are these days.
I play at home, at the doctors office, I play in line at the post office, I play at home, I play at the movies during the trashy previews I've seen 80 times, I play while watching football and MMA. Dead time = fun time.

Also when I'm crapping, although my legs sometimes go nu-.. Too much information.
After 2007 - 100% of my DS play time spent on toilet.
is a very useful and informative article indeed. It really help me to enhance my knowledge about different part of speech and understand these. I hope to see more articles in future.
