>They made it bigger
I've heard people argue before, and I didn't quite believe it, but I'm starting to. Gaming is not for children anymore. They're not focusing on making games or consoles for children. The entire market is focusing solely on adults.
Kids can cope with a smaller screen because they're holding it closer to their face anyway, since they're, you know, small kids. But adults need bigger screens, bigger surfaces to grasp, etc.

Also, adults have so much more money, so I don't blame the execs for focusing on that market. Hell, only last year, mobile devs finally found out, that horny gamer girls exist
@alyx
Yeah, I kinda agree.
On one hand, kiddies have to play on phone, since bringing a laptop with you everywhere is seriously annoying. (Trust me, I fought authorities for quite a long time for it :D)
But, GBA SP was literally perfection, because I could just have it on me without any problem. And as we just debated lower on the thread, there really is (almost) no alternative these days. So, it's not like they have a choice.
