ResumoThis chapter provides an overview of portable video game consoles from the 1980s to the 2000s, which have not been previously discussed. The first successful handheld video game console was Nintendo's Game Boy, released in 1989, and its longevity was extended by the huge hit of Pokemon in 1996, and it remained the most popular video game console until the Game Boy Advance was released in 2000. In addition, the average age of game players has been aging, making it difficult for them to continue playing in front of the TV, and the rise in performance and development costs for portable game consoles has been slower than for home video game consoles connected to TVs.
