Is this the golden time for handheld consoles?

With the addition of the Legion Go, the competition for handheld gaming is the best it's ever been, with the release of 3 main ones in the past 2 years (Steam deck, Asus Ally, and Legion Go coming soon). I think the ideal point is a hybrid between a game console and a portable PC, something more than a switch and less of a GDP Win. It would be best to support cloud gaming but also have physical storage option as well. 

What are some of your thoughts and comments?

    Booming but probably not gonna grow as big as other gaming systems

    I'm very excited about it! Handhelds are my favorites and these are awesome consoles! Reminds me of the Nintendo DS Lite and PSP era!

    Maybe.  I kind of expect smartphones to have the same features pretty soon; so may be a specialized market for onlly a feew years?

    There has been an explosion of handheld gaming consoles lately. I still wonder about the demand for on-the-go gaming, though, since the battery life doesn't seem to be that good.

    I think they're pretty cool.  Maybe especially good for kids???

    I think these devices have a myriad of uses in addition to their gaming origins. They are wonderful.

    Not for handheld console yet. Handheld gaming PCs I think are moving into their era at the moment but they're not quite there yet either. Until don't or Microsoft take handheld gaming now seriously, I don't think we'll see a golden age for handheld consoles

    I already have a Steam Deck, but I'm definitely looking forward to the Lenovo Legion Go. I really hope it can run PCVR games though. That would be pretty awesome!

    I honestly love handhelds for the purpose of being able to enjoy entertaining content no matter where you may be. However, I am so much of a big fan for plug-ins and able to stay charged to play something as well as a larger screen that is viewable through a large, wide monitor or television. I am a bit of a 50/50 when it comes to what type of console and device I like. However, a larger screen always seems to win for me, plus no timeout or worries that the battery will be limited by any means.
