It's exactly how I would feel about it and it's definitely going to make me not think twice on leaving it out.That is true. A lot of people don't like cheap feeling gaming handhelds except for people who don't have enough money to buy a better handheld console.
I think if many people in the future become poorer, buyers maybe more likely buy a more basic cheaper Xbox gaming handheld which is more affordable to buy like Linux and Google Android gaming handhelds which can be bought for cheaper prices than a Nintendo 3DS and Sony PSP vita handheld.
