I'm not a gamer, at all, but this slightly larger handheld that appears to support the legacy library, but also has a doc, probably with a GPU booster inside, and allows using a large flatscreen with the portability of the controllers looks like a great idea. The estimated higher price kinda figures, much better performance, expanded capability.
