5 reasons why Apple's gaming handheld would be an instant hit

The popularity of gaming handhelds has been on the rise in the past couple of years. This is primarily due to the fact that mobile gaming has gained a lot of interest across the world. Gaming on a PC or a console that needs to be hooked on to a TV is cumbersome and requires you to be present in one location. Whereas, a smartphone or a handheld lets you play your favorite games regardless of where you are. The rate at which technology has advanced recently also means it's possible to achieve console-level performance and graphics in a compact form factor. Owing to this, I feel it's the right time for Apple to dip its toes into the world of gaming handhelds.
