The Ocarina of Time game you mention is a port, not a sequel.
Small expensive devices have been the big thing since Apple released the ipod (another example of really expensive handheld technology). Perhaps handheld is the wrong term. Maybe cordless is a better way of putting it. I didn't expect the ipad to be popular, but it is.
Expensive Apple devices are popular. As soon as you leave that brand behind, there's not much else, except in the smartphone market that the iPhone created.
