Have you ever seen someone use a Switch or 3DS in public?

Yeah a few times, on the bus and train. I take mine on the bus but the next town is an hour away.

Walk in the vicinity of Nintendo World and you'll more more hits than you ever received. Crazy.

I see a lot of kids with Phones and Tablets more than anything. Playing games and watching movies.

I've seen a handful of 3DS, and a few switches. Mostly older kids. I even saw a Vita once.

Tablets and phones have taken over for most, you can just do more on them when in public.

Yeah. Mostly kids, parents don't want them running around so the console is to keep them occupied.

I play my Switch on the train and at work. Seen maybe two Switches and a few DSs in public before. I couldn't tell you if they were 3DSs or DSs.

I've seen the Switch dozen of times.

The 3DS not so much nowadays, but were pretty common half a decade ago.

I see it when I catch trains sometimes. Mostly people using a 3DS though. I personally wouldn't take my Switch anywhere unless I was going to & from a friends house, or on vacation.

Nope. The only place I’ve seen a Switch used in public was a small child in a restaurant. I find it hilarious when alleged adults use portability as a selling point.

Fair amount of 3DSs, but never a Switch. And I don't play my Switch in public.

I've used the Switch on airplanes before. That's about it. I'd much rather play it on a big screen TV with a full size controller. I tried using it in the car and that didn't go so well.

Only once when I was on a bus. I think it was the day or day after release as well.

I was at the doctor's office in the waiting room and saw a dad with his son playing the Switch. First time I ever saw anyone use one in public.

I've seen Nintendo handhelds "in the wild" many times. The DS/3DS mostly in the hands of kids, while I've seen several adults playing the Switch.

Several 3DS over the years, and quite a few Switches as well.

I saw a kid 2 weeks ago playing one in a library. That's the only time I've seen one. Back in the day I'd see kids with Gameboy Advance all the time, and 2DS for a bit. Maybe it's too big to take out.

I've seen some GBAs, DSs, 3DSs and Switches. 1 or 2 PSPs as well. I bring my Switch on the bus sometimes.

I don't have a Switch yet but I've noticed that I haven't played my 3DS in public in ages, although I noticed a kit playing a Switch in a doctors office about five or six months ago.

literally 100s if you count events where gamers gather. If you don't count them, then yeah, I also rarely see other people playing them. That might however be because I'm too busy playing myself to notice :P

A Switch? No, but I think that's my fault because I try to avoid dealing with the public after work as much as possible. I have seen 3DS and 2DS systems in the wild before.
