I think that handheld works much better for it. When it's a game that you need to check up on regularly, then it's much easier to have it on a handheld for the faster load up times, and being able to play it on the bus/train is good as well. I find I am interested in the game for much longer on a handheld as well, I just don't have any interest in console games anymore, I much prefer PC gaming and at least I can play the game while at the computer.
