The problem is there aren't too many devices 4:3 devices between 4 to 5 inches. Shouldn't manufacturers already understand that those who are into retro gaming now are in their late 30s or early 40s now? Haha
Exactly. The RG405M was the first in fact and caught my attention for this sole reason: The 4" 4:3 screen. And I really like it. Still rather use my hacked OLED Switch for retro gaming at home due to the even bigger screen.

On the other hand, the popularity of the RG28XX shows that retrogaming is quite a thing for the younger folks out there. Not complaining on that.

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs

    I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off
