Graphics are worse than rivals' offerings
Online membership features are inconsistent across games
Battery life of original model is short
Accessories are far too expensive

Handheld

Limited internal storage
No packaged game
So-so battery life
Screen doesn't work well outside
Still waiting on more features
Expensive accessories
Needs more third-party titles
