The same number of years passed (15) between the Game Boy (1989) and Nintendo DS (2004) as from the DS until now (2019). That surprised me, as the DS does not feel like the 'half way point'. Probably a lot to do with my age during these time periods, (10 years old is 1989) and how that affects the passage of time.

The Game Boy came out around the same time as the Atari Lynx, which was much more advanced graphically but had a terrible battery life. Advances in battery tech are very important for handhelds.
