    i think psp did it first for handhelds, i know the suspend feature was a talking point when it launched. consoles didn’t get it until xbone iirc. it’s kinda wild how long it’s taken to be a regular feature!

    i know this doesn’t answer your question at all, i just thought it was interesting hahah

      Yeah, I find it interesting too…

      PSP and Vita handheld this feature better than DS and 3DS yeah, regardless it was a more than welcome future :p

      I kinda remember it was a feature in the PS3 too? But you might be right about Xbox One and PS4… Because I remember being lazy turning on my PS3 and knowing it didn’t have many background tasks (like downloading updates and such).

      Now that I think about it, some Chinese handhelds (like the Miyoo Mini which uses Linux) do not have the suspend feature (like android handhelds) we are talking about, the workaround for that one is nice though, it actually creates a save state then it turns off the screen and audio for several minutes, then it eventually powers off and when you turn it on it loads again the last game played and quick loads the save state (with Onion OS). I don’t expect something like that coming for PC games, but heck, something must be done lol.
