I had a GameCube back in the day no one ever moved it around with the handle. Sure you could move the console but you still had all of the wires and of course the controller to move as well so the handle, and of course you would need TV at the destination so wasn't really helpful.

I never understood who they handle was aimed at.

In theory you could take it over to your friends house but realistically all you did was just set it up where you wanted it and then never move it.

    I sort of agree and sort of disagree.

    People absolutely did move their consoles around then. When I'd stay at my friend's or a family member's house, I'd often take my Dreamcast or GameCube, because I knew they didn't have one.

    They'd do the same when they came over to my house, because I never had a PS1/PS2.

    Where the handle doesn't make sense is what you said with the cables and controllers. I'd always put the console in the same place I put my controller(s) and cables - a bag that has its own handles.
