Nothing worng with that. However, let's say you're using public transportation. If someone's playing a gaming device, it wouldn't be any different from anyone else who might be reading, watching a movie, listening to music, doing crosswords, or whatever. They're just keeping themselves occupied somehow. It shouldn't make them stuck-up or antisocial. It's nice to be able to leave yourself open to the option of socializing on public transportation, but you're in no way obligated to. Social events, however, are another story.

By the way, a few months after the GBA came out, there was this one time when I got on a train, and I saw this one guy playing it. Then the guy sitting next to him asked him about it. The guy playing the GBA spoke to him with no problem.
