Consider the juice inside a hot new portable gaming device: It has a speedy processor, a powerful graphics chip, plenty of memory and wireless capabilities for instant downloads. You can play the latest blood-soaked first-person shooters like “Resident Evil,” dizzying platformers like “Assassin’s Creed” and some killer racing games that don’t even require punching combinations of buttons and triggers; just lean the device this way or that, thanks to a built-in accelerometer, and you’re careening down boulevards at top speeds in a shiny red Ferrari.
