Im pretty sure the oldest handhelds that people actually played in public (yes there were earlier but I'm talking something you would actually see) would be the GB/GBA which was mostly played by millennials. Meanwhile the DS was played by a mix of millennials and older Gen z.

There were single game handheld devices since the early 80's, so boomers/X were definitely the first generations with them.

Probably more like Nintendo Game&Watches and their clones.

The Gameboy with Tetris was a huge phenomenon, and it released in 1989, it was very popular with young adults back then which were Gen X and boomers
