Give up 3DS for Vita?

I have a 3DS, have had it for a while and although I do enjoy it I don't really play it that much. In fact I only have 2 games for it not counting downloadable ones: Legend of Zelda and Super mario 3D land.

With that said the only console I have is a Playstation 3 and a PC. I don't have a wii. Now the PS Vita I would be able to remote play some PS3 games and more in the future so it seems the Vita is a better option for me at this point. Just want to make sure I'd be making a wise decision to trade in the 3DS towards the PS Vita.

Also this post is for others thinking the same thing and wanting a little direction.

well of course a console version of a game is gonna be better than a handheld lol, but thanks for your input.

I was initially thinking the same thing for me of trading in the 3ds for Vita, but after I fell in love with Resi Revelations and Ghost Recon Shadow Wars I decided I would keep the 3DS and get a Vita to go with it!

well i'm talking handhelds not consoles. I'm not asking give up the 3DS for a 360. I'm quite content with my PS3.

Have you tried the Resident Evil Revelations demo? I'd say stick with the 3DS as it's lineup of games this year looks really good. david_lck

I have yes and i did enjoy it. I do like my 3DS but I might like the Vita better. I would like to just keep it and get the Vita but budget is tight sadly.

stick with 3DS.

PS Vita is dead in japan and probably will do even worse in the west.Wait until it is clear that Vita is going to survive this year.

that's true, the 3DS has a price drop soon after launch... so be it. i'll keep my 3DS and get the Vita just a little while longer, I guess I don't have to have it right at launch. I'l just add to my 3DS gaming library for now.

Giving up one for another wouldn't be something I'd do, personally.

If funding for a Vita is your biggest concern, I'd opt to wait a bit, rather than rush out and sell stuff to get it. After all, it's not like the Vita is going anywhere anytime soon.

Both handhelds are sure to get stronger titles as time goes by, so better to hold fast and have both than gamble one of them away.

I was thinking the same thing here, because i really dont need two handhelds. But i probably wont trade my 3DS. I really do enjoy it now. I have some fine games with Nano Assault, Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil Revalaitions and Star Fox 3D. Plus Pushimo, Sakura Samurai and Zen Pinball 3D are great too. So now i am just too invested in the system to get rid of it just to save some money on a Vita. I am getting a Vita next week and i am curious how much play time my new Vita will get versus my 3DS.

Why can't you have both?

Personally, both are offering some awesome games that I would hate to pass up.

Both handhelds, and all consoles, don't get a good game every month. If I focus on how often I play any one platform it isn't often. I play one on my PC, then the Wii, PS3, 3DS, even the DS sometimes.
You shouldn't look at how often you play a system, but whether the system is worth its money after playing the games from its launch to 5 years later.

i dont know if im 100% right and i could be very wrong on this, but i read somewhere not too long ago that it costs like $130-$140 bucks to make a Vita. If it really is that cheap and they are charging 250 for it, then a huge price drop wouldnt be out of the question and Sony could still end up making a profit on it. So its a good idea to wait a little while and see if the price drops.

That would be the ultimate fail move at this point. The 3DS library is starting to get really awesome, and much more great games are on the way!Sgt_Crow

matter of opinion, at this point in time I find the same number of great games on each system

No way I am spending ~$400 on a console (Vita) with 90% of the games being tiny-screen remakes of a $200 console (PS3).FashionFreak

haha so much wrong with this statement! I see about 3 remakes/ports in the whole of the launch lineup!

For me; Pokemon = must own 3DS. Persona 4 = Must own Vita.

For what? Vita will be worth it if there is a must have game.

If you think the 3DS isn't offering you anything, but the Vita is then go for it. I won't stop ya.

I personally think that owning all Systems is the way to go, but yeah, If you think the 3DS's Games aren't that good to you then go for it.

Listen to me as I have the wisdom you desire. Keep your 3DS and save up for the Vita. Once you got it, I'm pretty sure you'll decide which one consumes most of your playtime, then you can just go trade in the other for some store credit/games

[QUOTE="layton2012"] Name the 9? I count 5. OT: I wouldn't sell the 3ds for a vita, the 3ds droughts finally over with an awesome february and the vita is bound to have a little drought, but it is really up to your preference if more of vital lineup interests you in the future go for the vito and vice-versa.charizard1605

I'm talking about both. I didn't say ports were remakes. You can count those games when they come out but as of right now they aren't. Also how do you know games like Time Travellers is a port? I can count unreleased ports like Monster Hunter and Unchained Blades Rexx etc... but they aren't released here in the states so, I didn't. My point was people keep saying the PS Vita is a port / remake machine when the fact is the 3DS has more released.

koryuk

the only vita problem on japan its doesnt have unique games like JRPGS that using its capabilities and Monster Hunter Portable only why reason PSP is popular due Monster Hunter 3rd Portable and exclusive JRPGS....

Sales are not definite reason for Its Dead or Doomed its just they have wrong choice for first game for Vita pretty same as PS3 on $600 on Launch

TC.. Dont ask Here...it will make you thread into a battlefield of Haters & Fanboyism ask other Forums

Yes you should trade 3DS for Vita because

Why remote play games on Vita ?

Also if you have a PS3, i find zero reason to own a Vita, since they share most games

In fact if you have a PS3, 3DS is by miles the best choice, because it opens up a whole new game library, than more of the same with PS3 on Vita
