About 3DS and PSVita

Sorry...but i don't have the time to read all this.My opinion is that the PS Vita is a lot better than 3DS (2 analogs,big touch screen and very nice looking system)

The PSP Vita is a first day buy for me......to bad that i can't tell the same and for the 3DS.

Ya...Bottom line: PSVita has much more gameplay functionalities and options than the 3DS (Multitouch front/backscreen, dual analog sticks, sixaxis motion control, etc). PSVita also has far better graphical capabilities than 3DS could ever dream of, with games reaching console quality fidelity. The online is undeniably far more robust on PSVita than 3DS could ever dream of. Last but most importantly, the PSVita's launch library is amazing especially when compared to 3DS mediocre slew of launch titles. All of this for the same price of a 3DS. At least the 3DS is getting some great games this holiday

Mhm mhm, not gonna read that, but it all comes down to the games. I highly, HIGHLY doubt the PSP Vita will have many games I want and I already know at least 5 3DS games that I want.

I'm a 3DS owner, and without even touching the psv, it looks like the $250 price tag belongs on the system. I understand why Nintendo bumped the price up of the 3ds--to prepare consumer for the more pricey home console--but the 3DS certainly does NOT feel like a $250 device. Games, sure. The 3DS will likely get tons of support. But you know what, and call me crazy if you'd like, but I can see that the 3DS remodel being drastically different than the current one. A slimmer and far more psv-like "solid" build, but the kicker is that I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo drops the 3D alltogether.

I have a 3DS but I wish I didn't buy it at launch. I barely touch it. I should have waited until the holidays. The more I hear about the PSV the better it gets for me. Not sure if I am getting it at launch because I want to be positive that it will get supported. Anyhoo...I will be owning both.

I dont even...

you really think people are going to read all that, anyway. i'm getting the vita over the 3ds why? because i have my own reasons why. just let people do what they wanna do and buy what they wanna buy.

I don't know how anyone is getting the idea that the 3DS is "underpowered". There's alot of Sony fanboys that are going to say this kind of thing regardless if it's true or not. There are even Nintendo fanboys that will say the very samething about the PSV. The fact is that BOTH devices have impressive hardware and are pretty much equal as far as visuals go (minus the 3D of course).

What's going to set these two machines apart will be the games. Nintendo's launch line up was pretty weak but there's still a few really good titles out there. and also, when I look at what's coming for the 3DS, there are some really great games in the mix.

As impressive as the PSV looked at E3, I still think it's going to be an uphill battle for Sony. The 3DS will have dozens of quality titles out by the time the PSV is launched, giving Sony more to compete with. I think pricing the PSV at $249 was a very smart move though. This makes the PSV appear as a much more viable option to the 3DS.

The games will be the ultimate decider though.

Equal as far as visuals go? Not from what has been seen. The "underpowered" statement comes from the fact that these devices have a long shelf life, and the 3DS has already probably been eclipsed by smartphones.

I'm getting a 3DS, but it's all about the games, not the technology. The DS wasn't a powerful system, never was, but I couldn't care less. It is my favorite system of this generation (not just handheld) and it did it with its monumental library of fantastic games. Nothing is stopping the 3DS from being the same.

I agree with this.

PSV has me excited for a handheld once again. 3ds I didn't even know that system was launched until a few days later LOL!

I don't think the 3DS is under powered. I just think it is over priced. I can't wait to get the Vita, but I am not getting the 3DS until it is under $200 and even then, only if they have reduced the prices to their older games. Nintendo has a bad habit of taking forever to reduce the prices on their games. I learned that the hard way with the DS. I will not make the same mistake twice with the 3DS.

Coolyfett didnt read the original post, but will eventually get the PSV.

reasons...

Well invested in PSP software & PSN

not embarrassed to pull a PSV out in public

Coolyfetts girlfriend can watch her favorite shows when we are in bed.

please guys, punctuation is your friend. I won't read anything lacking punctuation after the second or third line.

I have been quite disappointed with my 3DS so far; I played Face Raiders, got Super Monkey Ball 3D and beat it, tried a demo of Pilot Wings at the store, downloaded Excitebike, etc. That all lasted me about 2 days of light use and has been dust collecting ever since.

I do plan to get the ocassional game for the 3DS (Super Mario, Mario Kart, Mega Man Legends 3, Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion), but more and more games and features keep getting announced for the PS Vita; so, I will probably be mostly playing Vita games. And Vita's greater variety of control options, 5 inch OLED Screen, cross game chat/invites, live area/near, etc. justifies any multi-platform game to be perferred on it.

Some good Vita games to look forward to:
-Blazblue: Continuum Shift II Plus
-Dragon's Crown
-Dungeon Defenders
-Gravity Daze
-Hot Shots Golf
-Little Deviants
-Little Big Planet
-Mod Nation Racers
-Reality Fighters
-Ruin
-Rayman Origins
-Smart As
-Sound Shapes
-Super Stardust Delta
-Wipeout 2048

vita has no games

The collections of PS3 are just gravy, they are not essential to the lineup of the console.

Mario, mario, mario and Super Mario are one of two reasons i don't like the 3DS, the second being the 3D... It made me feel sick for about 20 minutes so after that i decided i won't even accept the 3DS as a gift, and before you say play in 2D then whats the point.. I have a DS kicking about somewhere i don't need a second one.
