The king is here! The handhelds(3ds and vita) will follow the same path as their predescesors and kick the console counterparts in the behind! JAPAN is king baby!

By the way, gamers need to go with the pc/handhelds combo next gen, it's the way to go!

Let the cosolists fight for last place again...

Yep, consoles are keeping the industry behind and have gave rise to very anti-consumer practices. Handhelds are the way to go. And who wants to play 100 hour RPGs on a console? Get with the times people.

Handhelds > Home Consoles.

At least handhelds are still about gaming, home consoles are more about milking, DLC and now you have to have a contract to play online that god knows what they'll plan to use it for. And ofcourse next gen consoles will cost much more.

considering how budgets to make games are rising every gen at high rates its unsurprising that handhelds and mobile gaming are gaining steam.

Probably. Unless the Wii U has something to say about it. (I hope? :P)

But right now the 3ds has **** hardware. Still waiting on that revision, Ninty.

3DS probably will. Not sure about Vita's fate. And no, it doesn't need to have a GOTY or any of that nonsense. Just good games decided on by gamers and not influenced professionals.

You're chatting with quite possibly the first nomadic gamer (handheld enthusiast). I'd almost take handheld games over consoles all the time. :P

Zelda games (LA, OoS, OoA, MC rock; PH & ST were meh), M&L (all awesome), PW (only played first, awesome).

PSP games have been mostly ports for me. FFT (awesome), TO (better than FFT), etc.

Chrono Cross > FFXIII... but FFXIII > FFVII/VIII.

MGS4, RDR, and Geow fit that description. Then you have all the RPGs that are shooters in disguise like Dues Ex or Fallout, etc.

VI has a few too many flaws. Leveling system is my least favorite part.

A remake is bound to happen for 3DS, ala FFIV on DS. But after V is remade, I bet.

Waiting for 3DS-"Lite" version to come out before buying. If Kid Icarus turns out to be good I will probably buy a 3DS at that time.

My kid's going to find a 3DS under the Christmas tree in a couple of weeks. We'll see how big it becomes.

Edit:

I'm tempted to break it out of the box and try it out myself. :lol:

Nothing Apple can do about it. The iOS devices have their own gaming niche- those who find themselves satisfied by iOS games wouldn't have bought a dedicated gaming handheld to begin with. A person with any extent of interest in video games however will ultimately end up buying either the 3DS or the Vta because of the wealth of content that these two systems will offer. The iOS devices will not kill off dedicated handhelds. These are two separate markets and will co-exist. If anything, I expect to see dedicated gaming handhelds continue with the same steam and momentum that they gained from this last generation. 50 million+ for the Vita and ~100 million from the 3DS does not seem so unlikely now.

Handhelds > consoles. I've been saying it for years. All can theoretically co-exist, but watch: the vita and 3ds are on the cusp of taking a juicy dump all over their lazy sofa bredren. Sales and quality (games like uncharted excepted) gap will be enourmous.

I find it strange that the DS is getting almost more new releases than the 3DS is and that people are still buying the DSi despite 3DS being backwards compatible and selling at a comparable price. Nintendo really needs to kill the DSi if they want the 3DS sales and support to shine imho.

Better? Not really, just different. Some hardcore portable tittles don't really have the same design philosophy as a console game, they're even better! OHHH!
