So the PS Vita is around the corner (in Japan, at least). The 3DS is already out, and I'm sure some of us want to experience both portables at the same time for one reason or another. I know this sounds kinda silly, but are you? I probably am, and for one reason only: Exclusives.

3DS. I wanted to try and like the Vita but its the same as last time. Much better graphics but the battery life is shoddy compared. The games are the same that I can get on my PS3 and the only one that stands out is Uncharted.

I think I may just stick it out with my PSP and DSL. Two FAR more varied and larger libraries... and one has a fantastic battery life.

You don't need the dual analogue which then you won't need the battery

3DS fills my handheld gaming needs just fine. There is no way I'd spend 250 on a handheld. When the PSV comes out 6970's should be the same price. I'll rather grab one of those to xfire and enjoy actual amazing graphics.

Just the 3DS for now. If Vita gets a surplus of excellent games I'll be more interested in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but based on what I know of games that have been announced recently for Vita... it seems as though the Vita is just a PSP 5.0 (can't use 2.0 since there are already a bajillion iterations of the thing) What I mean is, it looks like the thing is just gonna be a High Res PS2 collection kit. I'm all for HD remakes, or HD remasters... but it needs to offer something else. I have a 3DS atm... bought one back in March (probably should have waited), but I knew I needed one due to Mario 3DS and an inevitable NEW Zelda 3DS only thing that Vita has announced that makes me want one even a little bit is Uncharted. I'll just wait for a revision on the hardware.... 3-5 hours isnt long enough, hence the reason i bought the replacement battery for my 3DS... now I get 6+ hours of gameplay in 3D

PS Vita is a definite.

3DS purchase depends on the critical acclaim of Kingdom Hearts 3D, and the next Pokemon game. If both look solid, I'll pick one up down the line. If not, then I won't.

I plan on getting both systems.

3DS has/will have games I don't want to miss out on and Vita has a line-up of games I'm interested in.

3DS. It has lots of nice upcoming games. And will probably get much more interesting ones than Vita in the future.

Vita has... graphics. Yay.

Interested in both but so far, gamewise, 3DS has a big advantage over the Vita for me.

For now i will go with 3DS, i want to catch up on all DS games i missed, plus the new Square RPG looks amazing and is the major selling point for me so far

All Vita games i want so far are also for my PS3 and frankly i would never buy the inferior Vita version of Ruin and Dragons Crown, i will buy both on PS3


Also Vita has no support for most PSP games and no TV output that would both give it an extra edge, maybe i should wait for such a version first

I see no reason in owning a 3DS. Especially compared to the Vita because itis superior in EVERY SINGLE WAY! Why anyone would buy a 3DS over Vita is beyond me....

Looks like the 3DS won already. I was hoping sony would've learned something but it matters about games and if they don't have enough then I'm sorry they lost the battle.

If a 3D pokemon RPG isn't released by fall 2012 then my 3DS will be out the door and Vita will take its place.

100% probability I will own both. When I buy both... well, after Sony's conference, that's a mystery greater than any other :lol:

1) so? It's just like a mobile number. Not like the DS and wii 2) so? Ps2 was outdated compared to xbox and gamecube, but it's the games that matter 3) yes it does 4) not really a flaw

None, really.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose my iPhone 4 or iPad.

If I had to choose between the two, both being FREE.....definitely the PS Vita :lol:
