3DS XL or PS Vita?

I can only get one which should I get? And btw people I hear always say PS Vita has no games but I am happy with amount of games it has Gravity Rush, P4golden etc. Is attractive although all in all the lineup isnt as good as 3DS's but I'm not buying the whole section from the gamestore. 

please give reasons :)

Vita has the most AAA games and the best graphics. I'd take that into consideration before purchasing. senses_fail_06

Connsumers don;t care about a handheld having more AAA games than the other

Well I just bought a Vita yesterday and I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but I still have to recommend the 3DS until Sony lowers those Memory Card prices. Xaero_Gravity

this, i refuse to get a vita till this is fixed

Go ahead and get a 3DS. Vita may or may not get a price drop and who knows if they'll ever price drop the memory cards. I'm speaking strictly from a monetary point of view. A Vita looks like a better system but yeah, I'd be burned if I went ahead and bought one and it was price dropped.

I've owned both at some stage and both have their pros and cons. But I think I actually preferred the Vita, mainly because you can download alot of the old classic PS games. hrt_rulz01

Ha yeah. Maybe that's not a valid SW reason but I love the idea of playing all those PS one games on the go.

If you don't have a 3DS I say a 3DS, but for me I'd get the a Vita because I have a 3DS and never even use it. It has no games on it.... Really the system is lame as of now. It is getting some solid titles tho so I would not jump the gun on the big N yet!

Both systems have games that are worth looking into.

the 3DS doesn't have memeory cards with ridiculous prices (and the 3DS is cheaper to buy even ignoring memory cards). The 3DS is also doing better thus far in sales and has a more promising future because of it. Based on these two facts it is easier to recommend the 3DS.

I have to agree with you there!

Both. But Vita master raceBlabadon

how can you say that?

The Vita is the better system as far as hardware and system software goes. 3DS has more games but the entire experience is hampered by how bad the 3DS is itself imo, I own both but i really don't like playing my 3DS at all and would prefer all the games on it being on the Vita instead. The memory card prices suck but there have been deals going around lately if you look for them, I would suggest you don't get anything smaller then a 16gb card so that you can have a decent amount of PSP, PSone and Digital Vita titles and Getting PS+ is a must also.

I agree with the better looking but as of yet they both lack games. I would take a Vita as of now but later a 3DS. I do agree with the last part they have a long time ahead of both of them in my opinion!

Depends on what kind of games you like.

Well I am a tech nut and holding a 3DS and Ps Vita there is such a huge gap, Vita screen is beyond amazing, and personally PsVita's games speak to me more.

I personally prefer the Vita, and would usually recommend it over the 3DS.  However, the Vita is bound to get a price drop in the West sooner rather than later, you might want to hold off a bit on buying one, or just get a 3DS.

Both have good games, don't let anyone on here tell you otherwise.  The Vita has better hardware, and better app software (YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, Party Chat, Group Messaging, Trophies, etc.).  The 3DS does have a strong looking 2013 line-up though with Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing (the Sheep here will probably help fill in the rest :P ).  Vita has a decent 2013 line-up with Tearaway, Killzone, and Soul Sacrifice (and a few others, and some PSN games just got announced recently). 

You really can't go wrong with either, it's best to just do some research for yourself and find out which games you want for both systems and decide from there.   

The one with a future, ie, not the Vita.

Vita, better games and more oppurtunities with the hardware.

I play my Vita far more than my 3DS, but it really just comes down to the games you like. Their libraries are completely different.

Shifting to a new persona so him and his other alt (the rogue guy) can argue with each other now.

Just look at the Libraries.

but in reality you should just look at these two games and determine your purchase through them.

I haven't got the chance to start playing Persona 4 Golden, but everyone says it's amazing and it spawned a pretty hilarious comic series so I should go get a physical copy as soon as I get a chance.

Got myself a 3DS XL last week, so far I'm having a good time with Super Mario 3D Land and MK7. I also have a good backlog of games to play (FE:A, NSMB2, Kid Icarus, Prof Layton, KH, Paper Mario, etc.).

No doubt I'm getting a Vita a year down the road too (once I've completed my 3DS backlog). 

I suggest you look at the lineups for both systems because that's what mattters the most. So far, both handhelds have a promising future so you can't go wrong either way. 

Personally it depends...I have both, I am a die hard Nintendo Fan which really allows me to love games like Mario Kart 7, Super Mario Bros 2 and other games like that. But I also love my vita for games like Persona 4 and the massive psp games collection that I missed out on since I was a only DS player. Its your call, but I would really get both at some point, they are both a blast.

The Vita is nice to look at, the 3DS nice to play games on.
I don't think the Vita will have a long life. If you're buying the system to only play games on that are out now, I could see somebody angry with life buy a Vita.
