Anyone else think the 3DS is going to crush the VITA this fall?

VITA has already crushed 3DS before release

I'm honestly not sure if either device will sell all that well, regardless of software library. I just don't think people want to buy $250 dedicated handhelds in the age of smartphones and iPod Touches.

The 3DS and Vita battle will be intense in Japan, where handhelds will always be on top, but in the West both the Vita and 3DS will probably battle for sub-Xbox 360 sales.

3DS will have a mature library, while Vita will have a launch library. Sony plays catch-up again in the handheld market. Merex760

dont forget the virtual console on 3ds...

Fajita doesnt have one ...the last gen psp was sony's first handheld.... it has no handheld libarary like nintendo does.

Not sure where you're going with that. The Vita doesn't need one. They don't need to recharge you for games you've already bought because they've been up on the store to purchase on your PSP for quite some time.

That's an advantage, if you ask me.

you honestly own nintendos catalog of gameboy,gameboy color games? i dont ...and im sure many others dont either...its a huge library to choose from. which is an advantage for nintendo not disadvantage.

also playing them on 3ds is the definitive way to play them.. they look wonderful and bright compared to the gameboy sp...and they have a savestate option ..lets not even try to play them on the original gameboy and gameboy color systems lol...unless the sun lives in your house.

I don't own all of the GB/GBC games, but I was around during that time and I had gotten pretty much all of the GB/GBC games that I needed. If they don't expand to the GBA catalog, then the only game I really plan on getting when (and if) it is released is Pokemon Crystal, because the batteries dying in it and it is my favorite game of that series.

The VC seems like such a great little feature but then you realize "Wait, I've already purchased these games... Why am I doing it again?". The VC would be so much cooler if it had games that never got brought over to America. Like if the Wii U gets a GCN virtual console, and instead of putting Animal Crossing GCN up there, they put up a translated Animal Forest e+ (it would have to be modified in some ways, but I don't need to go into that). That would give so much more incentive to hand over money. But for the exact same game I already purchased? Nah.

It's a great idea for those who weren't around during those eras, I suppose. They get to enjoy classic titles, but for me I have little reason to purchase from it if I already have the title in question.

The 3DS will probably sell more but Vita will probably have better games

We'll see. The PSP is outselling the 3DS in Japan. Since the Vita and the 3DS are the same price, I expect a closer battle than some might expect.

[QUOTE="Merex760"][QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]A mature library? What the hell does that even mean? NAPK1NS

Considering the fact that it was compared to Vita's "launch" library, it clearly means the first.

Starfox, Mario Kart, Super Mario, Paper Mario, Kid Icarus, Cave Story 3D and not to mention the continuous updates to the e-Shop up against Uncharted: Golden Abyss and...? All while they're both priced the same.

warmaster670

priced the same yet the vita is superior, wonder when people will stop buying crappy overpirced nintendo hardware.

Nintendo always gets greater third party support on their handhelds than their consoles. 3DS won't change it.lordlors

[QUOTE="110million"]Its launch already looks much better than the 3DS'AvatarMan96

I just hope the 3ds gets a megaman game.

It will crush it for sure.

i dont even think the vita is making the NA this year....

I think the PSP Vita will have more to worry about than just the 3DS.

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

But that's exactly what fans want. More of the same. It's worked for the past 20 years, why wouldn't it work now?

TailBlood

What I don't get is that VITA is bashed for supposedly getting ports but 3DS gets a pass even though it seems their upcoming titles are ports as well....

Umm no, the ports so far are enhanced.

With a price drop yes, but at 249 nope
