your an idiot, when did i ever say macs sell more then pc's? I just said they sell like crazy and are giving microsoft a run for their money but i would never use that in an argument when comparing the two in terms of whats a better platform. good night foolinfinite884

PCs > Mac in sales and quality. So what kind of parallel are you making here? 3DS > Vita?

Obviously I want the Vita to sell well so that developers take advantage of the platform and make it a priority to make quality games. However, worrying about the future is pointless.

As it stands, the Vita has exceeded my expectations and is my favorite handheld I have had already. Uncharted I think is a bit underscored because of a direct console comparison to a developer that had time to...well develop the product and refine it over the years. However the Vita version is very competent on it's own right.

The interface is extremely snappy and I think the launch games are great. It's all down to personal preferance. I couldn't justify having two portables (3 if I count my iphone but I cant stand gaming on it). The 3DS has very high quality fun games. However I am more for a console like experience and feel the Vita fits the bill for a longer term investment given how fast portable technology has come and the Pica200 just isn't forward thinking enough in my opinion.

You mad? face it 3DS and Vita is like comparing a PS1 to PS3.. huge diffrence

Kaze_no_Mirai

How is does it have the superior games ? i own a 3ds and so far only good games i played which i own around 12 of is Resident Evil R, and two remakes of N64 games. What games are you talking about? I had the 3Ds for a year with **** games, there was nothing to play, the launch was garbage and i regret paying $250 for it, now the Vita on the other hand has so many awesome games, to tell you the truth if i can turn back time i would of not bought the 3DS because im having so much fun with the Vita. And really there is no room for two handhelds, plus i got Galaxy S2 with a ton of games. 3DS just sits there after i beat RE, and MGS is coming but it looks like i wont be getting it afterall since there is a collection coming to Vita.

Its funny seeing all the butthurt from people on here when they haven't got a Vita. Pretty sure everyone who owns both knows the Vita is better in practically every way.

Where are the games bro?!

What do you think about Super Mario 3D Land?

It's a 3D platformer, very rare genre nowadays.

You madd boyyy!

the more madness from 3DS fanboys the better imo :P

Im sure majority agree that if the 3DS should win any category, its the games. The 3DS has been out longer, has more games and has more critically acclaimed games. The only fanboy business here is from cows.
Every other category the Vita seems deserving.

Software is a matter of opinion. In another person's perspective, the PSVita library might be just as good (and even better) than the 3DS.

The difference in software quality at the moment is not as huge as...PS2 vs GC or PS1 vs N64.

PSVita was the obvious choice on the software side of things

Speaking about myself i have yet to see a good software for the 3DS, RE game? f that there is a RE6 coming out later on in the year, Mario? the last time i played mario was like when i was 8 or 9 years old i dont need mario 500, zelda? never played the series and not interested to do so.

Vita is a dream handheld with some of the best games coming for it and knowing sony im sure they'll produce some mind blowing games not to mention the best FPS this generation is also coming to it :oops:

[QUOTE="infinite884"][QUOTE="KBFloYd"]

1million?

yea i think that would put food in the mouths of less than half of the people working at sony..

Sony gets it right finally,but to late. Smartphones and lots of games/aps under a buck or even free, put the 3DS and VITA out to pasture.

Not nearly as irrelevant as the Leafs I imagine.

The hardware is clearly better with the Vita, but it's the price and the fact that there are tablets and smartphone out there which put the Vita at a major disadvantage.

However, proprietary memory storage and games retailing for up to $49.99 might be an issue

Haziqonfire

The "up to $49.99" is misleading: It's 1 game out of the entire launch lineup, and not another premium priced title in the horizon.

[QUOTE="infinite884"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]believe it or not it was still selling better than the vita is now.

It's current sales are leaving it in the dust

Eponique

Wow........ talking about the sales of a handheld that released a year ago to another handheld that just released last week in NA and Europe is sad really.

Lol, the vita is just technologically better but the 3DS has better games hands down. Its not even worth discussion.

:lol: Wow....Only the people able to judge the Vita should be the owners of the Vita....Same goes for non 3DS owners..

:lol: What a stupid video - they're comparing apples and oranges. Nintendo never set out to make a high-tech, state of the art, portable console... they're judging the 3DS by the Vita's standards. The DS and PSP were the same way. Also - saying that the Vita has better games... and by such a wide margin... that's just ridiculous. Meinhard1

They are both competiting products so you can judge them together. Ironically when he talked about games, at first I thought .. no way! But the more I thought about it the more I realize both systems are lacking so much that it could go either way, the difference is the 3DS had a one year head start.

Sure you can compare them; but judging the 3DS by not being a state-of-the-art portable console is silly.

No here is arguing the various points they make - the Vita has better graphics, the dual-sticks provide for a great, console-like experience, the Vita is the superior multimedia device, ect.

Nintendo didn't even try to make the 3DS a multimedia device.

I don't think it's fair to include the head start into the score though.

The highest rated PS Vita game right now is a multiplat - Rayman.

Uncharted actually got suprisngly low scores... it's barely averaging AA.

The 3DS has Mario Karty 7, Mario 3D Land, two great remakes (OoT 3D is basically a killer app and should not be overlooked), Resident Evil Revelations, a Street Fighter port, Metal Gear and even Rayman Origins is on the way.

Although I think the 3DS wins by a lot, could maybe see them making games a tie... but giving the PS Vita such a huge edge when it, in reality, has a fairly terrible launch lineup shows significant bias.

i stopped watching when psvita won the the game library fight...

like...seriously?

Yeah but as you said two of those games are remakes, so really the most worthy things are MK7, Mario Land, RE:R, SF4, Cave Story, Shinobi, MG, Rayman and that one Wii ware game.

PSVITA has Wipeout, Rayman, Uncharted (AA is still high), UMVC3, NG sigma plus, Lumines and Fifa. Again, when you look at it like this the difference in library is not great.

If we go by straight up scores the 3DS has 25 games over 7 and the vita has 11. With two of the 3DS being remakes and 3 being the same thing.

It seems like they didn't properly test the 3DS yeah. Also they complained about the 3-5 hours on Vita but still gave it a perfect 5 and they said 3-5 hours is bad for a nintendo handheld. That to me smells like different standards.

Anyway I think the Vita is the better device too (it's more expensive so it should be) but that is apart from the software because the 3DS wins in that respect. Vita still has to build up a strong software library and 3DS needs a hardware revision (better battery life, an extra control stick) imo.

The hardware is clearly better with the Vita, but it's the price and the fact that there are tablets and smartphone out there which put the Vita at a major disadvantage.

The thing is I cant get dedicated gamer experiance from those phone games. Same goes for controls. The two products are meant to give you different things. PSvita has more meat and control when it comes to games and since thats what matters from a gaming handheld that makes sense. While a smart phone is mainly used for a phone and all them aps and porobly a quick touch game while waiting on line or something. Which again makes sense for the product. I would never buy a smartphone with the thought of "man I cant wait to buy all these games"

Lol, the vita is just technologically better but the 3DS has better games hands down. Its not even worth discussion.

ActicEdge

Well the fact it been out longer there is no doubt it would have a slight edge over in libary though I havent seen much that intrest me for 3ds thats out now. I mean its just resident evil adn thats it.I dont care for mario anymore and probly will never play another one unless they make something like super paper mario for the wii again. I wouldint say its a hands down win in libary but it does have more options. However I will say PS vita had more launch games I was interested then what 3ds had.

Rofl. The 3DS is like 2 gens old with a current generation 3D effect. What a joke, the Vita completly destroys that crappy handheld.

This is like last gen when people said the PSP would come out on top because it was much more powerful than the DS. Instead the DS destroyed the PSP.RyviusARC

Let's be realistic here, if you let a first generation system sell 60+ million units in your backyard, that would hardly qualify as destroying the competition. The real world doesn't exist in absolutes, it's all about perspective.
