The 3DS really looks over-priced next to the PS Vita. Either Sony is losing a ton of money or Nintendo is really ripping you off. I dont see how the 3DS can hold its price point when the Vita launches.

This is how the 3DS can hold its price.

1st party titles almost every Nintendo fan wants.

Sorry to say but Sony doesnt have exteremly heavy 1st party hitters like Nintendo does. This fight may be over before it started regardless of the fantastic price of the Vita.

Vita isn't competing with the 3DS, it's competing with 3DS and its epic line-up of first- and third-party games. Sony has their work cut out for them.

3Ds will still outsell the PS Vita. I love how Sony fanboys believe so strongly in Sony. Its hilarious how Sony can do no wrong and they will always win, even though they've done very little winning this gen. The golden Sony days are OVER.

Nintendo will always because they have the new wave of kids to play mario and middle schoolers to play pokemon. (not saying older ppl don't play those games)

I'm hoping the Vita does really well.

lol sheep are so crazy. One mario game and all of a sudden $250 for $100 dollar hardware is cool. Personally im more excited about Luigis Mansion, I probably wont be buying Mario 3d. Hopefully we can get a price drop on that 3ds though.

Jolt_counter119

Its kinda funny but thats my point, Mario warrants the price for many people out there, and that just 1 mario game.

The 3DS may be over priced but the 1st party software will sell it.

mynamesdenvrmax
lolololol this is so ironic because it applies so perfectly to sheep like you and the rest of the posters in this thread it's crazy. Keep believing what you believe, and I'll keep believing what I believe. Best part about cows, even when Sony does mess up, they have so much stuff that you can instantly just jump ship and remain optimistic so failures don't matter. That's why we hype everything as the next coming of Jesus or whatever. Come @ us.

As of now, the only game worth getting on the Vita is Uncharted.

The 3DS has Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Star Fox, and Resident Evil ALL coming this year.

lolwat? Mario will still be there waay after the first and second price drops. Sorry, as much as I'm pumped in playing Mario and KH on the 3DS, I am never going to pay that much money for such an overpriced piece of hardware. A 3DS is worth $150 at best.

casuals do not care about graphics if they did then wii would be in last place

Nintendo is fine all they need are their 1st party games which they have

Mario Kart, Super Mario, Kid Icarus, and more are more then enough to help 3ds win

There is no need to cross our fingers to achieve that, it will reach that level of success mark my words. Lets cross wallets instead and march to the store to buy the thing the day its released, i wouldnt be surprised if it catches up with the 3Ds only a few days after release.

Whats up with the no Vita games bull. Uncharted, Killzone, Little Big Planet, Wipeout, Street Fighter x Tekken, Modnation Racers. But oh those are just console games I'd rather have those 3ds Mario, Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Luigis Mansion. Now those are handheld games.

It is funny how the TC is comparing the price and the hardwares in the thread then suddenly all the 3DS defenders came in and use the softwares to argue over the TC's comparison. Basically I think the TC has won already when the 3DS defenders have to submit defeat on the hardware front and retreat to the softwares. Wii has great Nintendo games too but it won't stop the other consoles have their own great games, see where this is going? Vita is easily the better handheld right now with that fantastic price tag, we'll see what games are coming out for it though.

How has he won? He said it wasn't a "fair fight" they proved that he is wrong and that there is more to the 3DS than he gave credit.

He says he doesnt know how the 3DS can hold its price in comparison.
Nintendos 1st party lineup is how. The software will sell tremendously if Mario, Mario Kart and Zeldas previous outing are any indication and with that hardware sales will increase, probably dramatically.

Get it now?

Starfox, Zelda, Paper Mario, Mario 3D, Luigi's Mansion...heck even Kid Icarus looked a lot better. With the promise of Smash Bros and Pokemon (how big could that one be?) getting shown off next year, how can you not want a 3DS? Vita has Uncharted, but the controls on that looked pretty underwhelming.

3ds seemed to have sold some copies without any games at all. Im sure the Vita will sell with Uncharted and Wipeout.

Nintendo takes a big dump, calls it a game system and fans eat it up because it has Mario. What a first rate strategy; it's like they took a page straight from Apple.

The TC is obviously comparing the hardware in this thread, and it's not like the the 3DS has anything worthwhile on the shelfs right now. Yes, the DS does have better games than the PSP but the DS is also a great hardware with excellent price compare to the PSP. Speaking strictly on the hardwares, the Vita is a better choice right now.

Games come with time. Remember the 3DS' glorious launch line up? Or just about pretty much every other system's lauch line up? Yeah. I expect more games to be annouced for the PSV along the coming months. You know, like how it happened with the 3DS and all.

Exaggerration much? The 3DS may be pretty damn over priced but its a very good portable system.
The Vita is without a doubt the better overal system technically speaking and feature wise but software ultimately warrants a systems purchase.

Dont get me wrong I will get the Vita becuase i get every system and will like it very much I think, I just think its funny how alot of people underestimate how powerfull Nintendo is with all of its exclusives. Mario Kart alone is more powerfull than ANYTHING vita could get.

Underwhelming? It plays just the same as the previous titles. The use of the touchscreen during climbing and fighting is optional.
