but does it have Mario and Zelda? can't let all those children down Sony, or is that Nintendo's job?KevinButlerVP

I don't know about that. The DS was the biggest selling portable amongst adults. The psps biggest market was young teens, which are essentially children. So I'd say Sony has the bigger shoes to fill. Nintendo has always done a good job with the portables, in that they really cater to all ages.

The biggest difference between the 3DS and PSVita at that price tag...PSV looks like it's actually WORTH the money where the 3DS looks and feels cheap and flimsy made with cheapo plastic and doesn't have a glossy finish to it.

If it builds up a good install base in the west this thing is golden. To be honest, now that I know the Uncharted game is good, I'm excited to see the new Bioshock title. They have a lot announced that we haven't seen yet, which is a good sign. Once it starts selling we should see a lot of initial support.

It doesn't really feel cheap :? besides that it does have a glossy finish, however I don't see how having gloss benefits a console.

Na, the 3DS could feel better, especially given the $250 launch price. I used my DSlite--and that has better contruction that the 3DS. I'm not a fan of the glossy innards, and the way the unit closes just doesn't feel right.

Trust me I'm not saying its flawless. I know it has its flaws and Ive shared my shared critique at other times. I'm simply saying that it doesn't really feel cheap either and that it DOES have a glossy finish, even though I don't see why that would matter just mentioning it.

I think 'Vita' is a pretty s***ty name for it.

dommeus

The naming convention probably comes from the same people in Sony that named Xperia, Bravia, and all that.

The buttons are flimsy. The 3D slider feels like it can fall off at any moment. Thing is just damn cheap and charging 250 was highway robbery on Nintendo's part...proven by the dramatic price drop later on.

I have no problems with the buttons, I do admit that the 3D slider DOES feel really cheap.

I have zero problems with the buttons, and I'm super impressed by the analog stick/slider. It never should have costed $250. I've said it before, but I think the cost reasoning dealt with the wiiu, in that Nintendo wants to charge more for the home console. The $250 3DS price was perhaps a ways of weaning customers into paying more for a Nintendo product, which are generally pretty budget priced.

Yeah Wii U will be $399 I'm sure of it. Then knocked down to $349 when people refuse to pay that much for it.

Nintendo MIGHT fix that later but I doubt it. Nintendo normally likes to be cheap.

No, it is far more likely that the hardware is being downgraded due to the under expected sales of the 3DS. I don't see wiiu going for anything higher than $300, maybe even $250.

If they could get away with releasing it on WOOD I'm sure they would do it.

Don't you fanboys feel a little ridiculous singing the praises of a console you haven't played yet? How about you save all of this "MY console is better than your console" crap for when you actually have one, okay?

I. Understand it's a great piece of hardware but do you have to shove every piece of good news in my face atarikid. And for me, I will not be picking up a vita until little big planet comes out.

No amount of technology or rave reviews will help the Vita in the market unless it has ONE key thing: games. Right now, it struggles against the 3DS in that regard. Nevertheless, I wish Vita all the best. We need a competitive Vita to keep Nintendo in check. I'll be grabbing it day one.
