All i hear is good things about the ps vita, everyone seems to be excited for it. Cows, lems, and even sheep seem to be welcoming it with open arms. Saying the graphics are amazing, the game library is already piling up, the 2 analogs make for some great gameplay, call of duty, uncharted. But it seems like people are already not liking the wii u, saying how the graphics arent true next gen, the controller is big and uncomfortable, how the technology is cheap. Are you at all surprised that a handheld is getting more praise than a console??

No I'm not surprised. One has loads of information about it and we know what games are coming out for it. For the other we know next to nothing about.

I'll be getting both so it I;m looking forward to both equally :)

People aren't excited for thw WiiU because from what we've seen up to now (the use of the hardware) hasn't been that impressive.

Im not really interested in either at this point, Im unsure about the Wii U as not a lot of info existson it and Ithink thelast two consoles from Nintendo have been disapointing.I think handheld gaming devices from the likes of Sony & Nintendo are on the way down and the mass market for these is nowthe Iphone, Ipadand Android devices as they offer gaming from 69p and the convenience of a phone in manycases on a single device.

I'm not buying the Wii-U after how the Wii went quite frankly. 3DS line-up isn't impressing me at all either now or in the upcoming future which is a shame since the DS was the best handheld of all time. Nintendo continues to go downhill for me.

Well that is good for you. However, I don't live by your gaming experiences but my own and right now they're terrible when it comes to Nintendo newest systems for both their handheld and console respectively.

^ the WiiU isn't going to come out for a while. The design probably hasn't even been finalized yet, so there isn't much info on it yet. Once Nintendo starts announcing games, starts showing videos of what the system will actually be like (not tech demos), and gets thier hype machine into full effect, then there will be a much more meaningful conversation about the system. Right now it just "Hey did you see Zelda HD???" "WTF!?!?!? UC2 LOOKS BETTER" "Hey this system is going to be 20x better than the HD twins! It'll be the only system you need next gen!" "Well M$ and Sony are making new systems (that we know literally nothing about) and they will CURB STOMP the WiiU" etc etc.

Vita, on the other hand, is coming out in a few months (in Japan at least). Sony's hype machine is working overtime, putting out a laundry list of games, releasing new videos, interviews, etc. So people actually have stuff to talk about and get excited over (or downplay--this is System Wars after all).

Give it a few months. WiiU news will be all over the internet and (hopefully) the arguments will change slightly. This is starting to get boring.

Yeah. Since the Wii-U has barely any news while Vita keeps on getting more news and game reveals.

As do I, I own every system every generation and have for the past couple of generatins. The 3DS best games are ports of games that I have already played earlier. I expect the 3DS to bring new experiences not bring slightly upgraded experiences of past games that I've played already. If you enjoy that then fine but my standards for what I expect seems to be higher in my opinion.

Whether ports or not, that does not mean they're bad.

I never said they're bad. I said I want new experiences and currently the 3DS is not delivering on that and thus it's a disaappointment. I have already played LOZ: Ocarina Of Time, SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked, SSF4 etc... when they were first released so, no they don't not make the 3DS a good experience for me at this moment. Will the 3DS get better sure, the PSP and PS3 had bad first years just like the 3DS IMO is having now.

Yes, I have DOA is fine but it's a fighting game and there's nothing that drasictally different then me playing DOA 4 on the Xbox 360. I hate RE: Mercenaries in RE4 and RE5 so, I don't like RE: Mercenaries 3DS. I only bought it for collection and to play the RE: Revelations demo.

Ultimately, when it comes to new hardware, people are hyped when they see a system has great games and a great presentation. Right now, the Vita has showcased some of that, and appears to be selling at an affordable price. That is the key to its relatively positive reception.

The 3DS is under scrutiny because, 7 months after release, its library of games is still paper-thin (but most people also acknowledge it should get much better soon). The graphics are also a bit lacking compared to the Vita, making it an easy target for potshots from graphics elitists.

The Wii U has very little news available with regard to pricing or games. However, when DQX was re-announced there was a surge in interest. It really comes down to lack of anything to get excited about.

lol obviously. Wii U is just a gimmick and since it's from Nintendo it's gonna be full of garbage games. PS Vita on the other hand already has an amazing lineup and the best handheld graphics so far!

Makes sense to me... I'd much rather play PS3 quality games at work, while waiting in line and on road trips than another console that's probably got the same technology as my PS3 and 360.

Hmm, let's examine that fact; other than the controller we know every little about the Wii-U whilst with the Vita we know a lot about it.

That's why no one is talking about Wii-U right now, there's nothing to talk about.

Yes graphics are the only reason the fact that it has the most control options of any handheld system ever released combined with all that power giving developers alot of freedom to make games has nothing to do with it. And of course all the great games that have already been showcased from it the Vita its all about the pretty graphics right?

A) it's a console and a hendheld you are comparing.

B) we know a lot more about the Vita and its games because it's launch is much much sooner. The Wii U is still a mystery.

In short....a silly comparison.

this definitely does seem suspicious. The screen is OLED which is supposed to be more energy efficient, but you never know...
