PSV VS. 3DS: The Showdown

It's all about the games. The Vita looks like a fantastic gadget, but the 3DS simply has too many awesome games all releasing before this year's end.charizard1605

Be That as it may, the Vita is going to have more great titles at launch than the 3DS did.

I'm feelin' the Vita a lot more. I'd love to get my hands on one of those.

lol 3ds all the way , nintendo in the past has won with infierer tech and will prove to do so again because they have been doing handhelds before nes was even announced lol -game and watch ne 1 ,

and i m going with the expeirenced ,

sony tried once but failed and all vita looks to get is ports of ps3 360 wii u games , and that dont interist me the slightest

sorry home consoles were ment for a certain type of games handhelds were ment for periodic plays not the same as console , and thats how 3ds has started -nintendogs pilotwings it does have some big games but it will also have unique ones to go along side those and thats where the wining part is ,

im not buying mw 3 on a handheld im not buying that at all

sorry

and the rest of vita games look like their just amped up psp games been there done that except one game uncharted and 1 game wont make me shell out 250 or 300 -hope that model fails to

i already hate cell phones , and id be damnd if handhelds carried a service charge lol

don't care who wins the battle, i just want my ps vita

By the way, what's up with the Vita's release date? Aren't they going to miss out on a ton of Christmas sales releasing Dec. 31?PurpleMan5000

It's Important to note that sonyites expect the handheld to cost more, because its aimed at a 20+ year old, the 20-Something would have more money to spend on it, whereas the 3DS costs the same but is aimed at 6 year olds who don't have that kinda money.

which would explain why the $99 DS Lite is outselling the $249 3DS 2 to 1

The 3ds would sell a lot more if they came in pink, yellow, green & purple. The Teal color is not enough to get the attention of their intended audience.

I was excided about the 3ds but... if PS vita battery life is better then 3hrs then iam going that route. I usually ride greyhound, if I were to play on the bus and it shuts off I would be pissed.

I'm hoping the PSV does really well and gives Nintendo a kick up the bum, I'd still like Nintendo to come out on top, to me it seems like there getting complancent.

I wouldn't start calling the death of the 3DS considering it has 2 games this holiday that will undoubtedly be way bigger sellers than any Vita games this year, not to mention big system sellers whether you like them or not.

Talking about Mario Kart and Super Mario btw.

No, the 3DS is not failing. No, the Vita won't fail either.

Yes, both of them will do worse than last generation because the market is far different than it was in 2004. Yes, both of them will have awesome games and will be awesome devices.

The 3DS will probably have a larger install base by the end of it, but not by too much.

That's my take on the whole issue.

Ok, so it's been six months since my original post, both the 3DS and the PSVita have hit the ground... jogging. So, now that the Vita launch has come to pass, and the 3DS has built up a respectable library of games, what do all ye fourm-dwellers think of it?

...Also, loving my new PSVita!

I just want to play Pokemon so the 3DS.

I already own the 3DS, so it's pretty obvious that I would want the PSVita next. It's too bad that it's too expensive and they want you to pay $50-$100 for a memory card. I'm going to wait a year and then pick one up after the price drops on the system and cards. I'm perfectly happy with my PSP for now.

Technologically PS Vita>>>>3DS just like PS3>>>>Wii
