1st no hate just stick to the facts.
2nd 3DS needs an addon to add another analogstick, which means consumers are being ripped off who bought the first 3DS.
I bought my 3DS day one and I don't feel ripped off- they screwed up in not adding the second stick, so they came out with a peripheral to correct the mistake for cheap- keep in mind a new 360 controller is nearly 70.00 retail. If they had simply redesigned it with two stick that would be the consumer being ripped off.3rd Why I'm saying first?? Cuz its clearly a new 3DS is on its way with two analogsticks.
I certainly hope so, but it is far from certain at this point that the eventual redesign will have two sticks.4th Consumers are being confused by this marketing, like I said many people will feel to be ripped off by Nintendo. Of course monsterhunter is the only game to support this slidepade but once its there and once vita comes out with two analogsticks many programmer will make their games on this addon too and persuade Nintendo to bring a new version.
FALSE: 6 games so far have been announced to be compatible with the 2nd stick including Metal Gear, Ace Combat and Dynasty Warriors. And as far as confusion goes, anyone confused at the gamestore can ask the clerk about it or anyone else in the store between the ages of 14-20.5th the thing needs batteries, which I thought would be a thing of the past in this generation.
the add on requires it's own battery so as not to be a drain on the already lousy battery life of the device itself.6th It looks goofy too, and remembers me of this Gameboy lens.
I keep hearing this complaint- who gives a **** what it looks like? If you're worried about looks, worry about how the GAMES look!7th Not only gamers will be confused by it so will the programmers as they have the choice to support one analogstick controls, two or both for their games.
options are a good thing. The devs will only need to address the question of 'should we add an option to shift camera control from the touchpad to the right stick? Y/N'8th 3ds is still too expansive in comparison to the vita.
170.00 is a steal for this device. In fact(and I may be wrong here), I believe the DSi launched at that price point.9th 3DS is also the first Nintendo device to be sold lower than it should be, the same goes probably for vita too, but sony has a better online service which makes more money with the enduser on time. Nintendo just failed to make a good and profitable online service.
So you said it's too expensive, then you say it's being sold for less than it should be? And we all know Nintendo has a bad relationship with the internet.10th people can't see the 3d effect in videos or pictures unless they tried it out, many casual gamers who aren't that much of an insider in gaming but want to buy a new handheld will see a Nintendo device with Dreamcast-ps2 graphics and a Sony device with xbox-highend graphics in online footages.
Casuals aren't about to spend 300.00+ for a device to play games on that isn't a telephone. That's why they're casuals.11th Vita can be linked with the ps3 which makes the console a counter selling argument against the wiiu until ps4 comes. People can buy the vita instead of the wiiu, having a handheld which is as strong as your consoles and having the same experience as wiiu can last the ps3 probably for another 2 years.
I'm not exactly sure what this point is about.12th Nintendo can't do something like this as the 3ds as for now has no two anologsticks, there are also no plans to release Nintendo wiiu without the controller to give consumers who bought a 3ds an opportunity to save money by buying a new console. We also don't know if its technologically possible unlike they bring a whole new 3ds. If they do they will face a lot of distrust by consumers as I said.
You don't know what plans Nintendo does or doesn't have regarding their system that is still in the works.13th The 3d effect can be influenced by your playing as you might walk with it or just smash too hard on the buttons.
umm... what's this got to do with PSV? And if you're walking or moving about, you can turn the 3D effect off.14th As I said sony has a way better online service which can make the vita a direct competitor to apple and android while Nintendo has to do a good online service at all.
Restating a previous point does not a new point make.15th sony has still a backdoor with xperia play if mobilephones get too mighty, Nintendo is lacking something like this at all.
More than that, Nintendo has said outright that they refuse to help power the mobile gaming market. They don't plan a "backdoor" for the possibility that their device could fail. I like their confidence.16th vita has more and better controls than the 3ds.
clarify that, please.17th vita is a device of its time, the thing is way stronger than 3ds and the pure power in it can even keep up with gaming laptops seriously. Being hermit myself I don't see a point in requiring laptops for gaming only if vita is out. Of course it comes down to choice like controls or resolution to ''I can hold everything with my hands'' views but when it comes to price all what you can get in the laptop market is an intel atom netbook with an intel gpu for vitas price. Also the Vita isn't as loud as netbooks too and you have to think about that for many notebooks and tablets the software is made for different devices from their kind to tower pcs while vitas software is made for vita making the device even more competitive to the above.
Nintendo Handhelds have a long history of outpacing superior hardware- Gameboy vs Gamegear, GB color vs NOMAD, GBA vs N-Gage, DS vs PSP and now 3DS vs PSV.HFkami
please respond to my remarks in bold.
