It might not be a tech marvel but it sure as sh*t beats playing with any phone or pad. They will never control better than having a couple analog sticks. Even though I don't own a Vita it's simple to see how much of an edge it's going to have over ANY phone or pad.

I give the Vita 2 years before its tech is obsolete.

Which is why I bought one last wednesday!

Technically the Vita's tech is already obsolete by PC hardware standards.

People are just trying to justify their 3DS's purchase and/or preference by bashing the VITA. It's not really anything out of the ordinary. TC is just a normal consumer who can easily be brainwashed by any marketing tool :>

It's an iphone 4s with 2 extra cores, its not way ahead of anything, the tegra 3 phones coming very soon will blow it out the water, so shut up saying it's a portable ps3..

Well, its a whole lot more powerful than an iPhone, which isn't even the most powerful smartphone out.

The best iOS and Android games would probably average 4/10 on a Vita or 3DS.

Lowering your standards of depth gameplay, scope/breadth/quality of content, and how accurate/responsive controls should be is how that $0-$2.99 price range is met.

You get what you pay for, and developers make cuts accordingly to meet those price points...

You must be that guy who bought a 3DS and is now upset that it's technology is inferior. Can't say I blame you, I too would be upset if I spent so much money on something that can't compete on a technical level.

This does not mean the 3DS is a failure, it definately wins in the game department and I will probably pick one up once they release a new model with two analog sticks.

But from a technical standpoint it isn't very good, but that doesn't really mean too much sometimes. The 360 is significantly less powerful than the PS3, but it's still capable of having games with good graphics.

Also my first two sentences in my post only sound trolly because it sounded like you were trolling in your OP. It sounded kinda whiney to be honest.

NO. Not even close. The OLED on the Vita destroys the retina display 10 times over.

But the Vita is dedicated gaming tech, with all its power going to gaming.

Smartphones only ever use a fraction of their specs

It's not really. it just has really good lighting. jaggies are caused by the game being upscaled from a lower res then the native res of the screen. Try not holding the game so close to your face and it looks a bit better, but expect games to look a lot better then Uncharted in the future.

Go back in time and give a kid a Vita instead of a gameboy and they would freak out! But here we are in 2012 and we just can't appreciate anything cool anymore.

Ridge Racer and Wipout though look pretty damn good.

VIta sure fooled me then, best graphics I've seen on a small portable. Even when phones catch up they will still be missing controls which is what we care about. I consider vita a portable ps3 just as I considered psp a portable ps2.

Not sure I consider 3ds a portable wii which is an amazing jump considering ds was compared to n64.
