Will you always consider the vita a better handheld than the 3ds even if....

[QUOTE="savebattery"] It's fine if you like the concept or even implementation of the gyro aiming, but you have to realize it's only in the game because trying to aim without it is near impossible. Go ahead and try it without the gyro if you don't believe me.savebattery

I use it without gyro. It was almost impossible, but then I gave it a little thing called time, and then I got used to it, now it's fine. I still don't use the gyro for aiming

Right, I think we are on different wavelengths here. I would say the analog sticks are different from what people are used to, not bad, thus they need time to get used to. If I picked up a 360 controller now, it would take me a good while to get used to the analog sticks- not because they are bad, but because I am not used to them. Same applies here.

Agreed, first time I played my Vita I was thinking..wtf whats with the sticks they feel weird, but after giving them a few trys in some games you see that they are pretty decent and feel alright.

[QUOTE="savebattery"][QUOTE="zarshack"]Well I'm glad that you have such extensive experience with the machine. to the point that you are able to tell people that actually own it that they are wrong.... :roll:

Yup aiming in unit 13 was really good.I also don't think savebattery has even touched the Vita like most users b**tching about the Vita.Maybe he/she tried one of the demo units out. And is basing judgement on the Vita that way.

[QUOTE="savebattery"] Anyone who says the analog aiming in Uncharted is good is absolutely wrong, and I feel completely comfortable saying that. The aiming is nearly impossible without the help of the gyro.Promised_Trini

I want a psvita, just way overpriced. If I got it, it wouldn't be for the vita games.JigglyWiggly_

Yah, there's nothing on the Vita right now worth spending over $300 just to get a chance to play.

That doesn't even make sense. The hardware is by far better than Nintendo's option. Games or not. The games will provide the life of the system of course. If you wanted to ask about better libraries instead of the systems themselves then the 3ds would win outright.

I think it will depend on which built in store that will be the most successful. Retail is getting less and less support. I think Vita might have chance here if Sony plays their cards right.

I certainly hope this doesn't make me sound like a fanboy or a hater, but here it goes..

The only two hardware advantages the Vita has over the 3DS are: An OLED screen that looks fantastic, and two Analog Sticks. That's it. Because contrary to what most fanboys think, the performance gap isn't like it was with the DS lite and the PSP.

You know, I almost fell for Sony's Vita hype too, until I got to play with one for myself. I didn't like setting up the machine. It's a tad confusing. I don't like games that require a memory card to play. I'm sorry, but that is a very big BAD on Sony's part. I'll admit that Uncharted is cool, but man, there are lots of Frame rate issues throughout the game. If the Vita's hardware is so superior, why doesn't it run Uncharted as well as the 3DS runs Resident Evil Revelations?

Anyway, The more I played around with the Vita, the more I thought, "Man, I don't know if I want to pay $250 for this." I bought a PSP last gen thinking that it would take over the world. But in the end, my DS Lite became my handheld of choice, even with it's vastly inferior hardware.

This time around, the hardware is just about even. There really isn't a huge difference in the graphics now between the two handhelds. So I guess for some of you, it's going to come down to which games you like to play. And to a few of you, it may come down to which one is made by Sony and which one is made by Nintendo (because lets face it, fanboys will love and support their corporate Nannys no matter what). But for me, I'm going to just stick with my 3DS. Not because it's made by Nintendo, not because it has better hardware, but because the machine delivers. It's got the graphics, it's got the games, it's got everything the Vita is trying to re-sell to everyone.

*ching* There's my two cents. Fire away, guys!

Lol, it'll never be a better system until it has more quality titles. Ever.
