Sony PSVITA vs Nintendo 3DS

[TemplarGR]

well.. between playing with my rock band, photographing Squirrels, and hanging with my girlfiend, i can only play in sleeples night like this one, it is called "real life" and you should try it before you stay sitted in your butt playing for so long that you forget how to use your legs

I am sorry i replied to you, you are obviously a little kid and i just lost my time... I tend to forget most here are young spoiled brats...

Ummm your pricing of the ps Vita is way too high. I bought mine for $160 brand new about a year ago. I know they are a bit hard to find in a physical store and have been going up in price a bit due to the new unexpected demand but you can still buy the ps vita slim brand new online at many retailers for $200. And Sony is selling refurbished OLED model ps vitas for $170 online. I own both a OLED PS VIta and a Zelda XL 3ds system.

If you are a true gamer though, the only option is the 3DS. More (quality) games, better quality games, games you can't find anywhere else. And, more importantly, games that try to be games and not movie-wanabees for the casual crowd masquerading as "hardcore" nowadays...

No TRUE scotsman would ever get a Vita.

Oh good, this thread again

I've owned multiple 3DS's and it has yet to have anything interesting for more than a few hours to warrant my keeping of it. First party Nin10doh games don't appeal to me anymore, so pretty much any Nin10doh console/handheld is useless to me since that's a majority of what they have game-wise.

I much prefer my Vita. Contrary to Nin10yearold beliefs, it has plenty of games to keep my satisfied and the remote play with PS4 works wonders for me. PS+ also gives me plenty of games to throw on my backlog, so I haven't really had to purchase too many titles in the past months.

3DS, because I play games.

 

[mkdms14]

I own both I probably play my ps vita more often now because of the constant titles and classic Sony releases every month. Now When a 3ds title that I want comes out twice a year. I play nothing but that game until I am done. Once that happens I go back to my vita. Earlier this year it was Bravely Default and in about a month it will be smash bros 3ds. Ok I lied and Pokemon remakes as well.

We both know that come November you'll be singing a different tune.

Own both, have games on both, kinda bored of the 3DS dry spell that Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright filled, waiting for more games, which should be relatively soon. Vita fulfilled a lot of my dungeon crawling desires, so I have that going for me.

I can't wait to have a single-game dust collector!

I'll play through the game once, then never touch it again. ;O;

Damn, you removed the text before I quoted so it'll look like I'm replying to nothing Oh well

The main problem with threads like these is that they're hosted here on GBATemp. Y'know, the site people visit to wank over everything Nin10doh does. Of course the poll will be one-sided, a vast majority of our users are just Nin10doh fanboys.

3DS because gaems. Not a huge fan of grindfests and indies and ports I can already play on PC so don't need the Vita.

 

[Vipera]

The new PSVita isn't OLED anymore, sadly. And the 3DS autonomy isn't that long.

Haha sorry, i didnt want a wall of text when i could just sum it up with a simple photo. You make a fair point tho, i guess people find this site by searching for something nintendo related (myself included) and i guess it does make sense that the majority would vote for it. I still think of myself as a Nintendo fanboy but even i find it hard to deny that vita is simply a better console. Its such a shame that sony seem to be giving up on it, i just hope the hackers dont. It still has so much emulation potential, much like the psp did.

Agreed.

I do hope the Vita just ends up going down the same path as the PSP; poopy sales in the first few years than a significant increase and it ends up selling ~80mil in the end...

Neither. Get a smartphone. While it has more shovelware than even the wii had, there are some fun games to be found among them. Especially if you take the purchasing price into the equation.


My 3DS is so busy collecting dust I can't even be bothered to buy a gateway (I probably even have to upgrade it some revisions before it can be exploited in the first place anyway). I sort of blamed the buttons who just felt TINY, but it's not much better on a 3DS XL (though it does have a noticeable larger screen).

Meanwhile, I sometimes trail the google play store, grab the first free game on there and often have MORE fun than with a rehash of yet another Mario game. Of course the good games are different because they have to be designed for the touchscreen rather than the controls, but that's okay. In fact, it's even a good thing.

Can't say much on the vita's behalf. My PSP at least feels comfortable in my (admittedly big) hands. Perhaps I'll pick up one one day, but today I'm mostly gaming at home (and thus on my PC/wiiu).

3DS doesn't have the Danganronpa series. I think we know the clear winner here.

The Vita doesn't have Ace Attorney. We now know the clear winner.

Hmmm.
Danganronpa or Ace Attorney...
I think I'm okay with just Danganronpa.
