I think the real question is PS4 vs Wii U?
The answer is obviously PS4. However I own both so therefore I win. Again.

Yknow what ELSE has AA though? IOS. Checkmate Atheists.
I actually laughed at how true that is.
Nintendo's 3DS and Sony's Vita clocks are ticking....
Android and iOS are taking over.
RIP handhelds. We had some good times
Unfortunately getting a device that runs iOS is basically at LEAST the same price as a 3DS.

Yeah if you love crappy touch controls or want to dish out another 25-40 bucks for a crappy Bluetooth controller on top of your already pricey phone.
the difference here being the convinience of having a multiplatform phone that plays games, takes calls, does email and 17 bazillion other functions vs one gaming device aye

Exactly, gaming device. You can expect to get good quality games from it which is the reason you buy something like a 3ds which is why it's selling well even through the markets of IOS and Android

I can use my WiiU Pro controller or my PS Dual Shock 3 controller via Bluetooth to play games on iOS, like Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Or I can play MHFU on my Vita. Or I can play Ace Attourney on iOS or 3DS. Or I can play Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS and WiiU. Or I can play Gravity Rush on Vita. Or Bravely Default on 3DS.
Best of both worlds? Best of every world. Except PS4 and Xbox One... I haven't got those yet. Been wondering about getting the PS4 Destiny bundle, but I don't know if it's a strong enough game to convince me to buy a console for it.
Also going to get Disgaea 4 and Danganronpa 2 on Vita in the coming 2 weeks. I make good use out of all my gaming devices. That makes me a "true gamer", by not being tied or limited by which platform a game releases on.
Because not made of money.
(Sorry, I don't have a fancy image to write that under.)
For me, the Nintendo handheld will always come first. Mario, Zelda, etc.
Beyond that, having had a PSP, I remember spending most of my time on that system using emus and such rather than actual PSP games. That certainly didn't send me out running to buy its successor.
Wii u pro controller on ios, never heard of it although I have used a Ps controller on it so im guessing it requires you to have root access. I guess you get the best of 3 world's.
Agreed on the whole Android/iOS bollocks (in other words yes they're taking over, and no I don't like it), but back to the topic in question for me:
3DS vs PS3's version of the Wii U GamePad
Winner: PS3's vers-ah fukk it - the Vita! One thing I moaned about when the PSP came out was how the titles seemed to be basically stuff I can play on console, as opposed to the fresh gameplay/unique games the DS offered... this again might be true this time round (and to a certain extent it certainly is), but a combination of Sony improving their focus and adding stuff like cross buy/play, and Nintendo not supporting the 3DS with the same amount of quality we saw on the DS (in my opinion) has changed my mind.
And Plus is the deal breaker for me - I've played loads of quality Vita games for 'free', even reliving some PS3 favourites with a 2nd play on the Vita! It could perhaps have more exclusive games on it sure, but, owning and playing lots of both, Vita wins it for me ....and I'm usually one of the 'Nin10doh' (deary me) crowd....

Even $ony knows the Vita was DOA.......the PSP was truly Luck on their part
The Vita is all Balls no Dick
Looks interesting at first glance but in the End doesn't deliver the Money Shot

Selling 80 million consoles is truly lucky.Even $ony knows the Vita was DOA.......the PSP was truly Luck on their part

For a first time attempt at a Handheld system Dominated by a Single Entity known as the Gameboy series.....yeah luck
But seems they actually cared and tried to put some effort into it hence the 80 Mill and a GREAT library of Software with the Vita they thought Swag alone would continue that Success but alas......
A bunch of "Graphic Novel", Weebo and other Crap they pass off as " Games" obviously isn't cutting with $ony pretty much having thrown in the Towel at this point there's no Deny the Reality of it all
To me desicions like this should be based on only which consoles games you prefer and also on which feels better to use for gaming. My 360 decision was based solely on controller as I had a ps3 as well but rarely played it because of controller.
I really love both systems for their games. For quality of the console and UI I do prefer the Vita though but games are where it really counts. I owned both a Vita and 3DS XL but got a little bored of portable gaming and recently sold my Vita. I might get another one in the future but all is well because I know that all I need to do is log in PSN again to get my stuff back.
The 3DS on the other hand is more complicated, especially now that I've linked my Club Nintendo ID to it. There are just too many digital games I can't risk losing that I will need to hold onto the XL for now. That, and if it weren't for Super Smash Bros. 3DS coming out soon, I might have ended up selling the XL too regardless of my digital library.
My point stands, I love both of them equally and did end up buying both of them. I am sure I will own another Vita in the future, be it the original or another revision. I've just gotten a bit tired of portable gaming and not many titles interest me at the moment. I'm sure that'll change overtime as it always does though. I am considering getting into consoles though.

@Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer". -

I swear like 99% of arcade games wouldn't even exist these days outside of MAME the arcade machines are old and busted very few ever saw any sort of home conversion

I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
