3DS continues to sell like hotcakes in Japan, sales go up

[Guild McCommunist]

Just gonna cut out some key lines I thought were funny:

It [the 3DS] is everything the Wii is not. Hardcore games, full button controls AND touch screen, 3D games, 3D movies and pics, and is supported to the max by 3rd parties.

The PSvita is almost good, it is a great system to hold, and look at. But it isnt 3D.

In my eyes and a lot of other consumers... not 3D = not next gen.

The 3DS is cheaper than a DSi and cheaper than a DSiXL.

I understand you are a massive sony fanboy, and congrats on that.

But the Vita is a rip off as it is right now.

Have you ever considered stand up comedy?

EDIT: Oh, you wanted responses?

3DS has "hardcore" games? Like Super Mario EZ Land or ports of older "hardcore" games?

In most everyone's eyes, no HD graphics = not next gen

The 3DS is certainly not cheaper than the DSi or DSi XL unless it goes on a sale. It's standard sale price though (with the price cut) is still a bit more expensive than its predecessors.

Massive Sony fanboy? I forgot, you're totally not a fanboy.

The Vita has great hardware and great features, great games too if you like to think in a non-shitty way. At $250 it's a goddamn steal.

Actually you obviously don't understand anything.

 

[insidexdeath]

I seriously laugh when I see people bashing the 3DS so badly... especially you Guild, I don't see you whinning about the Vita getting ports at all I'm not a fanboy and I'm honestly interested in both, but if you think the 3DS is getting ports, then what is the Vita getting? Games that are already on consoles? Or PS3 ports? .That makes it pointless to get the Vita at the moment even though it has some exclusives coming up for it. Same goes for the 3DS, it's getting pretty good exclusives coming up for it and of course, you won't like them because it's the '3DS'.

People have different tastes in gaming, you definitely don't have to shove it down their throats just because you don't like it. Opinions are welcome and I honestly love to hear them, but fanboy-ism to the max is just becoming the annoyance on GBATemp.

But that's the point....very little differentiates the two consoles and yet some people only see bad points in the Vita, despite that the 3DS shares the same flaws. Having been let down by the 3DS there's no way i'd get a Vita at this point despite the fact that it's games already seem more appealing than the 3DS (to me...) I honestly wish i could sell my 3DS for close to what i spent on it, and put it in a 3DS/Vita future pot, but the massive price drop has put paid to that...

 

[emigre]

Personally I believe it pointless to pick up a 3DS or PSV at this present moment in time.

Everyone happy with neutrality now?

 

[high.kaze]

so I might as well get a PS3 which is also delicate and not portable... with better graphics and sound and ...CHEAPER!

and yes, I JUST got a 3DS last week. it suits me fine actually.

By the exact same reasoning - Why didn't you get a Wii instead?

based on my reasoning, the vita has no games I want, is selling at a daft price, is made of glass(or your new plastic screen invention)and is not very portable at all... the ps3 has some games I like, is cheaper than the vita, more powerfull than the vita, and also is not portable.
= ps3 win.
Staying in line with our conversation.. the wii is not portable, but is well built and strong. It has a huge collection of games I like and want (yes I know a lot are shit but at least a lot are great too)
on the same reasoning I bought a 3DS because:
It is everything the Wii is not. Hardcore games,(hardcore games my ass, ain't nothing hardcore about Mario, Sonic, Tintin, and Cooking Mama) full button controls AND touch screen, 3D games, 3D movies and pics, and is supported to the max by 3rd parties. (3D kills your eyes, has no actual gameplay advantage over the PSVita apart from being new and quite obviously innovative, I'll give you that)
The 3DS IS portable, totally portable, made very well, I dropped it already by accident but with no breakages or damage. The PSVita is also very portable despite the size. Perfectly fits in my pocket. I had a 3DS at launch and I sold it due to shite games choices. (well, PSVita has great launch games, suck it.)(Having got this new one I am much happier with the system (3d video player, 3d video recorder, 3d camera, 3d games, internet, more built in games, eurosport, and game demos) and around 6 games I really really want.

The PSvita is almost good, it is a great system to hold, and look at. But it isnt 3D.
In my eyes and a lot of other consumers... not 3D = not next gen. (Not saying something nonsensical = not a troll) it is just a handicapped PS3. and the ps3 is cheaper and more appealing in every way. I already have a ps3, and that wont change yet. I certainly am not tempted by the vita at all. And I tried to be.
the only 1up the vita has over ps3 is the touch screen. (The Vita also has an additional advantage at least: You GET TO PLAY UNCHARTED ON THE JOHN. YEAH.)


Because I have a wii already (it was cheap, very cheap, with tonnes of games, also cheap) and as I mentioned I also have a PS3 and a PSP and about 4 games each.
The Wii just got a massive price drop £79 in the UK. The 3DS is cheaper than a DSi and cheaper than a DSiXL. Nintendo restructured the price to make all options affordable for the average joe.
Sony are turning into a rip off company.
I understand you are a massive sony fanboy, and congrats on that.
But the Vita is a rip off as it is right now. [A rip-off. Just... Wow dude, you're stupider than you seemed to be there. The Vita does NOT rip-off the 3DS, it's advancing into was is called common right now. You might as well say Apple is ripping off Nintendo. and that Samsung is ripping off Apple. And That HTC is ripping off Samsung. And so forth.

@[member='insidexdeath']: We aren't bashing the 3DS, but rather this dude who's speaking nonsense. I have a 3DS, love it, but from a technical standpoint and fun-time, the PSVita is superior. Both have their own appeal and advantages, and we appreciate people expressing themselves about something. But if it's to say bullshit that's not true, that you might as well shut up.

 

[insidexdeath]

It's not about neutrality, it's just both handhelds are suffering from the same problem which are ports(while both are getting exclusives, but they're not enough for a new handheld) except the Vita is currently selling not well.

Maybe they're not. And I'm glad. Battery life is way too low because of the demanding graphics games on both systems have been offering (or rather the 3D for the 3DS). But is it really important to get HD graphics on a portable console? From what I've seen and played since the beginning of the week., that looks pretty HD-on-the-go to me. If not, games compensate by looking unique, i.e Escape Plan.

It's native resolution isn't techically HD! It looks good cuz its displayed on a tiny screen and high value ppi.

And like I said, do we really need HD? It KILLS the battery, and with current battery technology(?) we'll all have to compensate with an external charger somehow if you really want HD graphics. Again, is it really important? I do know I've been drawn into games because they look good, but I'd rather be drawn into games with great gameplay and story than smexy graphics.

 

[BlueStar]

I think if I had a Vita the games I'd buy would be Everybody's Golf and Little Deviants, but neither of them are really system sellers for me. So far the games I've played on the Vita have generally seemed like... How can I describe it, diluted PS3 games? Watery PS3 games? There's just something 'thin' feeling about them.

 

[Pong20302000]

i can see the Vita being very dormant until the Lite version is released
sony confirmed there doing Lite wayyy to early

alot of main shops just arnt stocking also

go Nintendo

Just had to clarify that.

While I didn't agree with everything said (which I didn't feel like addressing), I have to basically agree with this

But that's the point....very little differentiates the two consoles and yet some people only see bad points in the Vita, despite that the 3DS shares the same flaws
and vice versa.

I'm pretty sure that was a mistranslation of sorts...

Crap, I thought I had that noted. Thanks for the fix? xD

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Neither is Vita

But it looks HD. HD as a technical term and HD as a descriptive term have pretty much parted ways. Vita games look like they could be on a HD console, so people describe them as "HD". Maybe it's not technically correct, but it's a common term people use. Perhaps incorrectly but you get the general gist of things when you say "Oh, it's a HD game".

 

[DiscostewSM]

Vita is HD in comparison to the 3DS, even though many games aren't even rendering at the Vita's screen resolution.

 

[SpaceJump]

How did this thread turn from a 'Media Creates Sales' thread to a 'Vita vs. 3DS' one?

Seriously, it's the same with everything nowadays like MW3 vs. BF3, FF(put number here) vs. FF(put other number here), Skyrim vs. whatever, FFXIII-2 vs. my ass... Just go to any GameFAQs board and you'll find plenty of these 'discussions'. I'm sick of all this bullshit! Why can't people just enjoy what they like and not shove their opinion into other's throats?

Also the 3DS had to go through exact the same. When it wasn't selling good and didn't have much good games, some members of this very forum were pointing with the finger...

wow you are a total troll.
first off- 3DS is cheaper than all other DS models at the moment.
Dsi-£135 DSiXL-£145 3DS-£134
I gave my opinion. I am not 'stupider'(which isn't even a word). I am not a fanboy-I have sony and nintendo consoles and a microsoft PC. I love what nintendo are doing with the 3DS. I dont like what sony seem to be doing with vita though. The 3D really does add to the graphics, it looks friggin epic. The vita screen looks lovely, but their is nothing unique about it and by that, I mean my phone upgrade next year will be on a similar level and that is a phone! that I can call people on. PSV is a handicapped phone from next year. A time travelling handicapped mobile phone.
You also totally misread some of my points.
basically when I say the vita is a rip off at the moment (hence why the media create sales figures are low-on topic) I mean the price is too bloody high, a RIP OFF.
NOT A COPY CAT!
(*Mr T voice)YOU FOOL(google your own favourite photo of Mr T and insert here->)


did I miss anything? you are a fool, I like every console when they are worth liking, I got a degree, you are still in school, media create sales are very conversation worthy, sony fanboys live on GBATEMP now, .....
Love plus has done great. I think this means I want it too.
