the gamble is more when you know something haves been bad for a year and keeps going down and you think is gonna get good
If it had kept going down for a year it would be selling negative numbers....
The Wii U has had a somewhat muted start, and as a tentative buyer it's not something that people would wholeheartedly recommend at the moment especially with the huge price fluctuations that have occurred as shops try to shift stock. It may well have an amazing future but at the moment it's just not that attractive.
On the other hand the Vita has the advantage of adding spit and polish to a large catalogue of great PSP and PSX games, making them look and control better, plus it has some great games of it's own and a burgeoning hacking scene.
As for the 3DS...i sold mine because i thought it was awful.....it's the only one of these consoles i've owned and it's solely because of my experience with the 3DS that i won't buy another console any time soon.

LOOK I'M TRYING TO BE LESS WEEABOO ONE DAY AT A TIME! JUST LET ME GET OVER IT FOXI4-SAN!
DAMN I'VE DONE IT AGAIN!!!
I have all 3, so I'll try and give insight into all of them.
3DS:
For the original 3DS, the screen may or may not feel "too small to see anything" on a person-to-person basis. For the 3DS XL, I do not own one, but the enlarged screens have enough of a size difference to mitigate that issue. All DSi Ware, DSi-only games, and DS games are compatible with both 3DS models. The selection of 3DS games is expanding regularly.
Easy to obtain & a lot of bundles are out there, but expect a lot of Mario games.
PS Vita:
For the PS Vita, the screen is fairly large and the system as a whole is slightly larger than a PSP. There are two touch-sensitive areas; one being the actual game screen, and the other being a touch pad on the rear of the system. The UMDs cannot be transferred to the new system (unless in Japan), but all PSN-bought PSP games are redownloadable on the PS Vita, and PS1 games are being released every few weeks. All Final Fantasy PS1 games are available (a very common question). The selection of PS Vita games is growing noticeably slower than the 3DS, but the graphics for said games are vastly superior, especially Dynasty Warriors NEXT. Also, the games are longer length-wise, especially Disgaea.
Easy to obtain, but isn't as commonly played as the 3DS, so adhoc trophies are hard to do.
Wii U:
The Wii U is still very young in its life cycle, but the system still packs a punch. The systems graphics, both on a TV and the Wii U gamepad, are surprising very high-quality. In Super Mario Bros U, I did notice a little bit of fuzziness on the gamepad's display, but that is the only game I have so far.... As for the selection of games, it has a nice little selection of games to chose from.
Depending on where you live, coming across a system to buy is rare, but there are plenty of accessories and games to come by.

Are you retarded???
We should start a Persona 4 Golden Drinking Game.
Whenever someone mentions it in the context of "The Vita DOES have games", we should drink a shot. Guaranteed visit at the nearest hospital within 24 hours.

We'd be dead within 24 hours!
He's being facetious...
Shirely it was that obvious?
Of course , everyone knows it cant , neither is a vita a paerweight ,. It emphasises my selection in my sick n twisted way. get over it.
I own none of the current next-gen consoles, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with Wii U because it looks promising. It's bound to get top 1st party titles in the near future and it has decent 3rd party support so far.
My friend just recently bought a ps3 and he's been rambling on how he really wanted Persona 3 FES. Never played a Persona game before but I bought the ps2 classic for him on the Playstation store just because he's been wanting it for forever now. I have it downloaded and only played about 2 hours of it. Just got to the part when they all take a trip to the huge mansion that shoots out of the ground where their school is during the dark hour. I'm not too impressed yet but I'll keep playing.
Does it really make a difference? It may not look promising to everybody.
OT reply:
Your a risky one mate, all consoles are relatively new, all have their cons and pros though here a short guide on how and what:
Question one: What games do you like?
A. Sony Games like Uncharted, Modnationracers, Gravity Rush(great game!!) etc.
B. Nintendo games as in Zelda, Mario, ect.
If you've answered 'A' at question one, try looking at the Vita's game library and announced games, it is very small and third party companies are not ready (yet) to support it. I love this console since I own it. I love playing Uncharted but I feel a huge 'new game' drought right now with the console, I haven't played it in two months right now. I think you should wait until the PS Vita develops a more stable library and then you should buy it.
The same goes for Wii U, although this one is a bit less risky since it is Nintendo(If I know them right, after they released Mario Kart and Smash Bros. it'll be fine.) But there are many games in development for Wii U right now, Nintendo has announced titles like Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover(I have my doubts though) and many more of course. And you already have a lot of great games(lol no to much, the Vita has more), Nintendo Land is a lot of fun with friends, New Super Mario Bros. U is a great game also. But you'll also find a lot of ports, and some of them are a real pain, trust me. I also own this console) I also can't wait for Pikmin 3!
The 3DS is a pretty stable console although all the shit going on about that 'hack' right now could risk the third party support because of back-up loading. But the 3DS has a more refined library at the moment, Mario, Mario, Mario, Zelda and even more Mario. There are also a lot of cool third party games and a special one too(for Emigre) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars. There are also a lot of games in development for this console, including shitty shovelware
the DS had plenty of that... But still we also get games like Smash.(hey a real fan you know)
If I was you, I would go for the Wii U, since it is a next gen console and I feel that the future holds a lot of awesome games. You should try to get both 3DS and Wii U when Smash Brothers. comes out!
As for the Vita, try to wait until it's library is more stable, I ain't sure but it seems like some third party developers are giving up on this beautiful handheld.
And we didn't look at the specs of all console yet.(Since this is really not important)
My main point is: check the upcoming games and the games out now and try to find out what console and console library suits you the best!

3DS we got two of em , both gathering dust , they (my kids) dont in show any interest in wanting to buy games for them , they have all the Latest Mario titles , even some twice for the multiplayer aspect , I know it is new (xmas pressie) but he is glued to the WiiU albeit with less games to choose from , obviously as its still in nappies . My son has played 2 or 3 times with it on the main TV , and even then he looks at the pad , to all intents and purposes its a handheld device albeit confined to the house.. but if thats ok with you and you want Major titles with handheld playability then it truly is the way to go ,, i cannot see our kids using their 3DS's ever now they have the WiiU gamepad option. (unless of course when we vacation or something). I cannot emphasise enough how much we like the WiiU here , from browsing the net whilst your in game , to streaming media from the Pc to switching the TV channels etc etc ,, its become (here anyways) a real all in one device and for that alone i think it outweighs the handhelds. Feel free to scrutinise and nit pick my opinion , but they are just that like an asshole we all gone one
I know you were joking, but I'll take any chance I get at calling someone stupid/retarded/*insert derogatory term*, and you were I-T it!!!
