Oh please, the Wii U is a complete failure library wise, they made a console more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox 360 yet they use it to milk their own franchises which they have been over the years, the 3DS is a good console but its more as an upgraded DS, library wise is good but most of the games are short games you can finish in 2 hours, and all of them have terrible pricing at eShop, 44€ for Ocarina of time 3D? Oh I don't know, that was a near launch title game.

Face it, Nintendo is indeed slowly dying, they're trying their best just to escape that inevitable destiny

The GCN | GBA and Wii | DS times were the shit, but now? HA.


Sounds like sony & they're lame ass war games all they've been doing is spitting up more & war games

Oh look a Nintendo fanboy shitting on a thread where Sony is mentioned.
How abnormal.

Anyway...
The PS3 has a fantastic library of games and most are dirt cheap. The XL is a waste of space. PS3's are pretty cheap these days (well, over here), so I could see you being able to afford a PS3 if you sell that for anywhere near worth its value.

I'm a Nintendo fan boy myself, I just don't suck on Nintendo's titties like that.

I bought the 3DS XL along with a LOT of games, both on eShop and retail, but recently I bought Street Fighter IV and Tekken 3D, Tekken being one of my favorite fighting games of all times, needless to say Tekken 3D Prime Edition sucked and so did Street Fighter IV, I've been buying games for the 3DS but it doesn't seem to be satisfying me at all, on Steam or any other platform I would buy games for I would be happy and play those games, as for the 3DS, it just seems like an upgraded DS with better graphics and that's about it, the specs aren't bad but aren't good either comparing to the Vita, anyways:

eShop games:
Cave Story - 7.25€
Tetris 3DS - 9.99€
Resident Evil the Mercenaries 3D - 9.99€
Kid Icarus Uprising - 5.99€
Phoenix Wright Dual Destinies - 24.99€
Super Mario 3D Land - 44.99€
Gunman Clive - 1.99€
VVVVVV - 7.99€
HarmoKnight - 14.99€
Bomberman Blitz - 4.99€
Super Mario Bros Deluxe - 4.99€
Pokemon Dream Radar - 2.99€

eShop total value: 141,14€

As for retail games, I have:
Pokemon Y
Cave Story 3D
Tekken 3D Prime Edition
Super Street Fighter IV 3D
Tetris 3DS
Dead or Alive Dimensions
Tom Clancy Splinter Cell 3D
Resident Evil Revelations
Pokemon Soul Silver
Is this enough to buy a Playstation 3?
So basically, it's like saying the Vita seems like an upgraded PSP with better graphics. lol

From the list you have of 3DS games you currently own, you have some pretty fun ones, in my opinion.
Like: HarmoKnight, Resident Evil Revelations, Tetris 3D (Especially Tetris), Cave Story 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, VVVVVV. But if you want to sell them, go ahead and sell them. It's your own choice and nobody else's. :P

I don't know much about Euro Currency, but I also think you'll have better luck getting a CFW installed PS3. Sure, there are a lot of cheap PS3 games that are amazingly great, but there are also those games that you want to buy that still cost too much. Even if you sell your 3DS with all those games, I'm not sure you'll have enough to be able to buy the PS3 games you want. Sooner or later, you'll run out of money. :/

I'm more concerned about the system itself, the games are easy for me to get.

Warranty, yes
Online interactions, definitely.
Again, if you want to sell them, go ahead and sell them. I mean, there are ignorant people out there that would really want a 3DS with games like yours. So yeah, I think eBay would be one of the places to sell your 3DS and games at a nice enough price. At least, that's what I think.

Ignorant people? As to why? What makes them ignorant if they want a different console?

i totally have a PS3 I'd trade you for that 3DS! I think we are too far apart to consider it though...

To me the 3DS XL is worth much more than the PS3. Maybe its just my nintendo fanboyism.

You do know that the 3DS is region-locked right? If the 3DS was bought in Europe, you can only buy games that were released in Europe. Unless you want to import them, go right ahead.

Well that's good lets move on shall we if you ask me sony should bring back the PS2 Spyro series it died off too early we can do without the toy crap


This isn't even remotely on topic, stop shitting up the thread. And no, I wouldn't ask you.

On topic though, I have both a 3DS and a PS3 and I've definitely spent more time on the PS3. I mean the 3DS does get frequent releases, I think more so this late in the PS3's life span, but the PS3 still has an amazing library over all and just more features in general. When it's not used as a game console my family uses it as a Bluray player. I'd say it's worth the trade.
