Yeah this unreleased device with an announced launch-lineup of games has more to offer than a released device that is now finally starting to see some great games released for it.
The DS has a larger quantity of good games.
But i'd say the PSP has a decent amount of fantastic games.
I love my DS and its huge library, but after I got my PSP I did notice the top-tier PSP games kicked top-tier DS game ass. But of course, the DS really does have a LOT more variety and quantity of fun to play games.
What.
Did you just knock the PSP for its online capabilities in favor of a NINTENDO console?
Words cannot describe...
It depends on the games you want to play... mostly. Check out these lineups if you really don't know which one to get:
This does not include games released before September(StarFox 64 3D, OoT 3D, Pilotwings Resort, Samurai Warriors Chronicles, Dead or Alive Dimensions, Street Fighter 4 3D, Steel Diver, Shin Megami Tensei: Overclocked, etc.)
Also, it's missing Pushmo, The Rolling Western, Guild 01, and many more recently announced games(and 3DSWare) games.
Jump to 2:43 for the Vita games (The stuff before that is about the PSP)
You should check prices and features, too. Also, consider that the 3DS is not region free, while the Vita is.

This thread made me laugh so hard. I LOVE IT.
On topic though: It really depends on your tastes and needs. I bought a 3DS and I'm satisfied with what it offers. But if you feel like the PSV is your option then by all means, GO FOR IT.
Also, I will not vote.

Duh of course it's not released yet. You don't need to be an ass to me for my wording. I think the Vita will OVERALL have better content than what the 3DS has and will have.
when psv releases you may be able to pick up a cheap used 3DS, (thats what i'm gonna try to do)! i'll buy a psv when it get's cheaper
Thing is, Vita isn't the PSP. It's very likely that the Online system used will be just like the one on the PS3.
I'll probably get a vita at launch. if I could have my ps3 with me, than i'd probably pass, but i'm a trucker, so it's not really practical to carry a ps3 and tv/monitor with me.
i have a 3ds, but it's library is really lacking in the kinds of games i want to play.
so far, i've only been using it to play chinatown wars, even though i have a few 3ds games.
It would be nice if nintendo and the majority of developers took more chances now and then to spice things up a bit, but that doesn't seem to happen on nintendo consoles. i'm not what you would consider a "hardcore" gamer,
but I'm not to keen on games that look like an easter basket exploded at a furry convention, but so far those are the only kinds of games that seem to be highly recommended on this system.
I guess the main reason I'm thinking about a vita, is the possiblity that a fallout game will be produced for it. if so, it will totally be worth it.
If my post seems a little incoherent, it's because i'm typing this from a phone.

If you're really undecided about which one to get, then don't decide. Wait until the Vita is out on the market so that you can make an actual decision, but choose which one has the kind of games you'd like more. Of course, if you have the money, just get both.
I own a 3DS and it's good, though I feel Nintendo could have done more with it.
The PS Vita with that beautiful screen and all that power on the other hand...

You mean hacked and millions of people's personal data leaked?
Anyway everyone should know to never buy a console at launch..

Let my fix up my sentence: Smart people should know to never buy a console at launch and let the idiots and reviewers buy it at launch.
I did not say that people are idiots for buying a console at launch, I am saying that Idiots buy consoles at launch.
They are two very different things.
You're still saying, then, that anyone who buys a console at launch is an idiot.
Yeah, sure.
Idiots buy consoles at launch... That does not mean that anyone who buys a console at launch is an idiot, you are just twisting my words.

I was in the same boat as you. I wanted the Vita 100% but I realised it would cost £300 just for the console, memory card and a game or two.
The 3DS with a game costs half that, and it's been out a year nearly meaning most kinks have been worked out. I'll buy a vita at some point, but I'll wait until the price goes down.
(If you think it won't, then you're foolish. I don't care if it costs even £230 to produce and ship, it will not sell well for £230 so they will have no choice but to lower the price.)

Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then.

A @ ATEMVEGETA:@BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.

A @ ATEMVEGETA:For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?

@
BigOnYa:
We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.+1

A @ ATEMVEGETA:@BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
