400x240x2 + 320x240 = 268,800 pixels
960x544 = 522,240 pixels

Even with the stereoscopy and bottom screen, the Vita is still processing roughly twice the resolution size that the 3DS is
 
The left and right eyes are getting completely different set of image signals in auto stereo, which means 2 different sets of 400X240 image are being drawn simultaneously, and the bottom 320X240 is third set of images being drawn by the system, although not as powerful as vita 3DS is no slouch.

if you add it up, 3ds is drawing 268800 pixels vs Vita drawing 522240 pixels, forgive my slipshod diagram

You're right, it's not as powerful as Vita, but certainly not as petty as some would assume from the 400x240 resolution.
 
I am betting Citra3DS will play Xenoblade before Gatewait.
Or KARL3DS. Even I'm surprised at the progress our group has made so far. Hopefully we'll at least be able to provide a decent alternative firmware for those who want to import devices or travel a lot or whatever.

You can't really draw it like that, the top screen doesn't have double the height, only double width. 800x240 total for the top screen.
 
Actually i hope the DSTWO plus gets released really fast. Because now Gateway is doing things slowly. As soon as other flashcard comes into Gateway's territory they immediately start working. Look at what happened before, Sky3DS releasing gamecard that support 9.2, immediately after that Gateway announcing their progress for 9.0 till 9.2
 
KARL3DS is not in Race, since they use their stuff only for "Legal" stuff. So its bascially usless for 99% of us :P
 
If I buy sky3ds i don't need to upgrade my device to play games ?
atm i'm at 9.0 too

Not for now. No games require 9.x, higher firmware required is 8.x (Smash Bros, Monster Hunter 4G).

Only games that require 9.x for now seems to be eshop games, which aren't a problem on Sky3DS are they aren't supported.

Wouldn't you be super pissed if gateway releases an update before you get it? Lol seems a lot of these purchases are just impulse buys. Guess u can always sell the card after the release.

Won't be really hard to sell to people who are stuck on 9.3+

And "if" isn't really an point as yeah, it could be released in a few days/weeks, as it could also be released only in six months or more.

So, the more he wait, the more he might be pissed, if he discover he waited three months and still doesn't have anything.

I wouldn't say it's impulse buys, it's the contrary. Lots of people are starting to understand we won't see anything "SOON" after already three months of waiting. It seems they had planned to do a news (just a news, not a release) to give more infos recently, we still didn't even saw it.

I'll wait 1 or 2 weeks and then I'll purchase sky3ds x)

That won't surpress the risk to see the release in two-three weeks, just after you buy it.

I would say the best choice, if you have the money, and really want one, would be to buy it as soon as possible, to be able to use it at least a bit before they release something

The most people wait, the most they take the risk to see the release just after they buy it, which would be too bad.

And that's why I stopped waiting personally, to avoid such a risk (though the risk is pretty low for me, because I already know a friend that will be interested for sure in having a Sky3DS, as it's old 3DS is updated to 9.5 so even if they would release it in five days, not a big deal).

But my situation is a bit different, as I already had a Gateway far before the N3DS release so I'm not selling the Gateway for a Sky3DS, I'll have both (my brother also use my Gateway for it's 3DS XL, and when I'll sell the Sky3DS I'll keep the second 32G SD card, and buy another Gateway with the money of the Sky3DS sold, in order for each of us to have one).

Yeah you right if I buy sky3ds in 1-2 weeks and they release gateway soon after that I'll be mad..
Or maybe i'll buy bravely default if i can find it not too much expensive :P
I'll have a lot of hours to spend in this game

Or better yet, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. That would last you hundreds and hundreds of hours with tons of stuff to explore, unlock, gather, hunt, etc.
