3DS VS PS-Vita

[masschamber]

frankly I really think people are over reaching the difference in visual fidelity between the psv and the 3ds, the powervr sgx 543 mp2 benchmarks at about 20 million lit textured polygons, uncharted ga draws .26 million polygons,

and numerous other previews place uncharted in polygon counts much more inline with the gamecube and xbox than the ps3/360, it clearly can texture well and does lighting well, and that should bolster it past the 6th gen visuals but it isn't ps3, considering games like resident evil revelations is running at twice the frame rate as uncharted the difference isn't nearly what the difference between the psp and ds was
also people are going to come down with SONY IS SELLING IT AT A LOSS FOR 3 YEARS!!!!!
that isn't what was said, Kaz said that they intend to turn a profit on the psv in 3 years, given the wording that sounds as if they want to have made money on the investment as a whole in 3 years

basically it will come down to the games released, multimedia functionality is already gobbled up by phones so I really think that will be a moot point, the 3ds could have an advantage with 3d movies if anyone even cares by the time they arrive, but that's it.
as for games, both have a lot of announced 3rd party support and a little displayed third party support so that is pretty much another null point at the moment (I know epic said the unreal 3 engine is coming to it, but just because an engine is running on a device it doesn't mean that it can support every game developed with that engine), now if nintendo does with the 3ds what they have done with the wii for the past oh 3 years the psv will have better sales in the bag, if nintendo does what they should be doing i.e. make games for it, the 3ds should
battery life will be as poor on the psv as the 3ds, Oled isn't a panacea and unless that thing has a huge capacity I doubt it will have better battery life than the 3ds, good thing neither run on AA batteries huh
frankly the biggest concern I have for the 3ds and psv is that developers won't be able to support exclusively and will end up with poorly optimized multiplatform games
regardless I'll buy both,
