ok fair enough, and a hell yes to Uno, 3DS back in the game. Vita, you got your work cut out for you!

Can't i be pumped for both?! I dont give a rat's ass who beats who in sales, its not like that totally determines what games will go to who. Hell look at Wii, PS3, 360.

If 153 3rd Party devs are working but NO game is announced for me is the same as nothing right now (You must remember 3DS also have 3rd party devs working on it, and since there is nothing announced, there is nothing to count!). As far as i remember, i'm interested on Uncharted and have hopes for Bioshock on PSV. At least with 3DS i have about ten announced games on my list to buy.

And, if i want to play PSP games, i'd have bought a PSP, since there is no news about how enhanced BC will be. I wouldn't bought a 3DS for just BC, and that is the reason DS is still going strong.

One thing i'm worried about PSV is that they are trying to make the same game for PS3 on PSV, and the design should be designed for Vita or for PS3. At least for me if the same experience is done on PS3 and Vita i'd rather play the PS3 version.

Oh, and the game that will win the handheld wars for Nintendo is Super Smash Brothers 3D!

Um dude the thing hasn't even launched yet, give it a freaking chance, and like the other guy (whos avatar I stole, he can't use it anymore lol) said DS and wii have alot of shovelware on them, psp doesn't have alot of 3rd party support but most of it is quality and there are going to be tranferable games and VITA only games, so you will get what you want and psn level games you can play on either which you will probably appreciate

THIS man. For the same reason, games, I will prefer the 3DS. I will most likely get a 3DS next year, but I am still getting a Vita, probably 2 years after I get my 3DS. I'm assuming both will have libraries very similar to their predeccessors and here's how those worked for me:

• I got my PSP before I got my DS
• Most PSP games dissapointed me cuz theu felt like console titles forced unto a handheld
• I loved the CGI cutscenes on some PSP games
• My PSP got spoilt. Too fragile
• DS games usually wowed me with innovation
• The dual screen cut scenes were just more fun for me than the CGI cut scenes on PSP(most of the time)
• DS had more than twice the number of games on PSP that I wanted
• PSP now has some games in its library that I just MUST beat, so I will soon be getting a replacement PSP
• If the same happens with the 3DS & PSV, I will eventually need a PSV in order to beat some truly unique games, but the 3DS will have more games that I want
• Example, there are 8 confirmed(1 already out) games on my 3DS wish list and 4 on my PSV wishlist right now.

Both of them seem pretty uninspiring at this point. They both seem to be offering 'mini' console experiences.

But I'll put the 3DS ahead because of Nintendo's ability to make great handheld games.

OP is gone :-/

3DS will most likely win in sales. PS Vita is almost the same concept as a PSP, and PSP was never too popular in Americas. American gamers don't want portable console experiences, they want games that can pick up and play in 20 minutes and put down again. Nintendo is pro at this, this is why Nintendo handhelds always sell crazy well in the states. In Japan PS Vita may outsell the 3DS just because console gamers there are largely migrating to the handheld market, and 3DS at best can only support PS2 level RPG's. However if a lot of PS2 RPG's get remade on the 3DS in 3D, then Nintendo may still be on top here.

To make it simple, I see a repeat of 7th generation handheld sales, just with both handhelds selling 20% better then their predecessors.

It may go either way, but I think the PSV may just edge out the 3DS. Sony will probably have Japan on lock. And considering how EMEAA hasn't really exploded in sales for the 3DS, Sony has a good chance there. Americas may be a little more difficult for them, but if they can a continious stream of quality games coming out, it should be too tough of a region.

And Sony may not have Nintendo's first party games, but they didn't need them when they beat (slaughtered being the more accurate term ) Nintendo 2 gens in a row. The fact is that while games are very important, especially later in the systems life, price and HW appeal is what gets people interested and buying at first. Those are 2 things Sony has gotten right for the PSV. So, I think people who believe this handheld gen is going be like the PSP/DS gen or that there will be an even bigger gap between the 2, are just fooling themselves.

I think people who believe this handheld gen is going to be like the N64/Ps1 or GC/PS2 are the ones fooling themselves. I can't wait for the explosion in sales for the PSV in EMEAA and Japan on lock; lol.

You're kidding, right? It will be a tough time for the PSV at launch, when Ninty counters with its multi-million sellers. And 3DS could very well be bundled this holiday season, so the price advantage is the other way around, imo.

So, the  HW appeal is the last remaining stronghold for the PSV, and that advantage depends on preferences.

Imo, you're just fooling yourself, but you don't fool me.
