Nice try.

Why OP? Why?

Whoa what a smackdown, I'm trembling. I guess this conversation is over then.

It just uses cache to do the 3D effect, same goes for Batman Arkham games (3D on the PS3 & 360)

I don't know why you didn't get the 3DS XL, after I have read your post.

You can adjust the volume of 3D  on the 3DS. If you have it all the way up, then turn it down a little bit, and it will look much more better. (problem created by firmware updates on the depth sliders proper function)

3D is way much more clearer & anti-aliasing & vivid looking.

You are just in denial.

Go see a 3D movie in 2D and then see the same movie in 3D afterwards within several hours.

You should stop making assumptions on 3D. At least I have seen and compare it and often at that.

PS vita is a great machine and people love when they use it. It has games with quality in terms of console but people used to nintendo machines in portables and their IP's. Also 3DS has price advantage and being kids oriented games so every family like to have one, whereas Vita is mostly hardware core gamers machine so it needs more innovations and selling points which its getting with PS4 and more games in future. Vita has bright future with its hardware potential, sony studios and PS4 companion. 3DS can be good for a year or two then its not going to keep up. 

The point is Sony not losing money on PS Vita and it just that they are not earning good profits with it right now. So, its no worries for sony and their profits going to increase in furue when more games comes and PS4 support. So, Vita will have atleast 50 million life time and at max close to 80 million.

Its not sales what we should consider about device and its about how much you enjoy. It brings value in many ways with PS+, cross-buy and hardware potential, media capablities etc.,  Vita is more worth it for the price and has bright future.

Ummm Wat? 3DS will have another year or two? are you serious? 3DS will outsell vita for the next 4 possibly 5 years. I agree in vita being alive cuz where Sony exceeds in is long term hardware life but thinking 3DS will not keep up? Have you seen the sales? 3DS is going up every year, vita is about to be down YoY.

3DS hasnt even reached half of its life cycle yet!

Also vita max lifetime wont be anywhere near 80mil, psp did a great job with sales and it hit that mark. I believe vita will sell alot but 50mil is farfetched as well. 20mil-40mil lifetime.

3DS sales

2011= 13.6mil   2012= 14.2mil   2013= 16mil-18mil 

Why would you think 3DS will end in 2015/16?

The screen itself is specially made for the 3D effect. There _is_ a cost to using that cache for the effect as well. It might be 'minor', but you put everything together and it increased costs that I think should have gone into a single higher resolution larger non-3D screen.

I didn't get the 3DS, especially not the XL due to its even worse resolution ratio, primarily because of the dual screens. I bought 20+ games on the original DS and for the life of me almost every game was a disappointment.

Even games I know I like, such as FFIII, ended up looking _worse_ than its original from  over a decade ago. The original old school 2D sprites at least endearing. The 3D model remake was utter trash. I can't imagine how much worse it would have looked if it had actually been made for the 3DS.
