3DS by far.
DS was good, but 3DS has much more games that I enjoy!

Both handhelds are great, but I think I prefer the 3DS just a tad bit more!

It's basically the same... Just with 3D... which I never use...

Hardware aside, they are still pretty equal to me. But both don't even come close to the glorious GBA. :]

Ds was freezone, 3ds is not.

Nuffsaid.

And even for the games, ds is way better than 3ds.

Ds is freezone, so you could get your EO2 and EO3 (the best one) on VG+ or any import site without any problem. That's what i did. -> Ds win

Devil survivor and devil survivor 2 are on Ds + Shin megami tensei : strange journey.

Pokemon black white (and white black 2) were way better than X/Y.

FF 4 heroes of light is better than bravery default (for me). Same for 999 who is better than last reward.

And i don't even talk about the rpg, my favorite genre, with many games you forgot on ds, such as :

7th dragon/ 2 fire emblem/disgaea/DQIX/ffTacticsA2+FF12 RW/Golden sun 3/Infinite space/Knights in the nigthmare/Lufia/Luminous Arc 1+2(+3)/Lunar knight/magical starsign/Mario and luigi :bowser story/Rune factory 2+3/TWEWY/Valkyria profile Covenant...

Ds is far better than 3ds, it's obvious. Maybe the 3ds will be closer to the ds near the end of her life, but for now...

Nah, not even close

I think it's close. 3DS has better Mario/Zelda games ... Link Between Worlds + OoT 3D > DS Zeldas, Mario 3D Land being a new Mario game is better than a port of Mario 64 DS (even though that's a great game), and NSMB2 > NSMB.

Third party wise the 3DS started strong but has started to fizzle a bit now. But it still has Monster Hunter, had Resident Evil, Street Fighter, etc.

But for me the 3DS needs an Advance Wars 3D before I can put it above my DS.

I may get EO2+3 later, but currently I wait if they get remakes for 3DS, that I would prefer. You're right, currently DS will win in this area if you are willing to import.

Well, I may get Devil Survivor then. Hmm, if I do this, the DS might win in this area, until SMT IV and Persona Q hit europe, then it will be tied.

For me Pokemon XY is better than BW. The artstyle works for me and think outside it's all perfect, I'm not a fan of the camera in Luminouse City. Also Online works on the 3DS way better than on the DS, so these functions are improved a lot in XY. And that is important for an Pokemon. And lastly Pokemon Bank also adds value.

I already decided that I will get heroes of light. I will see how that works for me. Of the RPGs: I should look for the Fire Emblems, this is a series I really like. Also I might get TWEWY and Golden Sun. Still, the 3DS has also lots of good RPGs. For Bowser Story for instance you have Dream Team on the 3DS.

Even if I give DS in a few areas the win with such changes, the 3DS still leads by far. And you have to remember: it is all subjective. For you some games may have a different pririority than for me, so for you the DS might be better. This consideration above is only for me.

The only thing that I really really miss on 3DS are thre CING-games like Another Code, Hotel Dusk, Last Window. That is an area the 3DS is lacking.

3DS is far greater then the DS but still DS has a potential this day.

Library wise - DS
Hardware and feature wise - 3DS

So I will have to say DS is the console I enjoyed more.
