Why you need a 3DS now! (And why you should wait)

The DS was my first ever console, followed by the Wii. Based off of those two (especially the latter) I've come to the conclusion it is best for me to wait until the later part of a gaming console's lifetime before making a purchase.
As far as gaming goes, I need variety, and I need the platform to have good games in as many genres as possible so that I can purchase a game on a whim and not be disappointed.

I also find it easier for me to appreciate the 'good' games after I've already played the 'great' games, and those usually only appear later in the system's life. Otherwise I sometimes get this feeling of dissatisfaction and have to wait two more years for the much improved sequel to fix many of the things that bothered me with the first game.

Then again, all this just may be due to my poor choice of consoles to adopt early up till now

as a rule of thumb i never get a system in its launch as they usual suck, Vita is the only 1 that im seriously thinking about getting ASAP i cant get enough of Uncharted. 

I think that's a good rule to go by. I got the DS six months after launch and the Wii less than a year after launch. In both cases I feel like I should've waited at least another year if not more. The Wii in particular, I feel, didn't accumulate enough good games and also start to have a better quality of consistent releases until 2009.
For the DS I had enough good games to play at the time, since I was visiting Japan in 2005 and got a lot of niche stuff that didn't make it to the west until later (if at all), but I still would have preferred the lite to the phat
