The 3DS library. It didn't have a five star exclusive but neither did the DS. It had Super Mario 64. Neither did the PSP. It had.....I don't know. The PS3 didn't have a killer exclusive until 2008, in my opinion. The PS2, I owned for 8 months with only NBA Street and Red Faction (and I wasn't a fan of FPS's or sports games) to comfort me (thank God for my Dreamcast!).

Think back. How many consoles had system sellers at launch? How many had these amazing libraries? The Nes? The Snes, maybe (Mario World, Pilot Wings, and F-Zero)? Certainly not the Wii, PS1, Xbox, etc. The only totally balanced library I can think of is the Dreamcast.

A good rule of thumb for any console is to wait 6 months to a year before buying it. I didn't get a 360 until 2007, a Wii until early 2008, and a PS3 until mid 2008. I didn't get the PSP until 2009 (and I felt it was miles ahead of the DS). I got a DS at launch and I bought some shitty games (Sprung, Feel the Magic) as a result. I don't know why we're condemning the 3DS so soon. It's a great piece of hardware and it's given me hours of entertainment. I've played Zelda and Streetfighter over 20 hours, each.

For all of the PSV supporters who are so quick to condemn the 3DS, what have you got? The system hasn't released. It hasn't sold a single unit. It hasn't released a single game. You're comparing something that hasn't released and made a lot of promises to something that is here and now. It's like comparing your current girlfriend to the girl your friend is going to hook you up with next week at the club. Your imagination is filling in a lot of the gaps. Maybe the PSV WILL blow the 3DS away but until we have the Vita in our hands (and believe me, I'm going to buy one), we are to quick to pass judgement.

I believe that next year at this time, a lot of people--maybe even me--will be eating a lot of crow. -As for the topic, what does the 3DS price cut mean for the PSV? It means that the PSV is going have to be that much better and offer that much more bang for the buck because the 3DS is now a lot cheaper and packs a lot of power. It's capable of a satisfying console experience as well as a portable gaming experience.

dude I know you like the 3ds and all but what are you smoking? 'psv' fans condemning 3ds? really? it's the other way around and nothing has changed since last years E3. arrogance of ninty fans (many) are just laughabale. they deny psv can be good competition and every chance they get they scream psv is doomed or doa. even when ninty is at rock bottom and getting hammered on all sides, for whatever reason, now psv is done for!? I don't believe psv will outsell 3ds LT either and doubt many do ( I do expect it to be much much much closer) but you are dead wrong on the condemn part. the ones who should worry 'at this point' is 3ds not psv. this is not about who will outsell what over the holidays, (I mean really, 100 price cut and few of your biggest sellers with it with many deals on online retailers like buy 1 and get one free on games already) we have a whole gen ahead of us. I see many naive comments on this whole 3ds vs vita debacle on this forum tbh. I usually just ignore it because people just won't even accept the possibilities. you are addressing the wrong crowd there.

I would get into the line up argument too (we should have that for sure down the road :) I don't mind having a good discussion with you) but I would like to wait until GC and TGS are over to have a better idea of it
