this guy right here

no one finds it odd Nintendo releases a peripheral so early into the console life cycle which in it's essences primary purpose is to add functionality that the Vita has built in...

now I turn you to who's actually pushing the device *hint* it's not Nintendo.

Nintendo clearly didn't want this because it would have been included in the initial design, gamers didn't ask for it as seen by the back lash for the ugly add on, it's 3rd parties that's pushing this, now ask yourself, if the plan was to support the 3ds over the Vita why is the 3ds getting a circle pad, it would be the same if right before the launch of the 3ds (if the Vita was out first) Sony says, here's a massive out of place second screen...

What 3rd parties to me are clearly saying to Nintendo is we're supporting the Vita, and so we can support the both of you make your device more like it. I think if third parties we're not planning on jumping to Vita they wouldn't need a circle pad pro, they would use what the 3ds as it was at launch. Makes sense no? And what are the primary games used to push the circle pad, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, core games you would normally expect to see on a Sony platform...right, jumping ship or making so development between the two devices are easier

just a theory, I could be very wrong, but like I said lets wait and see




I dunno, that actually made some sense to me, don't know why.

As for the outcome of this comparison thing, adding the circle pad thing just so the 3DS can compete with input is very fanboyish.

Considering b/c for the 3DS and then going all negative with the Vita's b/c just because it didn't support all of the games plus many UMD games is bery fanboyish also. The 3DS may have b/c but the vast majority of those games are lame ass shovelware. At least Sony got it right to get as many good psp games to run on the vita. Quality > Quantity. With regards to the 3DS VS Vita actual game library, I could care less about mario and his stupid cars nor do I give a damn about his slut gf. Dont get me wrong, I adorred by 3DS (which i sold due to financial reasons) but its game liblary is lame, even now I find it lame. Uncharted + hot shots golf + Gravity Crush (or whateverf its called) > every game on the 3ds combined, but thats just me.

The strange part is that if i ever do stumble upon some extra disposable income, I'd most likely re-buy a 3DS instead of the so cooool and awesome Vita. Face it, with 15+M consoles sold worldwide and it selling almost twice as much as the Vita right now, plus the fact that the 3DS at least has some decent horsepower under the hood, its gonna get games, lots and lots of games. the vast majority would most likely be shovelware again, but I'm all but certain that its gonna get a lot of great 3rd party support.

If the new RE game plus Nintendo getting its very first ever real tekken game (tekken advance didn't cut it for me) is any indication, i'm sure i'm right.
