I'm planning to trade my PS Vita for a 3DS XL. Cunning decision or stupid?

Wait, the PS Vita's screen only lasts for 5000 hours? As long as it doesn't dim that much, than I guess it's not a huge deal. If I only play the Vita 3 hours a day, it'd last me about 4.3 years. I don't play any of my video game systems every day, so it'd likely last me even longer than that.

Still, it's not good to know that it has a life span attached to the screen.

All screens have an expected lifespan attached to them. It's nothing new.

True, but the average life span of an LCD screen is 60,000 hours, while supposedly it's only 5,000 for the Vita. That's quite a big difference.
