Don't listen to them. Get a 3ds XL. Wait for the vita 2000 next year and hopefully it will have games actually worth buying a console for. By waiting till holiday 2013, you can also see if vita actually takes off or if it fades quickly and memory cards will be cheaper. Also don't be fooled by bundles. more bundles will exist next year and will be cheaper. 3ds has a better fall lineup and library. It also gives you access to a more diverse array of games. Everything vita's got ps3 has in spades and does better. Runa said so himself with such a long list of ports that are, to be quite honest, viewed as generally inferior.
