3DS XL has just released a Pikachu edition. I also have the Legend of Zelda limited edition 3DS. These points alone mean that 3DS is ten times more awesome than the Vita.

I actually LOL'ed......

OT: It depends on your age and interests. If you like Pokemon, mario..etc then get a 3DS.
If you prefer more Western games then get a Vita.

I'm not picking on VGKing -- just using his post as a springboard -- and I apologize for being off-topic, but what is with this weird dichotomy of "Eastern" versus "Western" games? If a game is great, it's great.

I guess the philosophy is different, but sometimes there's not really a big difference.
