The gamegear wins why? It had something no gameboy had before backlight! I remember when I was in a plane on my way to Mallorca in front of my seat was a boy playing with his Gamegear and I was OMFG! What is this thing? It has so many colors? it even has a backlight and he can watch TV on it WTF????
After the vacation I went to a flea market and bought myself a Gamegear xD. And 4 games (i still have only those 4 games xD Sonic Outrun Streets of Rage and a 4in1 game with soccer and some kind of tetris style game and another racing game on it etc.)
I have a Vita here for 2 weeks now and I am playing Gravity Rush on it also have Wipeout and PS1 classics on it and so far the thing is okayish the analogs are the worst I have ever seen on any device and the splotches, vertical lines etc. (typical cheap OLED screen flaws I guess people call it OLED MURA) are annoying especially in dark grey/brown games like Gravity Rush.
So for me the Gamegear wins even tho it was a battery sucking monster. (I remember I had to buy special Camera approved batteries or so for the thing to work more than an hour or so lol cheap dicount batteries from ALDI or whatever just didnt last long enough. I universal power supply when at home lol)
It wins because it at least had 1 WOWED me at least once the Vita on the other hand never made me wow (well it did when the price was released at the Sony conference I thought hmm not bad for a powerful device like that)
P.S. To be fair. My perception of those 2 devices might be flawed since I saw the Game Gear as a kid and the Vita is a device I use as an adult so ....
