I think game market is shrinking,there are more casuals and sales of 3DS show that quality doesn't win battles these days since Vita is so much more superior handheld - it's laughable.But to no success.


The PS Vita only has 17.7 million more polygons, but the 3DS has way more shader cores & triangles, like 1,600 million triangles and over 50 shader cores in the 3DS.

Plus the 3DS does 3D Augmeted Reality.

And they both got 1 GHz CPU, but the Vita has 4 core vs. the 3DS 2 core.

The Vita has a 266 MHz 4 Core GPU while the 3DS has a 400 MHz 1 core GPU.

The specs are mix-match. I mean the Vita has better in some areas and the 3DS has better in other areas and 3rd Parties don't see enough in difference in their final Dev kits to choose 2D Standard-Defintion graphics over 3D standard-Defintion graphics.

I'm starting to think that 3rd Party Devs care more about shader cores then polygons, when it comes to handhelds

Plus Vita graphics look like such 3DS graphics as Cave Story 3D (retail) & Star Fox 64 3D & Fire Emblem Awakening & Kid Icarus: Uprising & New Super Mario Bros. 2 & so on and so on.

And the 3D augmented Reality gives the 3DS the AR 3rd party games like Denpa Men & the Hidden & so fort.

But I guess this is the best example of the difference of graphics on the 3DS compare to PS Vita:

It is OK if you post this crap in Nintendo threads, but don't post them everywhere please. 

Or just post it anyway, it is really fun to read it. 


It's a mix-match in specs, the Vita has more polygons but the 3DS has more shader cores.

And the 3DS downloads over 300 MB of videos in 4 or 5 minutes using Wireless B & G. So they both got 1 GHz CPU with the Vita having 2 more cores then the 3DS, but it's really the GPU making most of the graphics quality in games.

But you can just read from the 3rd Parties themselves:

Even they don't know what makes it look better.
