My First Impressions of the 3DS

The 3DS isnt crappy at all, but its only a games console, its not a multi-media device. Its not meant to compete with phones at all, and it shows (unlike the Vita).

I will admit i enjoy the Vita more because of those extra features, but also because i like the games. I love both consoles though, but i am completely hooked on the Vita and i am pleased with the 3DS, if you can understand the difference.

The 3DS eshop has been getting better though, and i recently got Heroes of Ruin for 25 euros. I also spoted RE mercenaries 3D for only 10 euros and revelations for 30. Nintendo needs to keep heading into that path to make the shop more vibrant. Discounts are essential.

You're right, the 3DS is a game machine and it does a great job of that.  As for doing anything beyond, I don't even use any of the Vita's extra features as I also have an iPad which does the other things better anyway.
