3DS didn't win, Vita lost.

Nintendo really set themselves up for failure with the 3DS. All their early decisions were wrong, if the Vita had gotten the support promised, it would have been closer, but it got nothing, and continues to get nothing.

Nintendo finally pulls their head out of their rear this year, but now there is no competition. They've already won, and main rush of games is just hitting.

100% this.

In all logic the 3DS should've lost, but then it turned out that the 3DS just had a vastly better library. CoD on Vita being one of the worst reviewed games ever didn't help.

Really hope that Nintendo saw that software support on 3DS is what helped them and not the 3D thing.

I disagree. The 3DS is one of the Nintendo's greatest consoles. The 3D was a huge selling point for me and helps it stand out amongst all the other portable gaming devices. 3D gaming is defintely the future. It's like looking though a window into another world. Luigi's Mansion 2 looks incredible. I feel like I'm in the mansion. The 3DS just had a lack of software at the beginning and was priced a little to high.
