3DS is set up for a truly stellar year with Fire emblem and Luigi's Mansion already out, and Donkey Kong Country Returns, Link to the Past 2, Pokemon X/Y, and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team coming out throughout the rest of the year.

Honest question, what does Vita have to match that? I know about Killzone, Tearaway, and Soul Sacrifice, and I suppose you could add Sly Cooper if we added Donkey Kong to the 3DS's lineup, but that's it. Not nearly enough to combo the 1-2-3 punch of Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Pokemon.

I think that you're looking at this from a wrong angle. The reason why I have Vita and not 3DS is because 3DS is getting all those games you've mentioned. I really can't stomach another Zelda, Mario... and I know that I'm not alone in this.

I agree to some extent. Pretty much every single 3DS game is just "ok" for me and I know I would enjoy many of them, but there isn't a single game on the platform that screams "must have" and that makes me feel excited. That's why I'm much happier with Vita, since there is a couple of must have titles for me here :)

Still,I have to admit that this year's schedule isn't really all that awesome. Where are Bioshock Vita, GTA Vita, TES Vita, GoW Vita and other heavy hitters? We really should be hearing about these games at this point. For crying out loud - the console has been out for 1.5 year and the only good FPS game is Stanger's Wrath!! And this console was supposed to be big with FPS games. Thankfully we've got a few good TPP games, like U:GA, GR and ACIII:L. Still, we could have a game or two more in this genre as well. I feel a strong lack of FPS and RPG games on the console. I especially miss a a good Western RPG like The Witcher, Dragon Age, Kingdoms of Amalur, etc. We need more than we get and Sony has to convince 3rd parties to develop such games. Hopefully we'll get some info about these games on E3... I'm hoping that we're going to get more for Christmas than just a new CoD and new AC.
