...If you're a kid, are you going to buy the system with Playstation Vita Pets, Little Big Planet, PSASBR, and Ratchet and Clank, or are you going to buy the system with Nintendogs, Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Lego City Undercover, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, Donkey Kong Country, Style Savvy, etc?  ...


they also have sly, tearaway, jak and daxter, rayman (ok, also on 3ds), mickey and some good psn games which should appeal to younger gamers...

it has a pretty good lineup i'd say!


Rayman is available on the 3DS as well as everything else, and it's not really a system seller.  Epic Mickey didn't sell well on any system, and 3DS has an Epic Mickey too.  The sly cooper franchise, judging by its sales, are not relevant to kids or anyone else.  Jak and Daxter collection will appeal to fans of the franchise, but those fans are long grown by now.  I haven't seen enough of Tearway to really judge.  If you honestly think this can compete with the 3DS's lineup then.... well, you're wrong.

Rayman Legends is coming to 3DS? This argument is fantastic. Why did anyone ever buy more than one console? Not everyone has the same tastes in gaming. Kids with ps3s will be more interested in Sony franchises.

On this logic why did anyone ever buy any system? Because a previous one always had more games.

First off, he was talking about Rayman Origins which was clear since he mentioned it was on the 3DS.  And lets not pretend Rayman is a system seller for any console

A lot of people, especially kids who don't have monies, are going to choose one system over the other.  In that case, for most kids (especially the kind that would be into Sonydogs) would clearly choose the 3DS.

But take the 3DS out of the equation, and the point stil stands.  People buy multiple consoles, because the consoles have multiple games (typically exclusives or at least games that aren't available on older or more popular console) that they like.  The Vita does not have a good library of kids games, with or without Sonydogs, so they won't buy the system.  If you don't believe me, look at the Vita's sales.
