While it's a similar situation, I don't think the Vita is quite that doomed. Once the Vita gets games, the sales will follow.

The main thing i see working in the Vita's favor is it has the potential to live a much longer life than the 3DS, if Sony continue to support it for many years and it gets those damn games. That's of course assuming mobile hasn't destroyed handheld gaming by then ^^;


I think you got that the other way around. Looking at sales the future of the Vita looks quite bleak in contrast to the 3DS.  Besides I have yet to really see a game on the Vita that totally blows the best of 3DS has to offer.

No, I don't at all ^^ My point is that the 3DS is going to age pretty quickly (It's sales are already slowing). As I said, this assumption is based on the Vita managing to get a stable game library, which it currently doesn’t have. If it does that, coupled with its tech being advanced enough to keep it relevant for a very long time, it has the potential to outlive the 3Ds by a fair few years.

You aren’t serious about your second statement are you? I refuse to believe someone could say that with a straight face :P here is some footage of Killzone: Mercenary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS8ytlSkVw0
I would love for you to find me any game that looks even 1/2 as good. We can even ignore how Killzone is in 720p, just find me one that looks that good when played at the same resolution :P

I should note that I don't own a Vita, but do own a 3DS (two actually, upgraded to the XL). I have no bias in handheld arguments, am just pointing out how absurd your second point was.

As a Vita owner, I know the Vita has an ultra sharp screen but I don't think I've seen anywhere that the Vita can run ANYTHING at 720p.  I don't think the screen is capable.  I could be wrong, though.
