Is the 3ds really that much better than Vita?

Well according to 3Dbrew the 3DS has two dual-core ARM11 CPU running @268Mhz and a single core DMP PICA GPU tagged at 268Mhz with 2x 64MB FCRAM and an independent 6MB SoC VRAM. This produces visuals almost to the same level as a Wii with more modern shaders and effects. The Vita has more RAM and more modern CPU and GPU but the diffrence because of the smaller screen isn't that drastic. It's similar to PS2 vs original Xbox IMHO so far.

In the end it's about games and the 3DS has a more diverse library compared to the Vita.

No way lol. PSV is almost a generational leap above 3DS. The best 3DS game (Resident evil) is easily outclassed by most of the Vita's lineup. Plus 3DS is only 400*240 while Vita is 960*544. That's a huge difference!

Fully agree with this though "In the end it's about games and the 3DS has a more diverse library compared to the Vita".
