Wealthy Vita owner's, what would get you to want a less powerful 3ds?

I guess I'm a wealthy Vita owner, because I have both :P

Here's my take on the situation. Vita is a beautiful (if a little overpowered) piece of hardware, sleek and smooth. The OLED screen, as many have said, is gorgeous. Plus it has a few gems: Gravity Rush, Wipeout 2048, and a bunch of multi-platform indie titles like Retro City Rampage and Guacamelee!

Technically speaking, the 3DS is inferior. It doesn't really have anything to compare to that pretty screen or the nuts and bolts inside. But it doesn't need anything. It's got games. Great games, from many different genres, from many different studios. It's got a nifty 3D effect that actually enhances gameplay in some titles, like Pilotwings Resort and Super Mario 3D Land. It's backwards compatible, a huge plus for fans who missed out on the enormous DS library. And, importantly, it has a Virtual Console with a bunch of classic NES and Game Boy titles available for download. So, to me, the 3DS is the better, more complete system.

But if you have the means, the time, and the energy to purchase and play both, I definitely recommend it. They serve as nice complements to one another.
