What was the point of the "New" 3DS?

Still, if you consider the price of both the console and games later on, Vita ends up being much, much cheaper! And it's despite having a much higher level of built quality, next gen specs (in comparison) and games costing more to develop. I am willing to pay for quality, but I won't pay extra for lower quality. I know there are some great games there, but I can't justify the price of the 3DS experience. As I've said - I'll get one when they crack it like they did with the DS. I still ended up buying a few DS games I enjoyed the most and will do that with 3DS as well, but no way I'm getting into this system without that.

Are the games so much better on the Vita that you wouldn't wait for it to be hacked before buying it?

And on a portable, are Vita graphics so much more important than 3DS graphics? You're on the go, typically graphics are secondary, and 3DS allows good enough visuals for games like Bravely Default and Fire Emblem. It all depends on how much effort the devs wants to put in.

I'm asking but I realize that everyone has their preferences.

Yes. When I compare Vita and 3DS, it's a difference of a whole generation in quality. 3DS is more like PSP than Vita to me. It looks cheap, has underwhelming visuals, yet costs more than a Vita! That is something I don't accept as a customer and I refuse to support such practice. It's blatantly obvious, that development of 3DS games is cheaper than developing Vita games, so I can't justify the higher price. 3DS experience has to be cheaper than Vita for me to buy it.
