This is a Great Time to Buy a Vita

By Zero Time Dilema, I meant that it was also a Vita game.

As for all that's coming out are niche Japanese games. Yeah, no lol. That's why I figured you probably weren't too up on the Vita catalogue.

Hitman, Assassin's Creed, XCOM and Civilization have all seen releases this year on Vita. Add in some more indie gems like OddWorld: New 'n' Tasty, Severed and Axiom Verge. And I don't think Western software has been too badly represented so far in 2016 on Vita.

Assasins Creed is the Chronicles, which are not good games as far as I know, Xcom is a port of a game that is some years old.Oddworld, Axiom Verge and Severed have all released in other platforms.And for me, I feel its a better experience playing some of the games mentioned in the other platform(more especifically on consoles, since Im more of a console gamer).Im not as versed as you about its lineup, but I am well informed.There is also World of FF comming, and dragon quest builders which seems like good games.But as I said, its not exclusive and for me at least, the experience in the other platforms appeal to me more.

That's fair enough, I only got so into the handheld gaming because my Office moved, and it was taking me nearly 2 hours each way to get too and from work. Vita gave me access to games I wanted to play on the move, but then I could hit save, and switch onto the PS3 when I did get home.

I think it has to be said for the 3DS, a big part of it's draw, isn't so much it's hardware, but it's exclusive software. Which as your post suggests, should Nintendo go down a unified platform route, would for the most part make the handheld iteration redundant.

Vita is more of a "Portable" PlayStation. While 3DS is a separate entity in itself. I figure this rather than actual quality of the overall software is the biggest factor in the installbase difference.
