I haven't done a direct comparison like I normally do and I haven't checked online but I feel that the Vita haz a better battery life than the New Nintendo 3DS (which is MUCH better than my old 3DS). Both are acceptable, though. In my opinion, of course.

In any event, we will all know for sure in about a week! Can't wait!

Are you sure? I've always seen people with 3DS having their batteries lasting longer. Maybe the Vita has a more efficient sleep mode so it seems like it lasts longer. I would like to have a bit more, but it seems enough to me, definitively much more than my phone (with a 3600 mah battery) can do.

I would like to see how Switch will do with an online game. I'm thinking it is, right now, a bit underwhelming.

When the original 3DS launched, I bet someone on this site (can't remember who) avatar control or sit control or something that it would have better battery life than the "PSP 2". I was so wrong! Luckily, they never called me on the bet.

Historically, Nintendo always had better battery life than the competition but, at the expense of power. Not with 3DS! For me, the NN3DS was a huge improvement but, like I said, I never did a comparison. Unlike the original, I can turn the New 3DS off and the battery won't be dead after a few days.

 

I got a little wordy just to say: "My case is anecdotal. May not apply to everyone. I do have a New 3DS and a Vita, though."
