Well, I don't have a 3DS to test this, but I guess they should be at least pretty close. I have a friend with a regular 3DS XL, I will ask him about the battery and see what he thinks of it.
It's a possibility. The Vita has that Near app that warns me of what games people are playing in the vicinities, get bonus items from people close-by and stuff like this, but I don't know how it would compare to 3DS with Streetpass on regarding power consumption. Did you tried to use the 3DS with all connectivity turned off to see how long the battery lasts? Edit: the Vita also seems to wake up 1 or 2 times per hour to sync data with PSN and daily (after midnight) to sync trophies and saves. |
yeah, if you turn streetpass / wifi off you get several days of standby. don't remember exactly now but i think i had it like that for ~3days like that
wifi/wireless is what kills all 'smart' devices (3g modules are usually rated at 500mah i.e.)
