3DS had the games that I want and that's all that matters to me



Since I prefer RPG its Vita for me. Beside, 3DS has blockbusters, but in total, only a handful. I prefer more good game over a handful of blockbusters. Particularly considering those blockbusters (see all mario and zelda title), doesnt interest me. With that said, even if they would be of interest to me, I still would prefer more good game over a handful of blockbusters.



I guess I should chime in about my decision. While both systems have games that interest me, I feel the Vita has more. It's the amount of games that have been announced for the system, plus the integration with the PS3 that makes me want it.

Pfft, you obviously meant Vita, silly.

I would say the Vita, although the expensive memory cards are a huge con for me. Hopefully Sony decides to sell some bundles, so the prices become less outrageous.



Some of the posts in this thread are beginning to push against the boundaries of the rules.

It's fine to state a preference, in terms of both what you like about your preferred system and what you dislike about the other one, but comments like "the gaming lineup is crap" and "it's a worthless system" (those two haven't cropped up yet; they are just examples) are not acceptable.

In short, criticism based on facts is fine; relentless platform bashing is not.

The price of Vita itself, everywhere outside North America, is pretty outrageous. It costs £230 ($363) to the 3DS' £140 ($221), where in America, it is $250 to $170.

Some markup is normal, due to import prices and higher sales taxes, so the 3DS' price is fine, but charging damn near an extra 50% is not okay. I hope that Sony realises that soon.

Same here, but even just as far as which will prove more successful I believe 3DS will be the victor.

I hope they both do well, though.  As I've said before, long live dedicated game handhelds!
