I agree with most of the Game Review Scores but the Vita itself score is way too high.


what are your reasons for saying that?

 

Anyone know what they gave the 3DS?

What Rol said, it was in the low 7s. The VITA should be around that too; they both were the same price, they both aren't that portable, they both had a few games at launch, and they both had their issues.

If 3DS was in 7s then 8.5 is the lowest Vita should be getting considering for the same launch price it's better in everything except number of screens

We all have our own opinions, I don't agree.

So in what metric 3DS is better than Vita ?

I didn't find any differece in one being better than the other, they both had there ups and downs while launching. As does ever other console at launch.

IGN's Review made no sense especially when they barely addresed the size of the VITA. They were all over the 3DS size and then started to complain that it was hard to fit into a jeans pocket and it looked odd. The VITA's portability is the one that IGN should question; it is very large and has those thumb sticks that would cause portability to be an issue. I just don't agree with it. Plain and simple. I'm not going to get into a huge arguement with you over this but not because I don't have anything to back my statements up, but because I really shouldn't have to explain why I think that, the reason is pretty obvious. Go on with your own view while I go on with mine.



FIFA will be the best selling VITA game in Europe.



I trust no one, not even myself.

I think Uncharted should have get a 9/10



To those complaining about hardware score, you do need to understand that 3DS set the standard. It launched at $250 and for that price you got the following.

3D
1 Circle Pad
Single Touch Resistive Touchscreen
2 Shoulder Buttons
4 face Buttons
2nd Screen (No touch capabilites)
D-Pad


For PSVita you pay $250 at launch and you get:

2 Analog Sticks
Multitouch Capacitive Touchscreen on front
Multitouch Touchpad on Back
2 Shoulder Buttons
4 Face Buttons
D-Pad
Much more advanced graphical capabilities
Fully featured Online complete with trophies and cross game chatting (Nintendo didn't even launch with the E-Shop and/or Web browser).


Regardless of what some may think, when it comes to the kinds of games that can be played, there isn't much that puts them both at the point where one could say the 3DS is on par capability wise when pitted against the Vita.

Now people use backwards compatibility as an arguing point and yes that could be valid, but while it lacks a UMD ( which if anyone here remembers, it was a HUGE complaints amongst gamers with the PSP, only to now be used as a con for the Vita...), it still has backwards compatibility, even if people try to spin it to make it seem as if it doesn't. Regardless though, this is a review on hardware, not games software and Vita is no doubt a much more feature packed device then the 3DS and rightfully so recieves a higher score.

If you want to go software route though eventually Vita owners will argue that their handheld can wirelessly stream gaming from the big boy console, which is something the 3DS is incapable of doing, not to mention at launch it has a bigger lineup, not just retail, but also digital in regards to the Vita PSN shop.


3DS got a 7.5 by the way, not to mention it came to market lacking it's E-Shop, Web browser and DSiWare transfers. I guess we all forget about how it launched missing key features.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Pezus, in my mind your are absolutely wrong. It is way to high of a score.

Now you're saying it's absolute, but you just said it was your opinion before? Besides, I don't think you've tried it yet...I haven't either but I'll trust those who have tried it more than those who have not.

I said in my mind, Pezus.



Has there been a Gran Turismo Vita announced?
