In which of the sections will you discuss price and relative value?

Misc., I guess. All of the stuff that wouldn't fit anywhere else. I'll be checking the comments (hope it gets a lot of comments) for things like that--as well as future potential and throwing it all into that category.

At this point in time, I predict 3DS will take the games section because MK7, SM3DL, and RE:R

Final Verdict (Hardware Design): It's just a more modernly designed and more functional system, right out of the box.

Both systems are near identical to their predecessors. Are you still talking about the hardware here?

I'm so confused, am I watching something unfold?

Just an in depth comparison by a self indulgent old man. I don't have as much spare time as I used to and I'm a little long winded so I'm just posting a little each day. Feel free to help me out, though. As much as I love my Vita and 3DS, I'll admit that I don't know everything there is to know about both systems. If there's something important that you think I can add, leave me a comment. I'll gladly fit it in there, somewhere!

I did. Talked about your concerns on Near. My source, the Official Playstation Blogcast.

Changes have been made. Thanks, man!

I disagree, at least as far as the 3DS goes. The hinges are extremely wobbly, the D-pad and Start/Select/Home buttons are awkwardly positioned, and there have been widespread reports of the screens getting damaged simply through routine use. Also, the resolution on DS games is...different. On the flipside, the circle pad is quite effective at achieving its goal, and the notification light is a elegant touch.

Either way someone isn't going to like you for something. Just go for it. Isn't this based solely on your opinion?

It is. And I already know who's going to win which category and so forth. It would take something of a revelation to change my mind on them. Like I said in the original thread, it's not really about who wins or loses. I just wanted to make what I feel is an honest comparison. A couple of people asked me on Swapnote, my PS3, and my VGChartz wall if I'd make a comparison. Hell, one guy even asked me on Twitter!

Can't please everybody.
