I love the Vita, dat gorgeous screen...loves me Oled, congrats on picking up an awesome handheld.
Recently my bro who owns a Vita also picked up a 3DS XL....man that screen looks bad, low rez destroys the image quality, but man the black levels are poor and colours seems washed out...overall the screen just sucks...yeah 3rd works but the sacrifice wasn't worth it.
The PSvita OS is snappy, and can multi-task quite well, not as well as a smart-phone, but well enough that it doesn't hinder you on a gaming platform....the 3DS XL...what a slow ass OS, it's multi-tasking is...shite, It's like using a smart phone for the longest of times and then using a nokia3210, sure the primary function is the same, but the experience isn't.
I was skeptical at first about the dual mini analogue sticks, but after playing Uncharted golden abyss and resistance burning skies, the sticks almost as good as the DS3 sticks....the 3DS slider, it's better than the PSP but man the dead zone is huge.
The 3DS XL like the Vita looks dam sexy with that gun metal look (I think) but as soon as I opened it...it was all disappointment, honestly, the only thing the 3DS has going for it is games and the fact that it's cheaper than the vita.
Pitty to be honest, the PSvita is an awesome piece of kit, with some really good games, it truly should have more sales, but then again the PSvita is coming up against the king of the handheld market Nintendo, and despite the 3DS's inferior hardware, OS, and the fucked launched, the legacy of Nintendo's name in the handheld market kept it afloat and kept it doing well...but Sony isn't one to give up so easily, and the PSvita will live and have great games and with the release of the PS4 all that remoteplay goodness will make the PSvita even more awesome.
My 2 cents.
