Again... where do you get this? Please do us all a favor and learn to read, all specs above (ARM11 + PICA200) regard to the 3DS.
The PSVita has a completely different GPU-unit: the SGX543MP4+
"SGX543" ist the model, "MP4" = quadcore
  • PowerVR SGXMP variants available as single and multi-core IP 543XT, 544XT, and 554XT series
    • Performance scales 95% linearly with number of cores and clock speed
  • Available in single to 16 core variants
    • SGX543
      • (single core) 35M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (two cores) 68M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (four cores) 133M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (eight cores) 266M polygon/s @200 MHz
      • (sixteen cores) 532M polygon/s @200 MHz

Mpolygon/s, NOT Mtriangle/s

Instead of posting a wall of text, and expecting everyone to read the whole thing, you could have more simply pointed the basics out earlier.

I have 2 Threads of my own that am running, as well as my own personal life as well as new Japanese video games localized to manage.

 

Next time don't make fun of people by saying crap about them base on your own baseless assumptions 24/7.

LOL "wall of text"
How old are you?  I'm sure someone who's at least graduated high school would think that the amount of text there is nothing.  It's quite cut down in fact.

NVIDIA Shield FTW... on that device I can play DS, PSP, GBA, N64, etc... games for free with a great controller and touch screen...

I didn't respond to a specific quote.  I'm talking about pretty much everything you say.  Also, why compare two totally different games?  Kid Icarus: Uprising is in no way comparable to Persona 4 Golden.  I would say the only thing that really is similar between them is that they both are Japanese games.

If I had to choose specs from 3DSbrew.com copy & pasted on other websites, VS. specs from any other websites, then I would choose the latter.

And I thought Persona was mention for quality, not genre.


I'm quite sure posting that P4G picture wasn't him saying "P4G is better than anything on the 3DS, no questions asked."  I think it was more proving a point that the Vita has a great game available.


Actually that is why I posted that picture lol but only as a joke. I do however think P4G is better than the entire 3DS library combine but thats just my opinion which in the grand scheme of things, doesn't matter.


One game is better than an entire library of games? The kind of shit some of you people post...

What I get from that is that he really really loves Persona 4.

In my eyes yes, theres not a whole lot on 3DS that I really like at least until Pokemon comes out. Not saying the 3DS library is bad, far from it in fact but I'd consider P4G the best game I've ever played by a very large margin. I've never connect with a game as much as I have with the Persona games. I'm sorry my opinion is different than yours.

You're missing a lot of 3DS games in each category, and it's also not fair to give equal weight to a 7/10 NFS game to a 8.5/10 Mario Kart game. I think this list is biased because you're including games for PSV which haven't released (Killzone Mercenary), but ignoring upcoming major 3DS games (Zelda, Pokemon, Layton, Ace Attorney, etc)

Killzone is already out in Europe.

Still feels bias to include it and not something big like Pokemon. Even though Killzone is out in Europe, I doubt the author of the thread played it yet. We know Pokemon will be good too, so it's not like we have to question quality.

Plus like I said a lot of great 3DS games were missing like Prof Layton, Ocarina of Time (trumps any other port/remake), and Kingdom Hearts.

Atleast we can agree the "Vita has no gamez" Argument is just about DEAD? Right?

Coming soon:
Tearaway

Already out:
Killzone Mercenary
Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation
Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Soul Sacrifice
Gravity Rush
Little Big Planet PS Vita
Ratchet and Clank: Full Frontal Assault
Unit 13
Resistance: Burning Skies
Persona 4 Golden

When you remove the non-exclusives, the list gets short. Still, PSV has some games, comparable to PSP at launch, just not many quality gems there. Bolded are the only real console pushers which I see.

Main thing is, comparing PSV with 3DS, it's just a different demograph. 3DS will never have a proper Grand Theft Auto, nor a FPS like Call of Duty or Killzone. You're not going to see watered down PS3 ports on the 3DS.

What the 3DS will offer is a lot  more Japanese content, especially the heavy hitters like Pokemon, Monster Hunter, and most SMT/Atlus/Square Enix titles. You're also going to get Mario (lets not start calling 3DS a childs system now though), Zelda, Metroid, and a bunch of other high quality games designed to be played on a handheld from the ground up (like Prof Layton and Ace Attorney).

What I don't see on the PSV, and what bugs me about it is the lack of purpose built handheld games. Killzone, LBP, and Assassin's Creed are nice, but they are watered down console games. They aren't purpose designed handheld games like Pokemon and Fire Emblem are. Most will ignore this, especially because most people just play at home, but I play when I'm outside, and I need a game which I can play for 10-15 minutes, get somewhere, save and put down. I can't do half a mission or have a large sandbox game for that.

You are really low for doing that.  I never said "fanboy."  If I did, I could get banned.  Are you trying to get me banned?

Oh I just talked to Mr. Kahn about that! You can say the word fanboy A OK, just as long as you're not flaming. Like I can say the word "shit," but I can't call you a "shit" head. It's not specifically against the rules to call you a shit head, but I'd be banned for being a douche. It's just all about being nice.

I just read this post, and I wanted to comment. I used to be very active on this forum, and I've had about a dozen people banned on this website while they were arguing with me, while I myself have managed to stick around.

The main rule is be respectful. Don't call someone names, don't even accuse them of being something (I was banned once for telling someone he was acting like a d**k, but he later got banned and then self perma-banned himself because he was so angry LOL).

However always hold your ground in an arguement. People have different opinions, no ones opinion is wrong, no matter how much someone tries to convince you. It's alright to say that you don't like this game for this reason, or that you think this game looks better then this game graphically, or whatever. e.g. for this thread, you can claim Persona 4 Golden is a port of a spin off, and say SMT 4 is better, you can argue it all you like, but you can't call someone a fanboy or a poopiehead because they feel Persona 4 is a better game then SMT 4 (It does have higher reviers).

Everyone has a unique taste in games, the difference in demographs between PSV and 3DS fans is a huge example. The exclusives are just completly different.

You should play Fire Emblem: Awakening and SMTIV. They're also pretty solid in the character department... though Fire Emblem cheats by being part medieval dating simulation.

This list seems to be missing several important 3DS games. Like, you know, the most acclaimed game on the system?

I'm about 20 hours into Fire Emblem and it's easily the best game I've played on the 3DS but the medieval setting is why I just can't really get into it. For some reason i really hate medieval times, how they talk/act and how they dress just pisses me off lol I think thats why I like Persona so much, it's set in present day. As for SMT IV I played it for 30 minutes and got my ass kicked in the tutorial... twice, so I'm going to give it another shot some other time.

Pokemon is the reason I bought my 3DS so i'm sure my opinion will change once it's released.
