current score: figured out that screenshot feature of vita so, vita 68%,3ds 32%.



if you own another Sony's console (ps3 or ps4) psvita is a great choise. I mean, the value of psn plus when you own more than one system is just ridiculous.

I JUST OWN A PC NOW!!!!!



I own both. It really depends on YOU. Pokemon alone made a 3DS a must have for me, so I got one when the XL first came out, knowing we'd get a pokemon game eventually. I have all the major games for the system and it's a great system. 3D land, Mario Kart 7 and the Zeldas are definite must haves. I also recommend the tremendously fun Dillon's Rolling Western from the EShop.

However, the Vita gives you so much value with playstation plus that it will eventually save you alot of money over time. I still buy alot of games, but I've discovered so many other games thanks to the amazing service. You can even log into your account at playstation.com and "download" ps3 and ps4 games that are free with ps plus, you don't even need to own the console. Then when you do eventually get the system, you'll be able to download and play ALL of those games. I'm looking forward to getting a PS4 so I can remote play assassin's creed 4, Watch Dogs, Infamous and Thief while lounging around the house. Wish they'd port over GTA V... To top it off, Tearaway and Killzone are kickass by the way.

Both systems have so much going for them. It really comes down to which one you prefer.



By the way! 3DS XLs are currently $150 at target! So if you're going to get one, now is the time to buy. Missed a great deal on Amazon from yesterday! The 3g/wifi vita walking dead bundle with digital download codes for uncharted, sly cooper and retro city rampage was $175. Best deal I've ever seen for a vita.

watched gameplay videos of pokemon x/y,tearaway and animal crossing new leaf.pokemon looks good but tearaway looks great and animal crossing=over the top.i have to change scores again.for pokemon and specially animal crossing this: vita=52%,3ds=48%.



Get Vita for AAA quality titles of all kind, Indies, PS4 remote play and more innovative games in future along with great saving with PS+ and free games.

 

Get 3DS for nintendo games and JRPGS.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Screw it just get a Vita. Support those indies! Also, you can't go wrong with Playstation Plus



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

'When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called the people's stick'- Mikhail Bakunin

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

3ds has pokemon

/endthread



honestly, at this point, i'd get a 3ds over a vita any day.
I'm honestly just afraid of vita's long-term support and it's current roster of games isn't that expansive either.
