well-then you don't really need this thread as buying decision as as you logically should tend to vita.

I liked Nintendo very much in the n64 -time.Great games,good graphics.

But since than they are on the wrong path.Abandoned too many good IP's why almost no new Core ip's since pikmin.

I'm tired of playing marios again and again+ bad graphics and rip off with perpetually new redesigned handhelds.

I bought the Gameboy Advance=unplayable without lots of light ,because no backlight in the system.Was forced to buy Gameboy advanced SP.Now i had backlight but still unplayable as long as your hands are not the size of a five year old girl.

Than DS,bad design-a brick,almost not portable-forced to buy DSi(still no analog)

finally 3DS,but only one stick.I was 100% sure that Nintendo will very soon release a revised bigger version of the 3DS as this is part of their Ripp off Strategy but i didn't care as I hoped they will integrate the second analog stick as the 3DS XXL  with a circle pro pad would be bigger than a japanese Villa.But they decided not to implement the second stick-that's when they lost me in handheld gaming.

They lost me with consoles when they didn"t implemented an achievement/trophy system for Wii U though Nintendo Exclusives are games with the most replay value and collecting addiction.I've been waiting for this since Donkey kong country where you could achieve 101%.Another thing was:no analog triggers on wii U.WTF,no racing games?-that's when i realised that they'll sacrifice anything just to save a penny in production.

You get Vita if you want to experience new IP's and gameplay with different controls like never before. See the games like Tearaway, Gravity rush, Dokuro and Murasaki baby and many to come in future, ports like Flower and Flow. Console games like Uncharted, Little big planet, Rayman, Killzone, Super Stardust, Sly, WipeOut, Soul sacrifice etc, Japan RPGS, Good finghters., And PS4 remote play, PS3(Gaikai streaming) Cross-game chat, Browser, good media capabilities, PC Indie games, PS+ free games, savings with Cross-buy, clould saves, Cross-saves,QHD Screen(OLED), dual analogsticks and Playstation Classics(PSone and PSP). 

Vita has the capablity, potential to devliver content and games like no other device can in future and its long way to go along with PS4 and Gaikai streaming. You get more than you paid for this device in the coming years and like this device as the top Handheld which provides diversity in Games, experiences, media entertainment and Console quality.

i take money strictly.so i will end up buying either one.3ds was leading yesterday.cause more games,more exclusives,cheap memory cards.but vita is rising because: ps store is better than eshop,lots of multiplatform,psn trophies,memory cards dont matter.
