Vita owner here. Nobody in my family ever owned an original Xbox. But I played at some acquaintances house's sometimes. Plus some third-party titles for Xbox I've played on GameCube, PS2, or PC.

With all that in mind, I'd probably say an original Xbox. I played the KOTOR duology on PC and they're amazing. You also have the original Lego Star Wars games and the original Star Wars Battlefront games. Not to mention other games.

As someone who has little investment in either console, the Xbox.

The Xbox was an important stepping stone in the evolution of game consoles. It featured PC-like hardware that allowed for easier ports of PC games, an emphasis on online capabilities, a built-in hard drive, patching software digitally, etc. The PlayStation 4 and 5 have more in common with the Xbox than the PS2.

Just as importantly, the Xbox was able to take advantage of this with its library. It had PC-like hardware, so you got console exclusive ports of PC games like Morrowing and Knights of the Old Republic. You had online play, and games that took good advantage of it like Halo 2 and Counterstrike. You even had the ability to run pretty much anything on the PS2, and thus the Xbox got plenty of multiplatform games despite its fairly low sales.

As for the Vita... it had a second analog stick, so you could play a stripped down version of Uncharted on the go? And sometimes the best version of games ported from the PS2?

Xbox for sure. I have three set up for LAN Halo which is still a blast today.

I never even bought a Vita.

Yes I'm a living sometimes heavy breathing fap lie detector.

Bad ports and shovel ware doesn't mean good support. 

No dedicated god of war game, Gran Turismo vita game or even dDiveclub, no use of ratchet and clank IP or other big IPs getting smaller vita versions other than ports of old games or "just use crossplay".

Uncharted golden abyss was great and it just needed more of that. 

The whole premises is off the common denominator used to justify the poll is just about the only thing they do have in common, even the PS1 vs Original Xbox has way more touch points to spark debate than this I feel Curl needs a new hobby.

Would be interested in hearing from more Vita voters, so far one has chimed in.

The poll is considerably less one sided than the posts.

Oooh, that's a toughie. I love both a lot. However, Xbox has Jet Set Radio Future. Shenmue II. Panzer Dragoon Orta. Phantom Dust. Metal Wolf Chaos. Otogi 1-2. I gotta go Xbox here. Even tho in 8 years my Vita works perfectly and had two OG Xbox systems die on me.

Soul Sacrifice (1st party), Tearaway, Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Killzone Mercenary?

Besides, majority of vita games not too good but not completely shovelware either. 

Also, Wii has a ton of shovelwares too.

I assume based off your post (you would know better than me anyway) that the gap between poll numbers and supporting posts is wider than usual, if so I would put it down to the disparity of both consoles across a number of fronts making it harder to make a more concise argument for Vita than just using generalities like I prefer it because of more jrpgs it's portability suits me etc.

Where with say the PS1 vs Xbox you have a lot more scope in regards to finding equivalent or near equivalent points to use to push your side or counter/offset available giving both sides a clearer path for debate, and driving engagement something that the more disparare natures of Vita vs Xbox makes much harder to do.
