3DS or Vita

3DS. We've already seen this war before if you even want to call it that.

Nintendo put all it's eggs in the basket of 3D, going along with the market push. As it turns out this time 3D is going to have a slow penetration. It won't be until 3D is attached to every flat screen sold in stores.

What the fuck are you talking about? The 3DS has its own 3D screen. I have no idea as to how the number of people owning 3D TVs has anything to do with 3DS sales.

3DS because 2 major reasons  1- It is a DS with better graphcis and 3D support  2- I really don't give a crap about playing console games on a 6" Screen. Seriously. I'lll get the Vita some day when unique stuff come out but the games they are showing..Uncharted..rather play on PS3, Modantion, don't give a crap about it, Tekken vs SF...gonna play on PS3/360.    It's one of the reaonss i preferred DS over PSP. I don't want to sound like a fanboy but i hope people understand my point. The only amazing thing about he VITa is the 3G support and Price is really low. Nothing else excites me.

Vita because the games they have shown are great and the hardware is obviously good and the price is a steal. Gravity Daze, Sound Shapes, Hot Shots Golf, Dragon's Crown and LittleBigPlanet all seem like a lot of fun. Having the second analog stick is great as well because it removes all the so-called boundaries and limits of what a handheld game should be. Vita is in the perfect position to provide me with a wide variety of genres. In a battle of the gimmicks, two touch screens provides more gameplay functionality than 3D and one touch screen does. Also, the online on Vita will just be better, which is nice. No eShop though...

I've never been this excited about a handheld system before. I also want to play all the PSP games I missed out on.

i'm digging the Vita more than the 3ds at this point.

GAME has it for £230 for the none 3g and £280 for the 3GIG. VERY very good price.

I have just pre ordered a PSV (wifi only model) off Amazon.co.uk for £229.99 as I expect the retail price to rise to £250 in the UK around launch time.The fact that the Vita has two proper analog sticks, great graphics and no noisy UMD disc drive are all big selling points for me!

Neither, I'm still rocking my Gameboy Micro bitches. 

Vita for sure. Nintendo has just..I don't know it really just doesn't appeal to me in my adult years. Also, I never understood the PSP hate? I bought one in March of this year and enjoy it quite a bit. I think it has a lot of great games for it.

The Vita looks like it might be cool. The 3DS thusfar isn't.

Vita all the way. I got a NES, with duck tails, Metal gear, mega man 2, battle toads, and SMB 3. WTF do I need to a 3DS for?

The Vita has kind of sold me, or rather Ken Levine has. I know it's the same PSP trap, but I still kind of want one.

Nothing about the 3DS looks appealing to me. It needs some games I give a shit about, not Nintendo rehashes.

That press conference made me switch back to the 3DS side, I NEED TO DECIDE SOON!

The Nintendo press conference made me decide against the 3DS for now. I though that the Mario 3DS game was the only one that looked interesting for 3DS.

This is the PSP/DS thing all over again. Problem with Vita is they will try to put console experiences on a handheld and that just doesn't work for me. 3DS all the way, especially with all the great games coming out by years end.

I don't care about 3D, and I think the Vita is a better device than the 3DS, but I seldom play my PSP anymore, and I don't actually have a Wii, so my DS is the only nintendo I get. This sounds ridiculous, but I might get a 3DS because of its lower graphical capabilities (more developers are forced to use 2D, which leads to different experiences from home consoles) and the clamshell design. 

Both for me more than likely. Probably get the 3DS first.

Vita has Wipeout 2048, but 3DS has Luigi's Mansion 2.

GODDDDD, this is just like the time the PS2 had Wipeout Fusion and the Gamecube had Luigi's Mansion.

I picked the PS2, just so you know.

@tekshow: The nintendo press conference was a pretty good indication that they are not going to be focusing primarily on 3D, I agree that they showed some solid games. I'm not worried about the 3D aspect because there is an off switch. I decided on getting both handhelds and I highly doubt Nintendo will drop the price in the same year that they launched the 3DS because it will look too reactionary.

Neither, but leaning more towards Vita.

Always preferred the PSP meself.

I'm going to wait until they both have a good amount of games to choose from then I'll decide. Also I've never really cared about most Nintendo games so that makes me naturally lean more towards the Vita. 

Both, but i'm more inclined towards the Vita

Whichever gets a Disgaea or Persona game first.

I'll probably end up with both since I have a 3DS already. So far, it has been disappointing because all the good software is still a ways off. But, by the time Vita comes out, the 3DS will already have a solid foundation. The Vita looks very promising, and if Sony delivers exactly what was promised, it could easily be the better of the two. But for now, I'd give Nintendo a slight edge. Historically, their handhelds always dominate, always have the best software and support, and Nintendo's first party titles alone are worth buying a 3DS for. 

Just gonna save for a tablet.  Yep, I'm that guy.

I got a DS over a PSP because it had games that offered a different experience than what I could get from my consoles, while it felt the PSP simply shrunk the console experience into a portable format. A lot of the 3DS games are console experiences shrunk down into a portable format with 3D and touch controls tacked on (MGS). Vita, while no doubt will have console experiences in portable format too (Uncharted), is now able to offer me those different experiences much like the DS did, but with better graphics than it and the 3DS.

I'll get a Vita first, but I'll probably get a 3DS eventually - after a price drop or two.

Had you asked me before Luigi's Mansion 2 was announced, I'd have said Vite- now, I'm not so sure.

Vita, Vita, Vita!
