Duders, I need some help...
A little background about me. I'm primarily a pc guy - having one hooked up in my living room to play some of the latest/greatest games from the comfort of my couch. I've owned a 360 and a PS3 in the past - but have since sold both. For my portability, I once had a 3ds and really loved the games - but my hands hurt too much when playing it for more than 20 mins. I traded it in toward a VIta - which is now my primary portable device.
Man, I love the vita. It's so great - and theres a ton of indies (albeit, almost all are also available on pc) but the attempts at triple A games are really poor - so much that Sony has recently come out and said that they realize that the vita is for indies.
Jump to about a week ago - I was so pumped from Nintendo's E3 that went out and got a Wii U - and man is this thing neat!
Now because of all of this, I'm thinking of jumping ship again - and picking up a refurb 3DS XL from Nintendo directly for about $135.
Now the actual stats. I'm a somewhat full grown adult in my early 30's with a full time job and living with my girlfriend. She's able to play a little bit on the Wii U with me but I don't see her borrowing my current vita/potential 3ds anytime soon - she's got an ipad and I got her hooked on Hearthstone.
I mostly use my portables when traveling (which isn't frequent) or when lying in bed before bed. Sometimes I'll play on the couch while watching a dumb movie or something - but now I've got the Wii U for that also...
I tend to be the gamer that starts a ton of games - but never quite seems to finish them. The exception to this has been Nintendo. Mario, Mega Man, Pokemon - no matter what I start I seem to see through.
My question to you duders is this - what do you think of my situation?
Should I just shutup, and be happy with what I have? Should I trade in/sell my vita to help fund some of the cost of the 3DS?
Or is this my own problem and I should stop asking the internet what to do?!
Either way I just want to know your opinions.
Edit: With shipping and tax the refurb 3DS XL is just under $150.
