Won't be any time soon, MAYBE this July, but that's as soon as it's going to get.
What are some good exclusives for the two?


Also, unless I find my lost DS Lite, the 3DS has the advantage so far.

I prefer the 3DS I haven't seen a lot of good news from the PS Vita, and plus it's so new there isn't a lot of games. But with the 3DS it's been out long enough for it to have some decent games.

3DS vs Vita

I would totally get a Vita. I have a 3DS but... It's not that great.

Vita, I am so sorry that I am not able to explain fully, as I am rather busy right now.

If someone else fails to make a wall, I shall do so later.

I feared this was the case.

Plus I just realized it's $250, which is way out of my preferred price range considering at that price I can get a 3DS and about 3-4 games.

I own both a 3DS XL and a PS Vita

there's no way I could recommend the 3DS over the Vita though. The Vita just has so many more interesting games, the hardware's power will help it last for a long time, the build quality is unmatched, the screen is gorgeous ... It's easily my favourite handheld

also I'd love to play Soul Sacrifice with you, I need as many people as possible to get that so I can take out the stronger monsters. Anyway, the choice is really down to whichever has the most games you want on it. I just said why I prefer the Vita, but you'll have to make the decision yourself

significant games on each device:

3DS
Mario 3D Land
Zelda: OOT 3D
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
Pokemon X/Y
Theatrhythm: Final fantasy
entire DS library

Vita
Persona 4 Golden
WipEout 2048
AC3: Liberation
Soul Sacrifice
Gravity Rush
LittleBigPlanet
most of the PSP library

any more questions on either, just ask me. After all, I own and have played a substantial amount of both

Get 3DS, they are cheaper and have a better range of games.

I would not get a 3DS because, it breaks too easy. The L and R buttons break, the plus pad breaks and most of the games are for kids. Trust me I have a 3DS.

I may end up getting both, actually. This is just which I'm getting first. But where do you see a $160-$200 Vita? The cheapest ones I can find on Amazon are a $250 model and a Black Ops: Declassified model for $250 as well.

Also thanks for suggesting some games.

"But where do you see a $160-$200 Vita?"

look in the 'used' section, don't fret though, the descriptions list them as being in good condition

once again, feel free to ask me questions about either, I need a reason to avoid doing art coursework

It seems that the used models do not come with a memory card. I assume I'd need one of these...? (Excuse my stupidity when it comes to handhelds)

But of course, it depends on your opinion about the manufacturer, and the games. I know your not the biggest Sony fan compared to others on the VGF. (Iron) And your not the biggest Nintendo fan either. But in the end it's your choice, choose wisely.

memory cards are expensive, that's the huge downside for the Vita

but you'd only need a 4GB card if you intend to buy retail copies. You'd be able to store some demos, music, apps, etc. I have a 32GB card (which was damn expensive) but I got it so it'll last me a long time and I can download a lot

I'm fairly neutral about the manufacturers, actually.


I'm more-so concerned about the games.

So far I've found more 3DS games that interest me, so I'm leaning towards it.

Plus it comes in purple. (Don't judge me)

to answer your question, yes you need a memory card, or else you won't be able to save game data

Eh, It's still not bad pricing. Used Vita + Shipping + 4GB Memory Card = about $200

Kind of a downside though, especially considering that money could be used for games.

fair enough

may I ask which games you're interested in on 3DS and Vita, and what your favourite genres/preferred genres are?

that way I can set you up with more games on each

I'd PREFER the console itself to be as cheap as possible, but I guess it doesn't really matter so long as it's under $200. But again, I'd prefer it to be as cheap as possible so I can at least get a few games with it.


@Piratyy

I really like every genre. Currently browsing Amazon for games for each system to see which has more that catches my eye.
