I hate the Vita, but i think it'll go against Nintendo 3DS very well. I think the 3DS is better tho.

Name one way that the 3DS is better than PSV.

3D without glasses
dual screens
stylus for precision
first party games
Streetpass
Spotpass

I can't see this thread ending well. 4 posts in and it's already turning to a 3ds vs. Vita thread.

1. As opposed to Vita's 3D that requires glasses?
2. Because two screens is better than one right...
3. Having not used the Vita i can't say for sure but i doubt there will be any issues because it lacks a stylus, i very rarely use my stylus on my 3DS anyway.
4. Well it is personal opinion whether those first-party games are better than Sony's but the difference with PSV is that it isn't going to rely as heavily on first-party titles as the 3DS.
5. It's a cool feature for the 3DS but PSV not having it is no big deal.
6. I could be wrong but surely PSV has something similar to this, you really don't want to compare PSV's online functionality to that of the 3DS it'll just be embarrassing.

I'm just so happy about the dual sticks. There are many games that I can't play because of the terrible camera, and I hate having to use the touchscreen/gyroscope to aim/adjust the camera, so the Vita is perfect in regards to the controls. I'm still hoping that many Japanese only PSP titles are localized as Vita games. I don't want to miss out on FF Type-0 and it would work much better on the Vita than the PSP.

1. As in 3D vs 2D
2. Yeah Ocarina of Time 3D and Resident Evil Mercs should have taught you that.
3. Things like writing and other things which require pinpoint precision are better with a stylus.
4. I wasn't talking about Nintendo having better first party games than Sony but the fact that the 3DS has games which Vita doesn't.
5. Just another thing Vita doesn't have didn't say it was great.
6. It has Near which allows you to track people online quite different from Spotpass. Comparing online with Spotpass is very different.

But like the poster above said this doesn't need to become a thread about Vita vs 3DS I just wanted to point out that the 3DS has things that the Vita doesn't.

Just one question for all you Vita fans, what the HECK is a "touchpad" doing on the back of the Vita? what would you use that for? And, wouldn't it get in the way when you're playing a game?

It's there for an additional method of control. No, it wouldn't. The Vita has two grips for a reason.
