PlayStation Vita discussion thread

You know why 3DS is not better or worse than Vita?
Because games make a console,not the hardware.
And games are a matter of preference so you cannot say its better as a fact.

I kinda don't like the back touch pad because it makes the vita more fragile.

are you forgetting about Near on the ps vita? IMO that's going to be better than streetpass. first party goes to sony, dual screens ( idk why that's better than having 1 big 5 inch OLED screen) isn't better, and with the vita's capacitive touchscreen, you don't need a stylus, and you have your dual analog stick for precision.

true, but look what's happened to the 3ds cause of it's underpowered hardware. devs don't want to make games for it, it lacks functions/features found on even mp3 players nowadays.

Not exactly true, they didn't want to make games for it because of lack of masses. Look what happened with modern warfare 3

no, it's cause they have the more powerful vita todevelop for, and easier to develop for vita. look at the wii, it sold ALOT, but all they made was shovel ware. more consoles doesn't mean more quality games. it actually kinda means more shovel ware, especially in nintendo consoles.( since they have it bad with the 3rd parties)

it can be used as at l2/r2 buttons, plus you can use it to interact with the environments in games without taking your attention away from the screen. when sony was making the vita, they sat down with all of their 3rd party devs and they asked the devs what they wanted to be on the vita. most devs said dual analog stick, the back touchpad, and alot of RAM.

The wii was the wii, in fact there were a lot of great 3rd party games. But developers just wanted to flock towards the ps3 and 360. The vita may have more power, but when it comes down to it, thats not going to make developers not develop for the 3ds. Activision developed for the ds instead of the 3ds, and which has more power?

Hey guys seriously we already got one warning don't get this thread locked.

Anyways I'm debating over whether or not I want to import the Vita or not. It depends on when the US release is, and how much it'll cost to get it from play-asia.

cause the ds is easier to develop for, that's why. and there is a reason that the developers wanted to flock to the ps3 and 360. and yeah, it's not just hte fact that vita has more power that's going to make the devs want to develop for it rather than the 3ds, it's that nintendo and 3rd party devs don't really see eye to eye, that's another main reason. oh, and the vita was actually created with alot of ideas from the devs, which makes it a very dev friendly system.and alot of great 3rd party games for the wii? what kind of games do you consider to be "great" games?

yeah just wait and see what the play-asia price is. if it's an okay price, I would import it if I were you, there is no region locking or anything to worry about.

and let's continue this through PM, szayel, i don't want to get banned again lol

I think the psvita is the most impressive handheld I have ever seen in terms of features. In my opinion, it could almost be considered a multimedia device. I think ( sorry for another comparison) that it outdoes the 3ds HARDWARE feature wise. The only real things the 3ds has on the vita are the 3d and two screens. But in the end, it all comes down to games my friends.

^Both the 3DS and Vita are multimedia devices. However, the non-gaming apps on the Vita will most likely be downplayed.
