The sales of the Vita rise, but the 3DS still comes out on top in Japan

190 Comments

Another week has passed and the 3DS continues to reign supreme in Japan. But the Vita’s sales have more than doubled since last week, so it’ll be interesting to see if it continues to trend in that direction. There’s a lot of catching up to do (although the 3DS has been out for a while longer), but it’ll be interesting to see if we can get a bit of actual competition going between the system. That makes it better for everyone.

  • Nintendo 3DS: 61,793
  • PlayStation Vita: 34,459
  • PlayStation 3: 14,673
  • PSP: 9,740
  • Wii: 5,963
  • PlayStation 2: 1,237
  • Xbox 360: 1,084
  • Nintendo DSi LL: 689
  • Nintendo DSi: 380

You can click here to see last week’s sales numbers.

  • SonicBJE

    Let’s be happy the Vita is doing better! It’ll be some good competition for the 3DS.

    • Captsu Ichicon

      Yeah lets just hope it doesnt get too out of hand on this topic.

    • Enigma

      Fanboy wars!

      C’mon, grab some popcorn. Lets sit back and watch.

    • critical

      Yeah Vita is doing well now but for how long?

      The sales figure for Vita is not consistent, every week it varies. Next thing you know it drops back to 9000+ again.

      I think Vita sales will only increase dramatically at the end of the year when All Star Battle Royale and LBP are released.

    • SKent

      agreed. It deserves to do better. I also think it’d be a healthy sign if the market can support 2 handhelds despite all the iphones and casual gaming supposedly taking over.

    • TOBI

      after Vita slams 3DS, Ninty fans then says Vita sucks, it shouldn’t have games. competition my ass how come GBA survive and has lots of sales ????? it doesn’t have any competition.

  • su

    What game was released to Vita ?
    xD

    • Nobody

      Nothing Good So Far

    • mah boi

      inb4fanboywar

    • the psvita is better

      @nobody you know i would like to argue with you about that, but since i dont wanna start a fanboy war, i just wanna tell you that thats not true and that you should check the vita line up of games before criticizing it

    • SakuMo

      Persona 4: Golden.

    • The dude

      @the psvita is better

      Can I ask what year did you started to play video games on a major system?

      i.e. Nintendo, PlayStation, Sega, X Box……this includes handhelds.

      I’m just curious……nothing more.

    • Enzo

      What Nobody said is the same kind of argument against the Wii U. The Wii U has plenty of good titles, people are just stupid and say “OMG DIS GAME IS A YER OLD WII U SUKS HAZ NO GUD GAMES” and the vita gets ported games that have never been portable before and it’s not fair to say they aren’t good titles.

    • Enigma

      “The Wii U has plenty of good titles”

      No it doesn’t.
      “and the vita gets ported games that have never been portable before and it’s not fair to say they aren’t good titles.”

      The Vita really hasn’t had that many ported titles, at all. The only ones that I can think of would be Mortal Kombat. The 3DS has had ports too, BTW. More than the Vita I think.

    • the psvita is better

      i been playing games since the snes came out, but i am not sure when that was. i also played nes games too

    • Enzo

      Enigma, you really are an idiot aren’t you? What do you call UMvC3? Rayman Origins? Uncharted Golden Abyss? MGS HD? FFX HD? LittleBigPlanet? FIFA13? CoD Black Ops? Plants vs Zombies? Tales of Innocence? Also, of course the 3DS will have more ports, they have more games available.

    • The Un-informed gamer

      Some games I heard good things about were Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Gravity Rush.

    • Enigma

      No Enzo, you are an idiot.

      I want you to tell me the definition of a port, so I can laugh.

    • Enzo

      To me, it sounds like you’re the one who doesn’t know what a port is. Even if you want to call it a “remake” it doesn’t change the fact that what I said is true.

    • Ty

      @Enzo

      Rayman wasn’t a port- it was a multiplatform release. they worked on it alongside the console versions. It only came out later because the Vita didn’t launch when Rayman did.

      Black Ops isn’t a port either- it’s a companion title to the home console game.

      Uncharted: Golden Abyss was an original title- not a port.

      LittleBigPlanet- also an original title in the series and not a port.

      Fifa 13- also not a port. It’s a multiplatform release, and the Vita version has features unique to it.

      You should really do your research before you talk about things you know very little about, and before you call people idiots. All it does is make you look like one.

    • James

      Enigma:
      “Porting is the term used when a video game designed to run on one platform, be it an arcade, video game console, or personal computer, is converted to run on a different platform.”

      Which is exactly what the Vita games Enzo named are. That’s not to say the 3DS doesn’t have any, though.
      Now, let’s hear you. Laugh at the official definition of “video game port”.

    • James

      *what some of the games Enzo named

    • Enzo

      My accusation was correct, but some of the games I listed were not correct. However, that doesn’t mean I’m an idiot. It just means I am not familiar with the some of the titles and I only called them ports so quickly to make a point. If we take away the ones except for FIFA 13 and Rayman Origins (which ARE ports, as they are not the native console)

    • Enigma

      James, don’t be silly. I wanted to hear it from Enzo, for obvious reasons.

    • Ty

      @Enzo
      And the native console of a multiplatform release is? That’s total BS. You’re just covering your ass now- especially with the whole ‘not familiar’ excuse. You should at least check your facts first, especially with how easily false information spreads through the comments section on this blog- nothing against the blog, just a few commenters.

    • The dude

      @the psvita is better

      I think that was around 1992, if not 1992.

      Same time I did.

      COOL!

      May I ask what are your favorite games on both Vita & 3DS, that are currently out?

    • the psvita is better

      @the dude favorite vita game: gravity rush
      favorite 3ds game: kid icarus uprising
      how about you?

    • The dude

      Favorite 3DS game, I guess Kid Icarus: Uprising for now.

      I don’t own a Vita nor see any games on the Wikipedia List of Vita games that, I want, but I almost but the PSP once, LOL.

      But I was really asking for a List from you, like a list of current 3DS & Vita games.

      My list would probably be besides Kid Icarus: Uprising: Star Fox 3D & Cave Story 3D & Super Mario 3D Land & Mario Kart 7 & Shinobi (need to get, but I heard that you should ignore the negative scores for using certain abilities, and just use what you like, so it will be actually fun) & Tales of the Abyss 3D & Thor 3DS (great for renting) Resident Evil: Revelations & Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D (there are Super Villians, but you have no powers yourself, and quite a bit of Stories & Plots, cool game) & Dillon’s Rolling Western & Ketzal’s Corridors & Mutant Mudds & Spirit Camera: the Cursed Memoirs.

      That’s what I can think of right now.

      But I also got Crush 3D for $15 New at GameStop, it’s good for the price.

      I’m just curious of your list of favorites of currently release games, because you like both systems.

    • Captsu Ichicon

      C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

  • Keith

    Persona 4 The Golden had to be a major factor in the Vita’s raise in sales. Definitely a great series. And I’m pretty sure its more popular in Japan than it is in America.

  • SEGAGIGA

    Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed Battle Destiny = Sales spike

  • Psycho_PS3truthh

    The VITA was born from the womb of sony to be a great child, it will go on to be a man and become the haldheld of choice for all gamers who will become attracted to it.

    Its still just hitting puberty and will become better as the year go on with great games coming soon.

    • http://youtube.com/user/pyroblock pyroblock

      you can stop pulling words out of your ass now ^_^

    • Enzo

      I find it funny that the same people saying this kind of stuff about the Vita are the people who also bashed the 3DS to hell about its sales.

    • Drew

      Nice vocabulary now shut up…..

    • the psvita is better

      do you have an account on ign also?
      i think i’ve seen your comments there

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/darkgamer001 darkgamer001

      oh god, the IGN troll…

    • mah boi

      This isn’t the place for you to be…

    • GamingFan99

      Please stay on IGN, I don’t need this in my life here too…

    • Enigma

      You got a problem fanboys? He’s not bashing about the 3DS or anything, he’s just talking about postively about the Vita.

    • http://youtube.com/user/pyroblock pyroblock

      well for 1 im not a fanboy, i could care less, it mainly matters because this is a 3ds blog, not a vita blog, he has no reason being here

    • Enigma

      Oh lawd.

      Take out the about.

      /no editing feature.

      And yes, he’s saying that the Vita will become the handheld of choice. That’s just his opinion. Leave him be.

    • Enigma

      And Pyro, he can be wherever he wants. Maybe he is interested in what’s going on with the 3DS? Then he should come to this blog right? He didn’t say that he disliked the 3DS, just that he liked the Vita. What, if you like the Vita then you can’t come here at all? Is that it?

    • Enzo

      Enigma, you always cause problems wherever you go, don’t you? Anyway, I wasn’t saying he was bashing the 3DS, but stating a fact of the irony that people are allowed to use this excuse for the Vita but everyone said the 3DS was doomed, even when it saw a boost in sales.

    • The dude

      Well, here are the sales:

      First 1 month 3DS = 3.6 million

      First 2 months PS Vita = 1.2 million

      I think this might tell us a little something about their future sells, from here on out.

      But it’s best to just really wait 2 to 3 years, to truly talk smack about one of these systems, depending on which one does how much better than the other.

      :)

    • Enigma

      That still has nothing to do with what he’s saying. He’s not using any excuses. There is no irony here.

      I’m not causing any problems. :)

    • Archer

      Stop stalking me! Go back to IGN!

    • Psycho_PS3truthh

      guys, relax. I’m not bashing any console, am I ? I just realised the awesomeness of 3ds and bought one too, soo I’m on your side now, otherwise how would I end up here ?

    • Ricardo

      Psycho, how did you find this site? D:

      Also, I doubt it’s the one from IGN. There are SO many PS3 Phycho Truths that it’s not even funny! That’s why I’m doubting this one. He might just be a wanna-be.

      Also, we know you are not bashing the 3DS, it’s just that none of us like you — you’re completely biased and always choose sides!

      One day you’ll be – Nintendo will win!

      The next day – PS3 will reign supreme! HAHAHA.

      Seriously, you’re weird. If you’re at least going to join this site, I’d change your name so that nobody would hate on you….

  • ZimmerRemmiz

    Well this can be blamed on the reason that I’m getting one in October, Persona 4 The Golden, hopefully some quality original games start being made for the system…

  • Devinal215

    Ha DSi LL

  • Nintyfan95

    I wanna get one for Gravity Rush, Super Monkey Ball, and Liberation, but I’m afraid Sony will treat this too much like a portable PS3.

    • Enzo

      That’s exactly what they’re going for.

    • GamingFan99

      Well… that’s exactly how they’re treating it at this point. The games feel like an awkward mix between PS3 and handheld (and yes, I have actually tried out the Vita).

  • Tails the Foxhound

    Unfortunately, the exact same thing happened earlier in the year when ‘Tales of Innocence R’ came out. This is all the direct result of ‘Persona 4: the Golden’. With some luck Sony’s Vita may keep it’s momentum, but I’m betting on a sub-14k number next week or the week after.

    In other news, the PS2 is back to out selling the 360. :S Do they even still make PS2 games?

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    well idk what the vita can do, although it seemed better with software then the 3ds, but the 3ds just isnt my kind of device i want. i mean im not going to get a vita, but i doubt i will always keep my 3ds. my eyes are only on a wii u now. at least its from nintendo.

  • the psvita is better

    i am glad the psvita is doing better now, but i gotta handed to the 3ds, its sales are never beaten( well at least not in japan)

    • Enzo

      There’s a weird mentality people have in the USA that actually highly contributes to the sales figures we have. The 360 is the best selling console in the USA right now for what reason? It is because of this mentality. Nintendo sales are plummeting because of this shift of gaming, as gaming is becoming a thing that isn’t just for those “nerdy” people. Everyone is getting into it, so naturally all the raging fanboy stuff starts going overload, and it exists in Japan as well but it is especially bad in USA and even Europe. It has nothing to do with which console is better as a gaming console.

    • Enzo

      With that said, I would buy a vita for FFX and to try out a few titles that were ported from the PS3. I’m not a person who thinks graphics are the best thing ever, but I do appreciate them.

    • http://youtube.com/user/pyroblock pyroblock

      gaming was never “nerdy” in the first place

    • GamingFan99

      @Enzo: I completetly agree. Why is the 360 so amazing? It’s all anyone in my school will ever talk about. That and CoD…

    • The dude

      Well, the 360 has been given out for free, more than any other system.

      And more people who never play video games have receive a Free X Box 360, than the PS3 & Wii.

      But the Wii has more owners than those systems, LOL.

      So a lot of 360 owners have never own anything else…….yet.

      But when they see the Wii U, now that they play some video games for the first time in their life….well, let’s let time tell.

      Plus the 3DS has a better buzz thru the Internet, socially than any per system for a year now and continuing.

      And the 3DS is the fastest selling video game system ever, anyways; so just tell your friends that.

      Just say the 3DS is so amazing that it is the fastest selling Video Game System EVER!

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      well no nintendo anything, as far as i know, lets you talk online while playing with random people. or even send a message, at least while your playing a game. or even lets you be friends with anyone youplay with. that, and theirs like maybe a trail version for every xbox game. and the built in 120GB memory is nice. and listening to my music from a sd card or the xbox that i transfered from the sd card, while im playing any game is nice too. and whatever else the xbox can do. i always liked nintendo until i got an xbox. i hate microsoft but an xbox, at least 360, is better then any nintendo thing. at least, until the wii u comes out. depending if they made it right, but it looks like they did.

    • Enzo

      Seriously? You base how good a system is off of that? I wont judge your taste but that’s very much an opinion and doesn’t make a console better than another, and the 3DS game Heroes of Ruin will have voice chat.

    • The dude

      Heroes of Ruin?

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      well, i think if you make a party, voice chat works 24/7. playing a game or not. and i dont know much about an xbox, but if i did, i can list more stuff. i mean it has the basics like netflix and hulu too, and stuff similar to the nintendo video on the wii. but it just makes playing with other people way more better.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/darkgamer001 darkgamer001

    “…but it’ll be interesting to see if we can get a bit of actual competition going between the system. That makes it better for everyone.”
    Not necessarily imho. The GBA era was a time when Nintendo was virtually unchallenged in the handheld market, and it was still a golden era. Unless the Vita can bring something innovative to the table, then I have no problems with it failing tbh

    • the psvita is better

      i dont get what you are saying. are you saying that if the vita brings any type of innovation, you wont mind if it fails?

    • GamingFan99

      ^No, he’s saying that unless the Vita brings innovation, he won’;t mind if it fails. And I agree darkgamer. I also like how your point with the GBA completely ruins everyone who thinks that competition between the Vita and 3DS will be good.

    • Enzo

      Honestly, the competition between the Vita and 3DS may make developers try to make better games, but only first party developers would be concerned. It doesn’t change anything with third party.

    • The dude

      So it needs to use more of what other people call gimmicks….like Motion Sensors & Augmented Reality & so fort.

      Well, I agree.

      But the 3DS is the only one with 3D and the PS Vita feels more like the PSP, with much better graphics, which is why they need to use more of the current gen handheld features.

      So I agree with you 2.

      But don’t worry Vita is better, because the PS Vita is selling better than the PS3 & 360, even doe that’s only because it’s a Handheld system of a Major system.

      But this means at least the Vita will get support, even if it does later on do terrible for the rest of its generation, because it is still currently selling better tha the home consoles, but this is to be expected of any and all handhelds. No matter what.

      So you still get your beloved game support from 3rd party, Mr. The psvita is better.

      But you might not get a 3rd Gen PSP, depending on how the rest of the PS Vita lifespan goes about.

    • Matt

      To be a good console you don’t need to be innovative, you just need solid hardware and a good library of games.

    • The dude

      No, you just need a good game library.

      But innovation is why the 3DS is getting a lot of its good games.

      Monster Hunter 4, Kid Icarus: Uprising (which was waiting for the right console) & a million more.

      And a lot of these games like Resident Evil: Revelations, wouldn’t ever been made if it wasn’t for the 3D without the glasses for all owners of the system, innovation.

      And they only made Epic Mickey & the Last Story, because they were inspire by the Wii’s innovation and wanted to make something for such a great innovated Video Game System; and the same thing is happening to the Wii U.

      So if you truly want a Good Game Library, than you have to be innovated to inspire Developers to ever make such Games, like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy & Kid Icarus: Uprising & Monster Hunter 4, which is only come out this soon, because of inspiration from such great innovation of a Truly New Video Game System, like the 3DS & Wii U….and to a lesser extinct, the Wii & DS.

      The Hardware never determines anything:

      Just look at the Specs of the PS2 Vs. GameCube, but the PS2 won.

      And look at the Specs of the PS3 Vs. Wii, but the Wii won.

    • Enigma

      Resident Evil would have rocked on the Vita. It rocked on the 3DS, but c’mon, imagine how much more it could have rocked on the Vita. ;(

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/darkgamer001 darkgamer001

      Maybe I should have clarified this point, sorry if it wasn’t clear. By innovation, I mean innovation on two levels:
      - Innovative features built into the design of the handheld
      - Innovative games (ex. will they introduce fun new gameplay elements? Will they utilize the handheld’s features? etc.).
      If the Vita is going to become a handheld where you can’t help but think that the games are good, but would have been better on the PS3 (or a superior PS3 port already exists), then it’s not gonna bode well for Sony
      And that’s where, imho, Nintendo gets it right. It’s console and handhelds, and the games that come out for them, usually differ enough to warrant getting both. With the Vita and the PS3…hmm, I’m not so sure.

    • Enigma

      darkgamer, get that mentality out of your head. All the 3DS games could be on the PS3 too, and become better. They could even become better on the PS Vita, for that matter. You have to sacrifice something to be portable. That’s just the way it is.

    • The dude

      Who would want to pause the game during a zombie assault, just to change weapons on the PS Vita Version?

      I would rather play Darksiders 2 on Wii U & Resident Evil: Revelations on 3DS, than any crappy 1 Screen system, that has me pausing the game during the action.

    • Enigma

      Call of Duty is on one screen on almost everything. PC, 360, PS3, PSV etc.

      You don’t have to change screens anyways? You just hit the change weapon button.

      Have you even ever played Call of Duty Black Ops?

    • The dude

      But that’s Call of Duty.

      And I would rather play such games as: Battlefield & Resident Evil: Mercenaries, than crappy Call of Duty.

      Call of Duty is more like a prototype game.

    • Enigma

      I prove you wrong on the one screen thing, so now your going to go bash on Call of Duty.

      Lol.

      A “prototype” game he says. That’s stupid on so many levels.

    • The dude

      @enigma

      That’s just 1 game.

      And not that many people are playing any new nor old call of duty anymore, on top of that.

  • Captain Falcon

    PS2

    wat
    it’s still alive? huh.

    • Ice Climbers

      Yeah, I think only in Japan. It was kept so that Sony had a means of profit since the PS3 was being sold at a loss for so long and the Vita is being sold at a big loss right now.

    • kelvin

      yeah and i think i saw it in a gamestop in the u.s. a week ago

  • Enigma

    It’s about fucking time. The Vita needs some better sales. I hope it keeps up.

    I prefer the Vita over the 3DS, system wise. Then I prefer the 3DS over the Vita, game library wise. If only Sony didn’t let Nintendo keep stealing all the good games. If only.

    • http://youtube.com/user/pyroblock pyroblock

      so if sony had mario it would have been fine? ya… sony would ruin the mario series, maybe milk it less which would be good but still ruin it non the less, mario is the main reason the 3ds is doing good, its nintndo’s mascot and he is the main reason nintendo has been doing good for a good portion of the years (next to the zelda games we get ever 3 or so years)

    • Enzo

      I don’t like when people say that a title is being “milked” because it makes it sound like they’re being lazy and leeching off of the success of an idol. However, the success actually lies in the fact that the mario game was good on top of being popular. If it wasn’t a good game, it wouldn’t have done much for the 3DS. Also, the 3DS isn’t “stealing” any game for the Vita. People developing for the 3DS have good enough reasons to solely develop for the 3DS over the Vita, it isn’t all about hardware specs.

    • Enigma

      ….dafuq is up with this guy?

      Mario is made by a development team. A Nintendo development team. It wouldn’t matter what side the team was on, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft etc. They would still make the same quality games. Being with Sony wouldn’t suddenely suck away their skill. Actually, with the Vita’s more powerful hardware, the games could be even better.

      “well for 1 im not a fanboy”

      I don’t like liars. (:

    • Enzo

      I think people over-estimate the vita’s hardware power compared to the 3DS. Also, you say that but the consoles control differently and many people say it makes little to no difference in the end, but it actually is a pretty big deal. It’s like my laptop for example. I would prefer a weaker laptop in exchange for a laptop that can do everything I already do on this laptop and run at a cooler temperature.

    • Derpsicle

      Don’t forget, Ocarina of Time 3D and Nintendogs at least helped it get off the starting line, both with around 2 million copies sold. 3D Land did, as you said, “saved” the 3DS. I’m still hoping for a portable game with Galaxy standards, large, explorable worlds.

    • Derpsicle

      And, Enzo is right. The franchise wouldn’t able to be “milked” if it wasn’t quality. If it sucked, it can’t be popular.

    • Enigma

      Looking at the specs for the two, there is definitely a sizable difference between the two. The Vita also has a much bigger screen, and dual analogs.

    • The dude

      The 3DS has better GPU than the Vita:

      PS Vita = underclock at 266 MHz (but it can do 300 MHz)

      3DS = underclock at 400 MHz (but can be overclock at 1 GHz)

      The 3DS displays 15.8 million polygons with 3 video images running at 60 fps each and in sync.

      The PS Vita does 33 million polygons with 1 video image running at 60 fps.

      The 3D Screens do the same as an OLED, but to the maximum, which is better than OLED, which is why Nintendo didn’t use any LED, because it doesn’t add any more to a 3D Screen.

      You only need OLED for 2D Visuals.

      Here are the CPU’s

      3DS = 1.8 GHz duo core (can do at least 3.5 GHz, but is underclock for battery life)

      PS Vita = 1.2 GHz quad core AMD processor (can run only up to 1 GHz a core, i.e. 4.0 GHz, but I expect might also be underclock for battery life)

      The 3DS outer camera acts as one 0.6 megapixel 3D camera with much better resolution with the 3D ON, than the PS Vita 0.3 megapixel 2D camera.

      They both record in 60 fps, but the 3DS is per camera in-sync.

      And Video Sharing Websites only display 60 fps for their 3D Content, ONLY.

      So you will only see 30 fps of Vita with half as good looking resolution on YouTube & so fort.

      And here are the Motion Sensors:

      3DS = 3 Axis (100% accurate)

      PS Vita = 6 Axis (a more precise & detail version, but to what extent I don’t know, I think it’s best to ask the user known as “the psvita is better” for the difference)

    • Enzo

      Enigma, you really don’t know much about the hardware differences between PS Vita and 3DS, do you? The Vita may be quadcore while the 3DS is dual and single core (processor dual). However, pure power and number of cores doesn’t tell you everything. The Vita uses 512 MB DRAM quadcore. The 3DS uses 128 MB FCRAM.
      “The Fujitsu Consumer FCRAM integrates a wide data bus width of 64-bit I/O that enables higher data bandwidth at a lower operating frequency. Since the memory operates at a lower frequency, termination resistors are not needed. This allows the FCRAM to reduce power consumption while still delivering a high data bandwidth.”

      “With 64-bit I/O and maximum 216MHz operating frequency (at 105ºC), FCRAM operates at 3.46GByte/s data bandwidth that is higher than DDR3 (3.2GByte/s bandwidth with a 16-bit I/O at 800MHz).”

      -http://www.fujitsu.com/us/semiconductors/memory/fcram/index.html

      FCRAM is superior to DRAM in every single way, and what it shows is that it can do more with less. That’s why I tell you that, and even though the screen size for the PS Vita is larger, it makes it less portable.

    • The dude

      And the 3D makes the 3DS screen look too big; i.e. Dillon’s Rolling Western & Ketzal’s Corridors.

      So the 3DS doesn’t need a bigger screen because of the 3D effect.

      I always play with the 3D since day one.

    • The dude

      At least the PS Vita seems to Win in both CPU & Motion Sensors & Polygon count.

      But that’s it.

      Plus AMD CPU are pretty crappy in general, but they are also the cheapest.

      I can’t emulate any DS games on my Windows 7, because it uses AMD, and that’s the only reason why.

      I only needed a few more DS games, but I just have to buy them for my DS original, LOL (which last for 9 to 10 hours for vs. my 3DS 7 to 8 hours with 4.0 firmware)

    • The dude

      And the 3DS has a much more better battery life than the PS Vita.

      But to what extent…..well it’s best to ask the user *the psvita is better* about that.

      And the 3DS can multitask both Photo taking & Web Browsing, but no video recording.

    • Enigma

      Exactly, the Vita’s procesor, the POWER of the system is leaps ahead of the 3DS. PS Vita: 33 Million polygons/sec. 3DS: 15.3 million Polygons/sec. Big difference.

      http://www.geek.com/articles/games/ps-vita-vs-nintendo-3ds-how-the-specs-compare-20120216/

      I don’t know where you got the specs for the memory, but i’m pretty sure that the Vita’s is ahead of the 3DS by a large amount. Unless all the articles that I have read are wrong. Duno what the Vram and stuff is, though.

      “And the 3D makes the 3DS screen look too bigSo the 3DS doesn’t need a bigger screen because of the 3D effect.”
      It doesn’t make it look bigger. It is still very small compared to the Vita. It could definitely use a bigger screen. It would look a ton better.

    • Ty

      @The dude
      yeah… those specs are REALLY inaccurate. Please quit spreading false information- it just leads to trouble.

    • Ty

      @The dude
      More corrections:

      Sadly enough, the Vita actually has a longer battery life than the 3DS- despite having more powerful hardware, though the Vita has a mucb larger battery (which is part of the reason why it’s built in- unremovable).

    • Enzo

      However, you don’t have to spend much to double the battery life of the 3DS (and the 3DS battery life is roughly the same as the Vita).

    • DaveC

      @Kaisar… I mean “The dude”

      Those “specs” are right off of Fox News, filled with lies and inaccuracies.

    • The dude

      To stereoscopic the top screen image and have adjustable to do 19 lambarts for lazy eye people and display 3 diffferent video images at 60 fps each and multitask downloading up to 244 MB of 3D videos on Nintendo Video and StreetPass and so fort, all at the same time.

      And also doing 15.8 Million Polygons 1/60 of a second, this clearly would require more than the Wii 729 MHz to accomplish, like twice that.

      And also the fact that the Wii Online gaming is horrible, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl. But the 3DS Online is beautifully great like Super Street Fighter 4 3D with 8 players team battle (4 vs. 4).

      I don’t include such games as Kid Icarus & Mario Kart 7 for Online gaming, because they use Nintendo Network.

      And the 3DS also outputs 7.1 Surround Sound in its earphone jack, which makes such games as Dillon’s Rolling Western & Kid Icarus: Uprising sound beautifully like you are right there in the game world.

      So the 3DS known 24/7 activity, is clearly pulling in at least 2 times more processing than the Wii (4 million polygon).

      ;)

    • The dude

      Geek.com has been wrong a million times before in the past, so that site is just inaccuracies, when it comes to a New System Specs.

    • Enigma

      3D can’t make a screen wider. The big ol’ OLED screen on the Vita looks a lot prettier, trust me.

      I’ll admit that I don’t know much about memory, but all I see about this FCRAM is it’s low power consumption, and high bandwith. The Vita’s memory is still 4 times higher. Hahaha.

    • Ricardo

      C-C-C-C-C-C-C COMBO BREAKER.

      Stop it, all of you. Ah! — I don’t want to hear it! The dude, I’m not sure whether those specs are wrong or not, but trying to tell Enigma something he doesn’t want to learn is pointless.

      Enigma, you’re being a huge fanboy right now. Stop it. Yes, the Vita is powerful. But it is powerful to the extent where it’s basically a mini PS3, which not many people want. Power does not determine the success of a console, it’s all about the games and how much intrigued you are by your console. That just goes to show you why 3DS is winning. Here are two quotes that I took from IGN in a Nintendo and Sony article:

      Nintendo: “It’s about having fun”.

      Sony: It’s about being the best”.

      So do you see why Sony loses? Because they believe that powerful specs are “being the best”. Now, all of you stop commenting, this conversation is OVER. Just believe what you believe and dont try and stick it through someone’s mind if they don’t want to understand (I have a 3DS, btw).

    • Ricardo

      Oh, and Enigma, 3D DOES MAKE THE SCREEN WIDER/BIGGER. IT’S POSSIBLE. GOODNESS.

    • Enigma

      Me? A fanboy? Are you crazy??

      I am not being a fanboy at all. I am sticking to the facts. The Vita’s hardware is stronger than the 3DS’s. That is a fact. Why would you not want a game on a stronger system? I don’t know, but I would prefer it on the stronger system. Problem?

      The 3D gives depth. It goes into the screen. I’ve had a 3DS since day one, and I have played a great number of 3DS games. None of them have made the screen “wider”. And even if it did, it would still not be anywhere near as big as the Vita’s 5 in screen.

    • Ricardo

      Okay, Enigma, you want Q&A’s? Here you go.

      “Me? A fanboy? Are you crazy??”

      – “The Vita’s memory is still 4 times higher. Hahaha.” That “Ha-ha-ha” just proved that you laughed at how the 3DS’s memory is lower than Vita, making you a fanboy. Next time, state the facts without trying to start problems or laughing about it.

      “The Vita’s hardware is stronger than the 3DS’s.”

      – While the Vita in many ways is more powerful than the 3DS, not ALL of the Vita’s hardware is better than 3DS. For example, the camera.

      “Why would you not want a game on a stronger system?”

      – Like I said before, power is NOT everything! Look at the sales between 3DS and Vita, and Wii and PS3. The weaker systems are winning. While it’d be cool to play Mario with Vita’s hardware, us people are just not ready to move to that next level. Remember that these are handhelds we are talking about, not PS3s or 360s. Sony is moving too fast, while Nintendo is just about right with their hardware. Also, the better the hardware, the MORE the price. $250 is WAY TOO MUCH for a handheld! $169.99 is perfect for any handheld for this generation! You may not know it, but our economy is bad, and there are more poor people than rich people. So many people would scream joy with the 3DS’s price, while with the Vita….not so much. Just because it’s a Sony product does not mean that everyone will buy it. Sony is not Apple. >.>

      “The 3D gives depth. It goes into the screen.”

      – Very true, except for 3D Land, you can choose either inside 3D or pop out 3D. I’m not sure why all 3DS games use inside 3D instead of outside….hmmm.

      “I’ve had a 3DS since day one, and I have played a great number of 3DS games. None of them have made the screen “wider”.”

      – By wider, I did not mean that the screen would literally enlarge itself right before your eyes. I mean that once you turn on your 3D, the inside of the screen goes wider, allowing you to see a little bit more things whether the screen is “still” or moving. Go get your 3DS. put any game on, and wait till the 3D is available. Go to any level or whatever and stop moving your character. Look at the very end of the left or right side of the 3DS. Turn the 3D on, and keep looking at either the end of the left or right side. You WILL notice that the inside screen became wider, allowing you to see more things depending where you/your character is.

      “And even if it did, it would still not be anywhere near as big as the Vita’s 5 in screen.”

      The Vita has a 5 in. screen, yes, but remember that the 3DS has TWO screens. If you combined the two screens together, it probably be bigger, if not equal to the Vita’s screen. The Vita only has one screen, meaning that maps, stats, etc. will be covering your screen. The 3DS has two screens, which add for helpful and more gameplay mechanics. The top screen is where all the gameplay happens, where the bottom screen can be anything it wants. It could connect with the 2nd screen, be a helpful aid (carrying things), show maps, stats, level progression, ANYTHING as far as gameplay goes.

      There, I’m done. Now please stop commenting, because you just got served. Sony will never beat Nintendo.

    • Enigma

      Yeah, i’m not going to read all that.

      I want you to tell me the definition of a fanboy.

      Stating facts like the PS Vita’s memory is higher or the PS Vita is more powerful does not make you a fanboy. It just makes you a guy that is stating facts.

    • Ricardo

      @Enigma – the fact that you do not want to read my long post proves that I’m right.

      Good day. And I actually suggest you read my long post, it will fill your brain with new information. :)

      “the fact that you do not want to read my long post proves that I’m right”
      How? Hahaha.

      I’ve read all your posts before. I’m sure that that one isn’t better than the rest.

      Yes, good day, sir.

    • The dude

      @enigma

      Ricardo has read every single one of your post.

      So stop repeating what other people have said to you; to say to them.

      Because it does not make you look like you won…..it just makes you look like a dumb child, who doesnt want to admit that you have ever been wrong about anything.

      The PS Vita can do an additional up to 50 MHz in its CPU, when both systems are Max Clock for 100% effectiveness.

      And the PS Vita has 6 Axis Motion Sensors VS. 3 Axis, but it loses in all the other specs.

      A 3D Screen Maximazes the OLED effect, without an LED for a screen.

      And I have seen the MIB 3 3D trailer that proves this.

      And the 2D content that’s more than 24 fps, is PS Vita Games & Record PS Vita videos.

      But all stereoscopic 3D content is 60 fps.

      And YouTube only displays 60 fps of 3D videos, but the 2D videos uploaded to YouTube are only display up to 30 fps.

      The PS Vita can give you more than 24 fps for its games (which is 60 fps) & 0.3 megapixel recorded videos (which is 60 fps).

      So what’s the point, when I can see 3D Movie Trailers in all 60 fps, that all stereoscopic videos are recorded & displayed on 3D displays in?

    • The dude

      And the 3DS wins in GPU & RAM & having more pixels per inch & frame rate (3 images at 60 fps each) & camera & augmented reality & game library & non-game content.

      And the 3D effect makes each individual pixel more invisible, and the 3DS already has more pixels per inch than the PS Vita as well.

      And who wants to play Resident Evil: Revelations on the PS Vita 1 screen, that will make you pause the game during the action like Darksiders 1 & in 2D for a Horror game……..NO THANKS.

    • The dude

      And the 3DS is getting Full 3D movies & eBooks for Download as mention since E3 2010.

      And you can read all the eBooks text in both 3D & 2D.

      So why come the PS Vita is NOT getting full Movies & eBooks to download.

    • The dude

      ^Additional 500 MHz, not 50 MHz (correction)

    • Enigma

      “And the 3DS is getting Full 3D movies & eBooks for Download as mention since E3 2010.”

      That was two years ago. There hasn’t been a 3D movie since. BTW, the Vita will be able to get eBook features too. Please, research things before you talk.

      “So why come the PS Vita is NOT getting full Movies.”
      The fuck are you talking about??? YEAH YOU DO. You can do HD movies too, something that the 3DS’s non-Hd screen could not do.

      BTW, the 3DS can’t download eBooks either.

      P’wned again, dude. Stop being an uneducated fanboy. Please, just stop talking. Do yourself a favor.

    • The dude

      But the PS Vita is not getting downloadable full movies.

      @TY

      The PS Vita only last for 3 to 5 hours 1 video image at 60 fps.

      The 3DS las 3 to 5 hours 3 video images at 60 fps each at the same exact time.

      And the 3DS does 2D in 5 to 8 hours, like Netflix & 2D Games.

      The PS Vita does 2D in 3 to 5 hours, like Netflix & games.

    • The dude

      The PC games are just ported from the X Box 360 contract, that makes it so Microsoft can have 3rd party 360 games be made for their PC as well.

      If the X Box dies, or doesn’t get the game, than it won’t come out on PC.

      Unless its for the PC only LOL, which would most likely be crap.

      Ports aren’t actually bad, but there’s such thing as a bad port. PS Vita doesn’t have necessarily “bad ports” but I wouldn’t know much really about their quality. Also, the 3DS has way more than just NSMB2.

    • Ness

      It isn’t “relying” on NSMB2. Nintendo is just trying to put one of its best-selling franchises on an already popular system.
      The 3DS already rose to prominence with 3D Land, MK7, Revelations, and Kid Icarus. NSMB2 will just add a bit more on top of that.

      It’s just swiping your finger around. It’s fast, innovative, and fun. Great interface for a menu. Sure, it could use buttons, but i’d still prefer the touchscreen. What, people don’t complain about having to do that on their iPhones, but you will complain about doing it on the Vita?

      That link came from Wii U fansite. It’s going to be biased.
      He never said that it was a handheld. And he never said that the Vita is better than the Wii U. He was just talking about how he thinks that the Vita would work better as a separate controller then the Wii U’s tablet.

      “ Speaking in an E3 interview with GamesIndustry International, Rohde argued that Vita-to-PS3 connectivity inherently holds more potential than the Wii U’s dual-screen offering as both Sony systems boast their own processor. “

      Every company will always say that their competitors stuff is inferior. It’s just how things are.

      There has never really been a game of the year game on the Wii, ever.

And many many more great games?

      If not then you have seriously missed out.

      I would rather play “The Last Story” which is better than all other Home Console games of this Generation of Home Consoles.

      And I can also play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers, than Final Fantasy 13.

      And Epic Mickey was Epic, and this is a fucking Disney game for crying out loud.

      And Maio Kart Wii & Double Dash were the best racing games, before Mario Kart 7.

      And Xenoblade Chronicles is bad ass…..and my only reason to ever play a Xenoblade game in the first place.

      And Zelda Skyward Sword & Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are some of the greatest games ever made in the history of Video Games.

      So Video Game of the Year Award doesn’t mean anything, because people like G4 TV give at those awards (Not G4 TV, but people like G4 TV).

      :p

    Haha. Wii did better than XBox 360.
    Gotta love that

  • person

    LOL PS2 selling more than 360!

  • Marquis

    Kinda sad how the Vita needed a Persona port to make it more relevant… Then again, P4 /is/ a great game.

    • Ricardo

      I know, right? It’s SAD that Sony has to count on 3rd party to save their system.

      Just goes to show you that Sony does NOT give a thing about Vita.

    @Enigma Actually you are being a fanboy. You claim to be stating facts, but have you looked at your other comments? In most of them you straight out bash the 3DS and Wii U. “The Wii U has plenty of good titles” “No it doesn’t” You answer clearly showed that you are a fanboy. You also stated that the Vita would have made better use of certain games on the 3DS. You’ve also said that the touch screen on the Vita is innovative.. REALLY? Touch screens have become so used that you can’t even claim that it’s innovative. Especially for portables because the DS started the portable touch screen trend. Yes, your entitled toy our opinions, but most of them are biased facts.

    • Ricardo

      Exactly.

    • Enigma

      “In most of them you straight out bash the 3DS and Wii U.”
      Only the Wii U. For obvious reasons.

      “You answer clearly showed that you are a fanboy.”
      Just facts sweetie. <3

      "You’ve also said that the touch screen on the Vita is innovative"
      Main menu. The main menu's interface. I was only talking about that. Read, silly. Read correctly. I know you can do it!

      "Yes, your entitled toy our opinions, but most of them are biased facts."
      Facts can't be biased.

      Your entire post is a fail. Please, don't make me pick them apart again.

      "Exactly."
      And Ricardo agreed with it. Why am I not suprised. Hahaha.

    • Enigma

      A fact is a fact. Like the sun is hot. Stuff like that can’t be biased obviously.

    • Captain Falcon

      @Enigma As a fan of both Sony and Nintendo, I am currently laughing uncontrollably.

    • Enigma

      Don’t hurt yourself now.

      Need some water? :)

    • Enigma

      A “fanboy” is not just a male who is a fan of something y’know. It’s completely different.

      Fanboy:
      An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.

      Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.

      Some people had trouble with the term “port”, so just making sure that there isn’t trouble with this term either.

    • Ricardo

      Enigma, facts CAN be biased, especially with the way you put them together.

      And ahhhhh, you finally looked up the definition of what you really are.

      Seriously, get off this site plz. You claim as idlf you like the 3ds, but you bash it and compare it to the “superior” Vita. If you love the Vita that much, go on Vita fan sites -Oh wait l, there aren’t any as good as this site. Really, ever since you came here, all you talked about was the Vita, and defended it like it was your baby.

      Go do something better with your life.

    • Captain Falcon

      @Ricardo ^^ Your comment was not biased at all…
      And what’s wrong with liking the 3DS and pointing out the cons?

    • Ricardo

      @Captain Falcon – Yes, I do not care whether my comment was biased or not, but that I wanted to tell Enigma straight.

      He does not point out the cons of the 3DS, like I said before, he dislikes the 3DS completely. The only thing he likes about the 3DS is the available software.

      I dont get it. Enigma owns a 3DS and a Vita, yet bashes what he owns? Why would you even buy the system then? I mean, who bashes the stuff they buy??

    • Enigma

      A fact is truth. It can not be biased. If it was put together in a biased way then it is not a real fact.

      “He does not point out the cons of the 3DS, like I said before”
      Yeah I do. I’m doing that all the time.

      “he dislikes the 3DS completely”
      No I don’t. I can point out cons about something without having to dislike it.

      “The only thing he likes about the 3DS is the available software.”
      The hardware is cool too. I just prefer the Vita’s.

      “I dont get it. Enigma owns a 3DS and a Vita, yet bashes what he owns? Why would you even buy the system then? I mean, who bashes the stuff they buy??”
      I’m not bashing the 3DS really. I’m saying why I would prefer the Vita, hardware wise, and how I wish that it had the software support of the 3DS. I bought the 3DS so that I could play it’s games. I couldn’t play Kid Icarus, Resident Evil, and great upcoming games like Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter without it.

    • The dude

      Except what you “enigma” say….is NOT Fact.

    • freeksallweek

      Enigma is a c*nt, that is all.

    • Enigma

      I say facts, and my opinions. A mix of both. So what are you talking about?

      Is that seriously the best comeback that you could come up with dude. An unintelligent one like that? Hahaha.

      “Enigma is a c*nt, that is all”

      *Looks down*
      Uhhh I duno dude. I see a dick. But alright, if you say so.

      If that’s seriously the best comeback that you can come up with then alright, whatever. There’s no way that you could beat my in an argument about this anyway. Facts are facts. My opinions are my opinions. That’s all it comes down to, but for some reason, these fanboys just don’t get it. No matter how many times I try to explain it to them. *Sigh*

      3ds vs ps vita cpu debate..?
      ok i am really tired of this crap how foolish the people are they even dont know about nintendo 3ds cpu and its hidden capacities i open 3ds myself and i found out about
      3ds:-
      1] 2 cpu’s its dual core each is cabable of going to 1.8ghz but each underclocked at 800mhz for battery issues
      2]more than 200mb of ram …some people say its 128mb but its more than that…
      3]gpu is is clocked at 400mhz
      4]gpu can be overclocked at more than 1ghz so think about it 3ds haters.underclocked at 400mhz
      5]its 3d think before you talk.
      6]1.5gb of flash memory.
      7]overall cpu of 3ds can be more than 3ghz if overclocked.

      ps vita:-
      1]4 cpus 4 cores running each at 1ghz it isn’t even cable of going up to 1.2ghz.
      2]cpu is same as iphone 4′s
      3]526mb of ram it can be more than that…cause its much better than ps3
      4]gpu is cable of going upto 300mhz..so think about it ps vita lovers.
      5]even if 3ds and ps vita will be hacked..people arent gonna download those 8gb to 16 gb sized games of vita..so 3ds wins
      6]cartridge capacity of 3ds is same as ps vita.
      7]over all cpu of ps vita is upto 4ghz so it sucks.

      3ds havent showed its true capacities and you people are just bragging about ps vita what a shame..but still ps vita has its own advantage.
      other opinions are welcomed….

      Additional Details
      You people just have seen uncharted and killzone trailer of psv so thats why you are boasting about its graphics which makes no sense..and you even dont know its not just about overclocking you ****** its about over all cpu and its performence 3ds is normally clocked more than 2ghz and so as psv at 3.2ghz…even if psv has ps3 quality graphics…so 3ds has more than ps3 graphics plus 3d..so think about it *******..and no one gonna buy that shitty psv cause its expensive and its games too…
      you people havent seen 3ds real graphics yet the mgs and re were just demo of its hidden capabilities..you are just jelous cause you cant accept the fact about 3ds…and psv arm 9x cortex cant even clocked more than 1 ghz so there is not an option…accept the fact you psv lovers are just jelous..haha

      you all guys are just jelous..its not about overclocking and the pica 200 gpu of 3ds is 3 generations ahead you *******..and ps vita is overall same as ps3 which is lame..and oh ya those games like uncharted and wipeout are even lamer…you even havent seen 3ds dont you..?? i opened it myself you *******. psv cant even goto 1ghz you fags use your brain those arm cortex of psv cpu is the smaller parts of xenos cpu and yes psv has good ram but 3ds gpu is around 1 ghz but underclocked at 400mhz..and you think whatever has ign posted its true..?? the information you get on internet is not always true and its of low quality..use some sense fags…
