Nintendo 3DS Vs. PS Vita: Videogame Showdown


the latest portable consoles are here
and they’re locked in a battle for your
pocket
welcome to watchmojo.com and today
Nintendo’s 3ds will throw it down
against Sony’s PlayStation Vita the
round one layout both consoles retain
the general aesthetics put in place by
their predecessors neither Nintendo nor
Sony chose to stray very far from the
general look and layout from their
previous consoles while the 3ds
definitely gets portability points for
its protective clamshell design it’s
still quite the hand crapping
contraption for those who don’t still
have their baby teeth the Vita might not
be as comfy as a DualShock but it’s
still a better fit in bigger myths
despite the fact that the screen can be
blindingly reflected in the Sun Sony’s
handheld is more comfortable to hold and
much more pleasing to look at so this
point goes to the Vita winner PS Vita
round to the games while it’s true that
the 3ds suffered from a horrific launch
lineup
it is also had the advantage of being on
the market for nearly a year before the
Vitas arrival as a result the 3ds boasts
a much more compelling software lineup
including Super Mario 3d Land Mario Kart
7 Ocarina of Time and Resident Evil
Revelations sure the Vita has uncharted
golden Abyss LittleBigPlanet and wipeout
2048 but the rest of the lineup isn’t
going to have people well lining up
while both companies are relying heavily
on their established franchises to carry
their launch Nintendo has a clear
advantage by simply having a larger
library of enjoyable titles winner 3ds
round 3 technical features while the 3ds
display may have dazzled everyone who
wasn’t made sick by the 3d it is still
dwarfed by the Vitas 5-inch o le D
touchscreen the Vita also includes a
rear touchpad motion controls and a
crucial second analog stick giving it
the potential to incorporate control
schemes that are even more complex than
those seen on the home consoles as far
as battery life is concerned neither of
the consoles has a clear advantage the
3ds can outlast the Vita if the 3ds
turned off but it conks out an hour or
two before the Vita if it isn’t like
before Nintendo has placed graphics on
the back burner to focus on innovation
namely its glasses-free stereoscopic 3d
technology unfortunately it lacks many
of the essential media capabilities
consumers expect today capabilities they
can find in the Vita lastly while the
Vita does not feature 3d it still smokes
the 3ds in terms of graphics its
comparing the visuals of the ps3 to the
week the 3d is undoubtedly very very
cool but Sony’s handheld just seems to
have the technological advantage in
every other field
one more point for the Vita round for
online and multimedia sony has invested
a lot more into its online
infrastructure and it shows they have a
much more robust online network and
better support for interactive play sure
Nintendo has finally realized how far
behind they’ve fallen online and have
even added playable demos but there’s
still a lot of work to be done yes tree
pass and stop pass are great features to
have but they just don’t cut it as of
right now there is a lot more to
download and experience on the web
through the Vita and in terms of
multimedia capability Sony’s handheld
reign supreme winner PS Vita round 5 the
cost as it stands Nintendo has greatly
benefited from their recent and shocking
price drop to one hundred and seventy
dollars in fact Sony may have to give
its price scheme some similar
consideration as it currently retails
for an off-putting 250 base price with
its 3G version costing three hundred
dollars this doesn’t exactly fly in a
world ruled by Apple products Vita is an
extremely advanced piece of hardware but
many people and parents will likely
gravitate to the cheaper of the two
options winner 3GS by a score of 3 to 2
the PS Vita takes the overall win due to
its gorgeous Hardware inclusion of a
second analog stick rear touch panel 3G
support and ability to match home
consoles in terms of power and online
abilities you’ve seen our verdict now
