Oh, I don't doubt that and I gave the 3ds a try and it wasn't for me. Might even get a vita. Although last place in sales.

get it!
it's well worth it

Doubt I would play many games on it. I had a psp a long time ago when I was a kid. While it was fun it's just no match for consoles. Would just be a compulsive purchase.

well it depends
I bought my PSP for 1 game and now i have several, some of which are digital so i can play them on my Vita instead

sales? that's your ace in the hole? lol you guys really do crack me up when you speak of sales
1: you don't work for the company and you certainly arent making any commission by bringing sales to the table
you talk of one companies success like you gain from it, its kind of sad lol
back on track..
try to understand that the 3ds came out light years before the vita
that the 3ds has been on the market way longer
that due to its earlier release it should obviously have more sales
and due to its cheaper price tag its more affordable / cost effective for consumers
and since Nintendo is in the market for young children and that Moms and Dads everywhere would prefer their children playing Mario brothers vs call of duty its obvious Mom and Pop are going to buy little 7year old Timmay a 50$ 3ds with Kirby instead of a 200$+ vita with black ops declassified

well for the first year or so 3DS did horrible worldwide (750k sales worldwide)
and just saying 3DS price isn't that much different from a Vita (130 for 2DS, 160 or so for reg 3DS, 200 for the XL and I commonly see people saying they prefer the XL)

But 3ds doesn't require an expensive proprietary memory card

That being said I absolutely agree more people just need to give it a chance and stop looking at sales figures

Sales means f all to using anything

i was thinking more of on the games side where it lacked for a while
more people need to also give some of those more niche games a chance too xD (since Vita has a number of them and they seem to be one of the more common types to get on the vita)

Well sales do mean less 3rd party support, altough the vita hasn't been doing too bad in that regard (mainly indies but still nice games)
That said the Vita looks like a great console, tearaway looks very interesting for one


Talking about sales is relevant if you want to take long term 3rd party support into account (sony isn't exacly releasing tons of games for it so they need their 3rd parties)
The 3ds has been on the market for roughly 10 months more than the vita (so 3ds has been out for almost exactly 3 years, and the vita for a bit more than 2) Yet the 3ds sales are around 44mil. while the vita sits at 7.3 mil.
As it's been mentionned before the price for the 3ds xl is 200 (which is BY FAR the most popular model)
And last, i dont know if 3ds are popular with kids but people at my university are loving them as i keep seeing tons of people with 'em

so I bought Malicious Rebirth when it was on sale and it's pretty fun
I'd recommend giving it a try
