Ps Vita VS Nintendo 3DS

1. I can't get a good grip on holding a Vita. It always feels like it's going to fall out of my hand. that's why got a PS TV instead.

2. what vita game is being played at 05:27? looks interesting

3. If you like gaming then they've both fantastic, both have great games.
   i have both, I have my favourite but so what?!
   The 3ds being region locked would be worth mentioning.

   I tell you this in all honesty …
   Neither of these are my all time favourite handheld.

   Comparisons are odious friend.

4. Basic business rule, never stop promoting and anounsing your product. you think coca cola doesnt know they are famous? they know and they still invest millions everytime there is a chance, rather with sport events, music festivals, comersials or any other way economists have to put their stuff in just to be seen by the public.

5. 3DS has a much more games library

6. You're a damn fool, but I love your videos.

7. I have both systems and they are great, but the Siwtch reigns supreme, and will continue so in the near future. So many excellent JRPGs coming its way, and that awesome library just expanding. Add in the older remakes also coming out for the Switch now and we have a perfect RPG machine 😉

8. In 4:45 after yeahhh , i thought youd say : "ONLY IN JAPANNN" LOL.LOL😑

9. Nice Video bro ! i wiiiiish i could grab a 3ds xl somehow.. i know it's a killer !) but yea personally I simply follow the games men , i grew up with capcom and franchise like metal gear solid and such..so the vita naturally feels like home to me !)

10. Vita is a better system. Feels better in your hands. The oled screen is top notch.

    3ds feels like a cheaper system. But it has a better overall library. The support from nintendo is way more than Sony's support for the vita.

11. 3ds has so many great games

12. I have two Vitas. One with American account, the other with a Japanese account. I typically play the Japanese one more since they still get games and it seems to be more popular there. 3DS is fun also though I play the Vita more. Only thing I don't like is the fact I prefer playing games on a bigger screen. I wish they would make adapters to play your portable games on a TV or monitor.

13. Sigh..it's such a shame that the Vita died too soon, so much potential for Sony handheld…all wasted due to idiotic business decisions…It was the perfect [lace for playing JRPGs that people missed out on (besides Steam)…

14. Couldn't agree more. Both consoles are great, but for JRPG fans a Vita is a must-have console. So far, in fact, my favorite console of all times given its great performance and awesome game-library. Even though I haven't hacked my Vita, even its prices are way more affordable than the 3DS given the good discounts on the PSN store.

15. Same here, I bought 3DS to play Tales of the Abyss then I don’t feel like to continue the game because I don’t feel comfortable with the back buttons because of the folding screen is somewhat blocking my fingers.

16. 3ds has the benefit of having access to the DS library, which probably only second to ps2 for the amount of quality rpgs. Dragon quest, final fantasy, Megaten, all the big hitters were there multiple times over. Great games, but the hardware was lacking. I play all of my games on citra now with a ps4 controller while my 3ds xl gathers dust lol. Vita is about 10x cooler in hand and has a great screen, but I loved my psp and vita wasn't backwards compatible. If only they used game carts and never tried UMDs …. Also a lot of good rpgs just never got localized, which is a shame. Quite a few psp rpgs do have fan translations tho which is a big plus for me. I'm looking forward to .hack//Links 100% translation later this month 🙂

17. Great video as always. Couldn't agree more. Also, congratulation on 8k subscribers. People are starting to realize this is the best JRPG channel.

18. Why would i buy psvita if i can play 90% of their (non fanservice crap) games in any other console
    Sorry but if im gonna buy a console, it's goin to be for the exclusives

19. Round Six: Which console is easier to hack⁉️😂😂

20. I rather the ps vita than 3ds because i like all kind of genres so i loved the fighting , Rythm, Hack'n slash, and Visual novel games, because they were more comfortable on the system another thing is that the i didn't like the Pokemon and Mario rpg games on the 3ds which is a shame because i used to loved those series on the NDS

21. Yo not sure if you saw the video but i saw some video about Sony releasing an update earlier this week for the Vita which may lock apps that hack the game so be careful because it may lock the app that lets you get hacked games. The video i saw this from is from some guy's channel (Tech James if you want to see the video). The version that supposedly does this is 3.69, granted it does have one pro which is mainly if you have ps4 because it makes remote play is a bit more stable (if you rely on hacking and don't have ps4 or just don't care for remote play than it's not really necessary). So i'd go and make sure it didn't update automatically or anything.

    As for the video itself ya i prefer the vita and wish Sony wasn't stupid with how they handled it. If they didn't fuck up the memory cards (hell they easily could've just reduced the memory card prices) than Vita should've easily have overtaken the 3DS. Vita even now is an awesome jrpg system. Granted i think I've been moving a bit more and more towards Switch for handheld (not really hard since there haven't been as many new Vita games coming to the west either recently). If Sony makes a Vita 2 or some other handheld i'll probably pick it up as well…..just gotta hope they learned their lesson and won't fuck the memory cards/their prices if they do.

22. also love both.. tho the 3ds had some really awesome jrpgs through atlus support (vita on the other hand gust and falcom <3)..

    when you add bc to it (ps1 and psp especially with a hacked vita, so you´re not restricted to the psn / and ds+vc to the 3ds) both handhelds belong to the ultimate experiences with their libraries

23. I have 97 vita games and I love it. The new Nintendo 3ds xl’s dual screens are so dumb. The design for the 3ds is highly impractical. I have about eight 3ds games as I just got into it. I definitely prefer the Vita but Nintendo’s originals are obviously way more plentiful that’s for sure.

    That’s including backwards compatibility with the Vita for ps1 and PSP.

24. Why not both? :3

25. For me while i own very few games for both i play on my 3ds more often then i do on my vita in fact theirs not many upcoming vita rpgs i'd want to play they will be for the 3ds once the mario and luigi inside story remake gets released on the 3ds in 2019.

26. I like them both, but Vita Remote Play is a killer feature for me. There are some great games on both!

27. Really wanted this video from you, thanks alot, great Content as always ! Personally, I bought the 3dsxl FIRST cause I always was a Nintendo guy who loved Pokemon and Monster Hunter games. Eventually I got bored of the 3ds and found that the PS Vita had many amazing games even after stupid fuckin Sony killed it. So I purchased the Vita and overall it's Soo much better than 3ds in every way. It's just that if Sony continued to support it ,the Vita would dominate !

28. Could you redo top 10 best gamecube jrpgs but with commentary?

29. People still cant hack vita for emulator yet. So +1 for security ?

30. Radiant historia and Xenoblade Chronicles… Yes the 3ds should have won.

31. I prefer playing on the Vita a tad for it's better controls and I liked that it has trophies. I love that the 3DS has the clam shell design and so the screen is more protected while on the go. 3DS also has more games to choose from and plays DS games. I disagree that Sony turned there back on the Vita. Sony brought some amazing exclusives to the Vita, but the Vita just wasn't selling. Maybe the memory card situation pissed people off too much. Annoying thing about the 3DS is, you had to rebuy new models to get around it's flaws. In the original 2 models for example it had the horrible 3D. Now the Switch is out and they made the thing too dam big and so you can be sure there will be a more compact version later.

32. The vita has a grear potential but it's all because sony lost the faith in handheld market completely so no more support which lead the system to be less popular and only core gamers like it while nintendo support pushed the 3ds between everyone which is a better choice for handheld market because it's not a market that should completely focus on hardcore gaming and this is what made the 3ds popular between all audiences , I am a huge jrpg fan and I love that I can play the 3ds exclusives like fire emblem awakening bravely default shin megami tensei beside being able to do some fun and relaxing stuffs like mario kart animal crossing miitopia not alone but with other friends that are not core gamers but they love to play some simple games like the ones I mentioned before this is the main idea of handhelds, also the major problem of the vita that most of it's great games available on better and more powerful systems like ps4 so there is no real reason to own vita while 3ds has so much exclusives that I only can play them on it ,sorry but the vita is not a good choice for handheld gaming while most of it's games are available everywhere

33. I have a 3ds but i think a vita is better for me because of jrpgs and i dont really care about nintendo games, the only reason i got a 3ds was to play atlus games (persona q, smt, etc), totally worth it though xD

    ps… nice trillion music in the background around minute 3

34. you and your crazy eyes! good vid Erick San. 😉

35. Correction if you mod the Vita (which is very easy by the way) and get an sd2vita card (which are only like 4 bucks on amazon) you can use any sd card you want on your Vita so storage problem solved.

36. Vita always felt like an absolute premium device in terms of build and hardware. Dual screen itself is amazing if used well, but unless it was a central mechanic that whole touch screen and using the stylus was something I always avoided with the 3DS. Hell, I didn't even realize stylus was telescopic and could extend for good number of months.

37. just so you know, there's a way to strem vita games to your pc and use a ps4(or ps3 i belive) controller to play on your pc, essentially making it a home console but through streaming, that way you only need to record your pc screen to get better vita gameplay

38. I still say its a bit preemptive to say which is better, you've had the Vita for what? a month maybe?

39. I would put the PSP above the vita, never mind the incredible 3ds. I have a PS3 and PS4 which in my eyes makes the vita obsolete for rpgs. 3ds is swimming in RPG exclusives. In my humble opinion the 3ds makes a clean sweep.

40. I think the Vita also wins the retrocompatibility section. You can rock some good ol PSP gems with both analog sticks. But i love the 3ds also, had a regular one but sold it, i might get an XL one.
    Hidden 3ds gems yeah!

41. Console preference varies with different people and I find nothing interesting in vita

42. I agree the vita is a much more sexy system with better controls, clearer graphics and less overall nonsense never been a fan of gimmick stuff. But I would still have to say the 3DS is the better console for JRPGs only because except like a couple games everything on the Vita can be played on something with a huge screen and better graphics.

    I personally have never been into handhelds period I don't want to play games on the go, I want to play my games on my comfy couch so something with games I can't get anywhere else will always win for me.

43. So there's an adapter that lets you use a microSD card on the vita. You should look into it. Also on Amazon there's a 60 dollar 200gb microSD card. Check skullanators (I think that's how you spell it) channel he has several reviews of different adapters although it may be a little outdated. There is a 256gb MicroSD card but the amount of memory compared doesn't make it worthwhile. I know you're not rich (lol who is) but if you invested in a 400gb microSD card (it's currently 150 on Amazon) maybe you can switch between 3DS and PSVita? Idk if that's actually possible tho so take it with a grain of salt and as a possible suggestion. Love your videos. Keep em coming.

44. Vita is so sexy! What a beautiful console. I had a 3dsXL and after finished some of my preferred games, I sell it. Sooner or later I'll get a "sexy vita" too.

45. The 3DS started out looking like a failure, seriously look up the reveal people were giggling at it.Then they made the 3DS ambassador program for the people who bought the 3DS before the first price drop. The Vita technically has a better screen obviously, but the 3DS in my opinion doesn't look that bad by itself. The only time I noticed the bad quality screen was looking at YouTube, Netflix or Hulu. Or when comparing the JRPG Conception II Children of the Seven Stars on both systems. On a side note that's probably the worst retail RPG on both systems it's by Atlus and it plays like a parody of Persona,not in a good way. The 2DS feel really good the shoulder buttons don't cramp your index fingers. The circle pad is a loss you would not believe how many people have lost a match of Smash Bros because the circle pad didn't read the input correctly, this also transfers into Tales of the Abyss. Now the games,I wish more PS2, Dreamcast and GameCube RPGs got ported over to the 3DS but I think that the 3DS and Vita are tied on games as well. Some person in my area is selling 25 Vita memory cards on Facebook marketplace for 1,200$ and I don't even know if that's a good deal or not lol while you can buy a 512GB SD card for around the same price as a 32GB Vita SD card. I really think Sony taking advantage of fans brand loyalty really hurt them. While I think that it's a tie in the west,in Japan I would give it to the 3DS because including Virtual Console and DS backwards compatibility the Japanese 3DS has all eleven Dragon Quest games.

46. Vita is best, I’am super jealous 3DS has Culdcept revolt that needs a PS4 Port already especially considering Culdcept started on PS2 in the usa.

47. I admit the Vita is much powerfull. It had great potentional, but Sony screwed up and didnt support it.

48. Come on, round four is bullshit. 3DS wins by a landslide.
