Choosing between PSVITA/PSP and N3DS

[ImhotepTheSecond]

I've saved up enough to get either one, but choosing which is tough and wanted to hear you guys' opinion. I'm going to mod/hack either one for maximum utility. What's making it harder is a lot of my favourite series are split between the two. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is only on PSP, but Dream Drop Distance is only on 3DS. Persona 3/4 on PSP/vita, but mainline SMT are on DS/3ds. I did think of getting one of those retro handhelds and will consider them, but having the real console gives me a chance to pick them apart and understand their hardware better and all that nerd stuff. So, what do you think? Besides my choice consider this a general discussion for comparing the two. I find both consoles very interesting in their own ways

try emulate them on your phone first. buy the one that doesn't run very well on your phone.

Man, what a dick move to have exclusive games splits in different consoles

I will say 3DS if you really want to pick only one tho, Yeah PSP Vita has better system operatives and both Vita and OG has better ports than some 3DS/DS ports, but i personally prefer 3DS's touch better and the analog feels like the OG PSP's... assuming you find one that isn't battered

Cons would be the main gimmick is just a visual effect that may hurt your eyes, huge size may make it harder to fit in your pockets rendering the portable part harder and while it had winners it had more limited software compared to the PSP Vita

Both psp and 3ds can emulate perfectly on my phone. Vita emulation is weak in general but most vita games have official pc ports

Hii ! As someone who currently has both, I'd say get the 3ds first because it has a bigger game Library (i think?) than the psvita, Though to be honest id say that It depends on what games you like more, I personally got the 3ds first because it had a lot more games that I liked as opposed to the psp/psvita. Now that I have my PS Vita, I'd still say that if I had to choose 1, I'd prefer the 3DS because it has my favorite games (plus u can play DS games on it) But ! I still love my psvita and I'm glad that I bought it hehe, so maybe u can do the same as me and maybe just buy the psp/psvita later after you get ur 3ds !
