So then...
I would like to buy a new portable system (even if neither of the ones mentioned are truly new, but they are new to me! ), and cannot decide between a Vita and 3DS.
There are pros to each - I consider the following important:
Vita:
- Nice piece of hardware, can play my PSP games.
- Remote play with PS4.
- Many superior versions of older PS3 games, a liiiiiitle bit of nice exclusives.
- ...otherwise, few big titles, few exclusives, etc. it's a real problem in deciding to splurge a large sum of cash. I am not interested in most ports, which seem to be a huge chunk of Vita's better games.
- Many more genuinely exclusive games!
- Good, strong design. Clamshell is a pro for me.
- Shin Megami Tensei titles.
- Allows girlfriend to use it to play Pokemon (I don't like Pokemon, however).
- ...however, lacklustre online infrastrcuture, no compatiblity within my.. ecosystem I guess.
...don't recommend a Switch, reason why can be seen two posts below =P
