PS Vita vs Nintendo 3DS vs iPhone 4S: Spec Compared

NowGamer - In the run up to PS Vita's Japan launch, we've been checking out everything you need to know about the console. While the PS Vita launches in the UK 22 February 2012, we thought we'd continue our examination of the console.

The future is Apple VS Nintendo.

The future is now.

disturbing_flame5297d ago

People can always decide for their future. Revolution is now.

MultiConsoleGamer5297d ago

And Apple is leading that revolution.

disturbing_flame5297d ago

It leads the illusion to live it.

MaxXAttaxX5297d ago (Edited 5297d ago )

And let's not forget games. The most important aspect along with controls :)

So what does Apple and iPhone have anything to do with real gaming? LOL

Here's a sad article: http://www.forbes.com/sites...

@Nathanexplosion

While there's no doubt PSVita has better controls than the iPhone, the CPU, GPU and battery life of the iPhone (or any high-end smartphone) is getting updated on a yearly basis. With nVidia's quad-core Kal-el hitting the market later this year/early next year for tablets, you can bet by the end of 2012, flagship smartphones from HTC, Apple and Smasung are likely to have a quad-core CPU.

But yes, you are right when you say that the PSVita (and the 3DS for that matter) offers better controls than any smartphone currently on the market (including the Xperia Play).

@nathanexplosion

do exaplain "REAL GAMING" for us ?

wether you played pong decades ago or playing modern warfare 3 now gaming is gaming

kikizoo5297d ago (Edited 5297d ago )

lolo@the desperate xlolfanboyz "multiconsole"(yeah, sure), he's so desperate by ps3 leading in all departments, that even the vita is the devil for him :)

every gamer knows that vita is way ahead of any portable device for gaming.

"close second", same kind of haters, is going to amuse everybody with "bububu vita is doomed" like psp, bluray, ps3, move, etc : stop man, each time you FAIL

miyamoto5296d ago

Dude all major gaming related companies had their important shot at shaping the future of video games not just Apple or Nintendo. Everyone of these made important contributions to the future. don't be narrow.

Nintendo = Miyamoto, Game & Watch, Famicom, Super Mario Bros.
Sony= TV sets, modern floppy disks, CD-ROM, CD player, PlayStation, memory cards
Sega = Sonic, Virtua Fighter,
Namco = Pacman
Apple = Apple personal computer, iPod, iPhone etc etc

miyamoto5296d ago (Edited 5296d ago )

Apple admit Briton DID invent iPod, but he's still not getting any money!

Apple has finally admitted that a British man who left school at 15 is the inventor behind the iPod.
Kane Kramer, 52, came up with the technology that drives the digital music player nearly 30 years ago but has still not seen a penny from his invention.
And the father of three had to sell his home last year and move his family to rented accommodation after closing his struggling furniture business .

Crap!

MultiConsoleGamer5296d ago (Edited 5296d ago )

I guess my comments ruffled a lot of fanboy feathers.

There is about to be a dramatic seachange in the gaming industry. The likes of which has not been seen in over 15 years.

The world you grew up in is about to vanish right before your eyes. And major players in the game will be reduced to mere memories, like Sega and Atari.

I do not welcome this new future, I do not support it. I'm just smart enough to see it coming. Let's all hope we survive the change. Many people who are core gamers now who will drop out once the transition has begun.

They are both great in specs (iphone lacks controlls - which is necessary for good games).
But I personally can't resist Nintendo first party Games

user8586215297d ago (Edited 5297d ago )

Nintendo's got an insane lineup that the competition just cant compete with!!!

MH3 + 4, KH3D, RER, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario, DQ7 Remixed (Rumored), Pokemon, Professor Layton

2012 the 3DS is going to blow my mind!!! o_0

This site has too many grafex whores....

madjedi5297d ago

Yeah maybe they have a different opinion of nintendo games than you guys do.

"This site has too many grafex whores...." Right so because people don't want to pay top dollar for hardware and games from 10+ yrs they are gfx whores.

No idiot it's nintendo refusing to advance it's handhelds to a reasonably modern lvl in regards to hardware thats the issue.

You nintendo fanatics can scream graphics whores all you want, it doesn't change the fact that it is a new handheld with old obsolete tech inside of it.

When you start a whole new generation of consoles/handhelds, there is a expected significant jump in visuals ect. To justify you spending $200+ on the next interation of that line.

Sony can release a powerful handheld at a very reasonable price before long, so what is nintendo's excuse?

Learn the difference between actual graphics whores and people that aren't going to reward companies for intentionally using old less powerful hardware.

For the sole purpose of maximising profits, when they can release a more powerful system while still maintaining a healthily profit margin but don't.

Knushwood Butt5297d ago

Funny thing about the Nintendo crowd that shout 'graphics whore' is that whenever the topic of the Wii U comes up, they all start to praise the graphics...

ninjahunter5296d ago

Let us know how that works out for you.

christoph2035297d ago

vita owns both on specs & games.. vita launches with 12 first party games! that's crazy.. + vita will have real online gaming. which will be prtety much a first for a portable machine

CloseSecond5297d ago (Edited 5297d ago )

Specs wont convince the masses to buy a Vita. The only ones drooling over a dedicated handheld are gamers. The majority want a smartphone or other device that compliments their lifestyle.

supremacy5297d ago

But who is to say they can afford an iphone? The phone shouldnt even be in these types of discussions, its just ridiculous.

CynicalVision5297d ago

'The majority want a smartphone or other device that compliments their lifestyle.'

Sure, phones offer more functionality than a gaming device so it's obvious that more people will end up buying a phone, but you won't see many people buying the iPhone purely because of the games.

If you want a platform purely for games then pick the Vita and/or 3DS, for everything else then it'll be the iPhone.

CloseSecond5297d ago

@cynicical:

and there inlies the million dollar question. What sales target does Sony have for the Vita to prevent the Vita going the same way as the Go. Is Sony hoping to shift 5, 10 or 20 million in the first year to continue investing into the Vita. Also, if the Vita gets hacked early on will developers run for the hills like they did with the PSP?

After owning 5 PSPs and a Go I'm going to play a game of wait and see.

CynicalVision5297d ago

The iPhone shouldn't even be on this list, it's unfair considering a new iphone is released every year when the Vita and 3DS are designed to last 5-6 years.

Honestly, if you're looking for a dedicated gaming machine then it'll be the Vita and the 3DS only. The iPhone will never be able to match the quality of games that the other platforms offer.

urwifeminder5297d ago

Have none of the above like to keep it that way.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle28d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7728d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg31d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k430d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS31d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
