@nathanuc1988 Ummm, they can also argue about the price. Which is probably why I won't own one for another year or two. The PS3 only costs $50 more than there handheld, something about that is just crazy. Also, the game library is... I'd give it good. The N3DS (which I own) gave me around 12 virtual games including Super Mario, Metroid, Dr Mario, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, The Legend Of Zelda, The Adventures Of Link, TLOZ: Minish Cap, TLOZ Four Swords, and others ALL FREE for buying the system when it first came out. (again the games were from the virtual console and only in 2D, but free games.) Then gave us great games for $50 such as Ocarina Of TIme, (although a remake, they did improve the graphics and character designs,) which the 3D was AMAZING for, Tales of The Abyss (another remake with updated graphics and thoroughly impressive and fun 3D game,) Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (which was my first experience of the game, though all they done was directly port the game and added SOME 3D,) and Kid Icarus Uprising which also had breathtaking 3D graphics, and just an all around fun game which brings nostalgia. Now, we got Mario 3DS, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D. These are just the games I own, there are other extremely popular games that have been released as well (Metal Gear, Splinter Cell, Mario Kart, Dead Or Alive, Ghost Recon,) that I can't comment on either way because I have not played them. Great upcoming games are Fire Emblem: Awakening, Castlevania: Mirrors Of Fate, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (hopefully), Pokemon X and Y, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, SMT Devil Hunters: Soul Hackers, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii remake with some new content), and a Dragon Quest VII remake. And that's just the games we know of as of now. Point of the story is, the 3DS has a TON of great games, 1st and 3rd party, and looks like they are not slowing down a bit. I know the PS Vita does as well, but the point is for around $150 less per console (best of both consoles), $100 for a memory card (the best), and this is before you add tax. Few people are gonna pay the extra money.
@nathanuc1988 I get your point, the PS3 is doing fine, but it's still the 3rd best selling home console out of 3 systems. They just aren't the giants they used to be with the PS2
