No bullshit about both having their place etc. If you could only have one system which would it be.

Not really into handhelds, but the NGP does look good I must say.

3DS. I just love Nintendo's first party output so much. Also, Pokemon.

Yeah 3DS for me it just looks like the better console moving forward

NGP.

3DS. The NGP won't have Mario, Zelda, Pokemon etc. plus I can see the potential for another PSP situation when it comes to software.

NGP

Better hardware, more potential for games/apps.

Initially I'm thinking 3DS, however that depends on the NGP being about the same in terms of content as the PSP, and that's not a given so... I'll abstain.

3DS, but then me and Nintendo go back a long way...

Still like the look of the new PSP

I voted 3DS, but I think in Japan the NGP will get a good lineup again.

It's a tough choice really, i definitely think i'll be getting one of the two anyway. A big deciding factor will probably be if any of the two Handhelds are able to get an exclusive GTA game. If either were able to, i'd definitely go for that Handheld. But at the moment, i'd say i was swaying towards the NGP

I hope they both get a GTA game, in fact I hope they both get a GTA and a Red Dead game because that'd be all kinds of awesome.

Western devs giving big support to a handheld

I'll probably say 3DS.

It's simply more appealing and something different for me. The NGP is nothing more than a uber smart phone, minus the smart phone.

However I never play handheld games. So my opinion is probably void.

In before 3D IS A FAD.

I prefer the ethos and obsessions of the NGP a lot more than I do those of the 3DS. The idea of a potent device capable of alarming feats of power is a concept that resonates with me; and in the NGP, I also see some element of desire to fashion the most technically impressive piece of hardware possible. NGP does not leave me, at the present, lamenting what things could be like if Sony had gone one stage further. Immediately, there's an impression that the machine's developer has pulled out all the stops, motivated by the pursuit to satisfy gamers whose chief preoccupation is technical mastery. With the 3DS, I recognise the underlying potency of the console and its myriad innovative functions--all very impressive, too--yet accounts that I've read variously on the web make me feel that Nintendo hasn't gone all the way. I feels like the developer's stopped short in places, perhaps motivated by economic necessity or by a focus on other areas, but this understanding depresses me on a superficial level.

Prospectively speaking, though, there really is nothing that I would have any desire to play on the NGP. I've stuck closely with Nintendo over the years, rarely dabbling at all in the territories of Microsoft or Sony, so I haven't allowed myself to acclimatise myself to software that would typically show up on their systems. Traditional third-party software has usually surfaced on Sony or Microsoft platforms--and I've ignored these games as a result, fostering little desire to play them. In truth, I can only see myself going for the 3DS because that's where Nintendo's franchises--the games I grew up with--are going to appear. In the immediate future, however, I'm not so sure I even want to invest in the 3DS: I just don't have any want to play it.

I suppose what I'd really like is for Nintendo's machine to be the higher-end device, when it comes to graphics and such. The problem for me is that Nintendo's aspirations don't align so closely to my own, these days.

Well the complaint about 3DS being last gen is just the same as when DS launched, it was a pocket sized PSone.
