PS Vita was my main competitor in the buying field. I have always had consoles from Sony, but this time the deciding factor was the time of work and the quantity and quality of games. Plus, I also liked the yellow 3DS XL with Pikachu. :) To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about 3D even before I bought it, but still, the screens are amazing. 3D - real, live 3D, which, unfortunately, is only visible at right angles. A deviation of several degrees threatens to split and fade the picture. However, if you don't particularly like this newfangled 3D, you can turn it off. In this case, the screens will give good viewing angles and a slightly more juicy picture. Games are awesome stuff. There are a lot of really high-quality projects, but unfortunately, the price of 1500-2022 is not very conducive to buying. If the price were at least 500 less. Nevertheless, frequent Nintendo promotions periodically offer to get some game for free. By the way, games with augmented reality are surprising compared to the same Vita. From what you can see in the demonstrations with Vita, you can see a twitchy picture, and in general, not very interesting games. Built-in AR Games on the 3DS are much more interesting in terms of variety and killing time, however, at the end of each of them you need to kill the dragon - something traditionally Japanese. :D There is a lack of full-fledged viewing of films in 3D. I'd love to rewatch Avatar, but cutting each movie into 10 minutes is a nightmare. Perhaps in some ate the feature will be added, but for now, alas. In general, I advise anyone who likes to play on the road to take the prefix. This is the best console travel companion that will definitely not run out of power at the most inopportune moment.
