With the Nintendo 3DS XL launching yesterday, we though it would be fun to see how it looked compared to the PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi XL, and Nintendo DS Phat.

vita still has a bigger screen.
Still can't figure out why they wouldn't have added a second analog for this overhaul.
Is the 3DS bigger then the VITA? If so, what happened to the whole debate that the VITA was too big, therefore not portable and how that was a big blunder on Sony's side and how are we going to fit it in our pocket and blah blah blah. But Nintendo makes the 3DS bigger and there are no protest about it's portability. Why is that? And if it isn't bigger then ignore what i just said.
Of course the Vita screen is more vibrant, it has an oled screen that's supposed to look amazing; that's its main selling point! However the 3DSXL's new screens, enhances the 3D effect in so many ways, that it makes the original 3DS screen look like doodoo... At least now the transition from PS Vita to the 3DSXL isn't as bad as one might think!
The XL screen in 3D is simply stunning in every way and actually breaths new life to older titles such as RE:Revelations, and KI:Uprising. I was blown away the second I popped in RE: Revelations and seen how magnificent the 3D effect had improved.
One thing that bothered me during this comparison of screens was that Vita was shown showcasing Uncharted, while the 3DSXL showcased NSMB2, which in my eyes it should have been RE:Revelations to showcase a proper comparison.
All in all they both offer unique and definitively different experiences so much so, that they both warrant a purchase, in my eyes of course; only now the 3DSXL is a way better buy and feels a hell of a lot better than the original 3DS. I got mine on Sunday and have yet to put it down...
One thing I stress is that Gamestop is giving away a free 3DS title with the purchase of a 3DS or 3DSXL, and to my understanding, they weren't advertising it. I went back yesterday and got my free game. So dropping $199.99 for a 3DSXL, a 4gig memory card, and a free game, is still a pretty sweet deal!
