Playeressence's Furious Francis discusses how the Vita has no shot at catching the 3DS with Nintendo's latest announcement, the media and gamers reaction to the 3DS' slow start with doom articles, and how Pokemon X and Y has and will put an end to those articles for good. He also gets into why gamers are making the same mistakes with the Wii U as they did with the 3DS.

But that was over a year ago and this guy is being incredibly defensive and fanboy-ish.
It's been a year now. No one is complaining about the 3DS. I have not seen any 3DS doom articles on here in a very long time. Maybe they come here and there, but that's because of websites like these and nothing like the PlayStation Vita gets almost daily.
I can only see this article being written because of a personal dispute with someone. It doesn't belong here, thus the website deserves low ratings for bringing this flame bait article.
They don't make your argument stronger; they make it weaker.
There.... done.
"The Vita is powerful and cool but it has no shot at catching the 3DS. The 3DS just has more games, high selling franchises, and developer support. The Vita is powerful and cool but it has no shot at catching the 3DS. The 3DS just has more games, high selling franchises, and developer support. Pokemon X and Y is the final blow to Sony.."
and yet he has the Arrogance to state:
"Pokemon X and Y is the final blow to Sony."
yet he is calling out the other media outlets doing the very same thing to Nintendo, but it's ok for him to do that to Sony?
for all the doom saying Nintendo has taken over both the WiiU and the 3DS just look at the sheer number of doom post's about Sony with the Hack, the financial problems, the PSVita is a fail post's. and you can see they all get their share. Nintendo is not alone in their doom post's, take a look at Microsoft and windows Phone doom post's by the Media.
Nintendo is not the only one. they are not singled out more than anyone else.
Still playing my Vita a lot for FFVII-IX, but my 3DS takes up much more of my free time.
PSN hack was a pretty bad service failure. They were called on it.
3DS sales were luke-warm at worst. Nintendo was deemed an incompetent failure doomed bankruptcy.
Vita sales are less than tepid at best... and Sony is given cautious praise, light handed warnings and admittedly a few exaggerated(in both behavior and perception) doomsayers... who are so insipid and far between they may as well be ignored.
WiiU comes out to as-of-now uncertain sales... and we have a cross between 3ds/vita in reaction, with no moderates... either it may be ok or it is seen as a total failure.
From what I've seen, they all receive the "hate" when it is obvious it is coming for... whatever reason. Yet, with Nintendo it is always far heavier and usually off the mark.
"whatever reason. Yet, with Nintendo it is always far heavier and usually off the mark."
what?
Ok i get what you are saying but Has Microsoft or Nintendo ever had a single website with over 2+ million Hit's stating they hate said company?
Has Nintendo ever had a single website devoted to trash talk or Complete Hatred and has over 2 million in viewership of unique visitors all with the same idea of Hatred of said company?
2,815,228 people are tired of Sony's bullshit.
http://www.thebestpageinthe...
find a single site on the internet with that much hate for Nintendo! is there such a site?
i freaking doubt it very much.
So as i said Nintendo is not singled out anymore than anyone else.
Which isn't saying much... okay, it says nothing. But still.
@superman
it is only such trouble on the sony aggregate site n4g. Just look here for proof: as of this writing there are FAR more sony campers here despite the fact that this is mainly a Nintendo focused article.
How do I know they are "Sony campers"? I recognize the commentors here, and there are no non Nintendo/Sony tags. WHO else would be here... and who happens to be in control?
On the same day big news for Nintendo is released?
En masse, on every article as if by magic?
So, what is the article doing here? What is the point? It has the same purpose you have. In fact, it is no different... but is FOR Nintendo instead of against it.
This site is full of annoying commentors, and I have to say it is a bittersweet site to see the Sony tilt starting to be threatened... by an annoying Nintendo one. But when comment sections like this one pop up, it makes some of the bitter... go away.
The only thing I have against the 3DS is that Nintendo tried to sell it at such a high price at launch when it didn't represent much of an improvement over the DS.
I've owned more Nintendo handhelds than Sony ones(an original Gameboy, a GBA, and two DSLites versus a PSP and a Vita), and I've had games I've loved on all of them.
The purpose of this article is to stir up crap: nobody's spreading "doom and gloom" about the 3DS now. In fact, most articles about the 3DS are about how good it's doing. And it further stirs up crap by being marked with everything OUTSIDE of the 3DS, as if there's really a relevance.
Then there's you. In EVERY Vita article- or near enough as makes no difference- and MOST Sony articles, being the voice of pessimism. You try to use disagrees or agrees as some indicator of who dominates the site, but since you can't glean any sort of knowledge about who voted what way on a given comment, you can't know who "dominates" the site.
Not that that lack of info stops you or others from making your claim.
Also hilarious is how many Sony "fanboys" have less than the standard three bubbles, compared to people like, say, LOGICWINS, who are anti-Sony trolls and have MORE than the standard amount. There are no anti-Microsoft or anti-Nintendo trolls with 6 bubbles running around here.
And if Sony fans really dominated, why such a huge focus on Sony gloom and doom? The default answer is "because it gets hits," but since we Sony lovers are supposed to dominate, doesn't that mean we should be failing these articles in abundance? Shouldn't we be submitting more Sony love and everybody else hate articles?
What you and others say about this site doesn't add up to what's actually HAPPENING here.
Pokemon BW2 was an optional Sequel , you didn't have to buy that one... But this is what every pokemon fan has been dreaming of , and the Every pokemon will buy a 3DS to get it.
This year the 3DS has Animal Crossing , Monster Hunter Ultimate , Castlevania , Luigis Mansion 2 , Dragon quest 7 , Fire emblem , Pokemon Mystery Dungeon , Pokemon X and Y , And many others.
I'm not Vita hater , But In japan , and probably most of the rest of the world , when these 3DS games arrive , the Vita is screwed.
At best it will be the Gamecube and the 3DS will be the Ps2 in terms of sales.
The vita is Fantastic. But , the 3DS is the star of the show....
nice try drone
Now years after nintendo made the biggest price drop in history almost 100 bucks the haters do what they do best. go back to Sony.
There is no need for articles like this getting approved. It's only purpose is to incite more stupid fanboy arguments.
Ronin camps every Vita article XD did he really just post that wall of hypocrisy ?
It is a 3ds article too, and that is how I found it.
I saw you posting polarizing comments on a wiiu article; am I to assume you camp WiiU articles?
What I find really funny is how you find my comment hypocritical... yet everyone here, including you and their reactions, the agree/disagree splits... all prove what I posted to be true. ANOTHER commonly known fact of the gaming media known to all outside of n4g... that people seem oblivious to here.
Well, I'm done. I'm going to be sticking to real game sites from now on.

Wow i see you guys have alot more alternate accounts lol
For all the n4g nintendo bash drones, remember this line:
" The same people who are dooming the 3DS are now dooming the Wii U before it received its killer apps as well"
Pathetic
I hate doom articles for ANY CONSOLE/HANDHELD, true gamers love games not systems.
Edit: I missed how negative this article was towards Sony my first read through. I can see why some people would be angry now. I wasn't looking at it as anti-Sony but anti-doom and gloom articles.
Nintendo did nice overall by responding to the complaints and situation with a whopping $ 80.00 price drop. I admit it wasn't so sweet with the early adopters though.
Dummies on here keep saying they should lower the Vita price because 3ds did so big difference the Vita tech is way more powerful and way more expensive then the weaker 3ds tech so Sony cant just say lets drop the price 80 or so dollars.
Ppl on here really lack common sense sometimes and are always just blinded by fanboyism!.
On another note i admit mem. cards are too expensive but that was another route Sony took to keep the Vita at that price range because they could recoup the loss they make on every vita sold by selling the mem. cards.
