The 3ds is currently the best gaming console on the market

The latest consoles on the market are the Ps4, Xbox one, Wii U, and 3DS

3DS is the best out of all of them. Ps4 has mostly multi platform games which you can play on any other system. It has exclusives like knack and killzone, but they don't even look that good and got bad reviews. The Xbox one has the same case scenario as the Ps4 where it has a bunch of multi platform games and it's exclusives aren't even that great. I don't think anyone was excited for Ryse or whatever it's called. The Wii U on the other hand, is a great console. New super mario bros U, Super Mario Land, Legend of Zelda Wind waker HD, etc. Also, it's innovative using the touch pad. However, it's only second best.

The 3DS is the best gaming console in the market. If you deny it, you are lying. It has Pokemon XY, Legend of Zelda OOT remake, Legend of Zelda link between worlds, Kingdom hearts HD dream drop distance, Super Mario 3d land, New super mario bros 2, animal crossing, fire emblem, mario kart, luigi's mansion, star fox, and so much more. Just it having Pokemon XY alone, makes it a stand out console and destroys the competition.

I know a lot of you guys reading this are butthurt, but it's just the facts. Nintendo is killing the competition.

The 3DS is the worst handheld NINTENDO has made next to the virtual boy
The screen is a mirror, the hinge is loose, the battery dries lightning fast, the triggers are mushy, the buttons are downright stiff, and last but no leats, it has no gaemz save from rehashed overrated games and remakes

Fun Fact: All games are developed on PC.

Have fun fiddling with your controllers trying to create superior-to-PC console games

Between the current gen consoles and handhelds, the 3DS has the best library so I'm inclined to agree. I only wish Nintendo took the account system more seriously and actually gave people what they wanted.

I'd say PC is the best, emulate it all while using a controller/touch screen/tablet/mouse and keyboard. Plus you can have 3D or a 4k-6k screen, yea Xbox 1 and PS4 can have one as well, I suppose, but they can't have 2+ =), and you'll never be limited to what you can play. Only down side you'll have to find someone to make the emulators...

I would have to say that Wii U is a must have compared to PS4 and XBox One IMO.

I love the Wii U since November 2012 and it would have been a dumb choice to trade it in. It has plenty of games that interest me.

PS4 and XBox One games are lack luster. The only game that interest me at this point is ACIV, which I already got on the Wii U.

CoD: Ghosts? It's also released on the Wii U, even then, it's nothing special to scream and cry about.
Battlefield 4? Not gonna bother because it's EA.
Killzone Shadow Fall? No thanks. I'd rather play The Last Of Us.
Knack? Boring gameplay...
Ryse: Son of Rome? Nope...
Titanfall? Project X on the Wii U is much better.

the list goes on... No, that doesn't make the Wii U better, I just prefer the Wii U over PS4 and XBox One. If I want a PS4, I'm waiting till 2014 to get it.

@jh92 You can if you have the little mini light accessory that plugged in where the charger cable would go. Worked for gameboy color as well lol.

@Momo123 Of course the 3DS has the biggest lineup, it came out in march 2011 and the PS4 and Xbox One both just came out this month. And the Wii U is doing horribly because Nintendo was not caring at all about putting out solid titles for their new console to take advantage of their 1 year head start on Sony and Microsoft. No they decided to focus on the 3DS until the competition was right on their heels.

It would be more fair to compare the 3DS with the 360 and PS3, but you'd probably say it doesn't count since those have been out way longer (lol hypocritical if you do), but the 360, PS3, and Wii are still the main three consoles everyone has, so you can't really rule them out just yet. Majority of people haven't upgraded to the new consoles.

Besides that, handhelds are in a separate category from consoles to begin with. Different market, handhelds appeal more to the "on the go" gaming people. Not being tied down to a tv screen, convenient portability, that sort of appeal.

And this isn't me defending Sony or Microsoft, I love all three companies, just saying it's not really the right kind of comparison. Try 3DS vs Vita lol.

Are you kidding me? That was the best part of the SP over original gba. No more playing under the sun or in a brightly lit room. Remember playing under the sheets when you were supposed to be sleeping? Can't do that with the original gba.

gimme a break

GBA was propped up by ports and remakes. the launch title was super mario bros 2 for crissake. it relied on SNES ports through its lifetime and even the original titles were just updated versions of SNES era games. the SP had the worst ergonomics of them all and sacrificed glorious AA batteries (endless gameplay forever), for a proprietary battery pack and an unneeded backlit screen. original GBA was better to hold and it played GB and GBC games.

when it comes down to it, the GAMEBOY was best during its heyday of 199X. the games were handheld versions of their console counterparts and still managed to be unique and worthwhile.

I haven't played Pokemon since Platinum which was 4 years ago. I bought Pokemon X/Y and it's outstanding. Plus, all my friends who are also the same age as me (21) play it as well
