If you get an Ipad, that would be like getting a peice of paper and a pencil.
If you get a 3DS you are getting stacks of paper, scissors, pens, pencils, and coloring supplies. Then nintendo would love you very much, yes.

Stop winking at me. It's creepy.

Also, no one's trying to win you over. Ain't my problem if you want to be narrow-minded.

Said no one, ever.

You know, the fact that you managed to fit that into a perfect rectangle without any edits makes me slightly more impressed than I am creeped out.

I already got mine. It's resting comfortably next to my Dreamcast. I collect dead consoles you know.

Great idea. Those things are great at collecting dust.

Best phrase of the day.

Ipad 3 & Iphone 5 are the best portable gaming devices ever made

The App Store is just full of A+ quality games like Angry Birds, Cut The Rope plus hundreds if not thousands more and most cost just a of £'s for many hours of fun.

Don't get me wrong the 3DS has great games too but they cost like £25 - £30 each.

Its clear that Apple are winning the portable games market hands down, A lot may hate Apple on here but its only because of they're huge success, Android store feels crap in comparison. That's why most Developers choose IOS.

@xBASSxMONSTAx Oh yes Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, those are games that'll keep you playing for hundreds and hndreds of hours. Don't get me wrong, they're good games... but they don't have much depth, almost no story, and GameCenter is the closest they get to online for most games. If one were to buy one $40 game, like Kid Icarus: Uprising(which, in fact, is $5-$10 off at Best Buy for a new copy in fact) then that person would play for 30 hours just for the main story mode, another big chunk of time would be spent online, another would be spent on getting all 360 achievements, and another would be spent on making weapons, 9.0ing chapters, and just replaying the game. What can one do in Angry Birds? Beat the game in about 3-5 hours(depending on which Angry Birds we're talking about), then there's the GameCenter achievements, and 3 starring all the levels and finding al the golden eggs. So maybe in all, 10 hours, if you want to get everything, maybe more if you suck at Angry Birds.(And before you say someone may not be good at Kid Icarus: Uprising, you'd have to TRY to die. 2.0 is the perfect intensity for the first playthrough, but if you seriously suck, you can do it on 1.0 or 0.0, which you have to pay for, but you'd have to TRY to die.)

If you don't feel like spending $40, get a downloadable game from the eShop. They may be more than App Store games, but a lot of them are better. NightSky, VVVVVV(actually, maybe you should get that for PC...), Mutant Mudds(don't get that for PC), Dillon's Rolling Western, Pushmo, Crashmo, and many others are there. With Apps Store games, you pay a buck, you get a buck worth of content, that you'll play for a few hours, then never play again. With 3DS games, you'll keep playing them for hours and hours because of how good a lot of them are.

I don't hate Apple. I'm just saying the games the App Store offers are not as good as 3DS games.

Well that's debatable, some App Store games might not be deep in story line as you said but that's what makes them so great, it's instant pick up and play. The fun factors still there and for the money you pay it's a bargain. I have put in more hours on Angry Birds than any of my 3DS games. I admit when I'm on the bus or at home wanting to waste a few minutes I take out my iPhone rather than my 3DS. And I bet I'm not alone on that either.

First. How many 3DS games do you have and second, what are they?

Depends on what you're going to use the tablet for. If it's gaming mostly, it's not worth it. If you'll use it for casual gaming and work-related things, it might be worth it.

All in all;

If you want a gaming machine.. Buy a gaming machine.

If you want a tablet.. Buy a tablet.

They're extremely different products, so the choice shouldn't be hard IMO.

This! Tablets are useful, Gaming consoles are... for gaming!

I'd like to ask you the same question about iOS.

Also, a small fraction of the iOS games I have/played: http://backloggery.com/games.php?user=pixelman&console=iOS

Every Angry Birds except Star Wars, all 3 Toy Bots, Spy Bot, The Heist, the demo of Cut The Rope, Kingdoms at War, Text+, Tiny Tower, Doodle Devil, Doodle God, Pocket Frogs, and 30 other games I can't remember the names of ATM.

I own about 30 games overall on my iPhone. All of them resemble simple flash games I can play for free on the web.. You can pretty much say that you get what you pay for on iOS.

Seriously? Are trolling?

The correct answer might scare you, I'm afraid.

Wait?! Did the iPad just come out with buttons?
Ok now Ill think abou.....wait!? Now you telling me iPad has OOT, SSBB, NSMBU... Awesom.....
