Topic: Top Screen VS Bottom Screen. Which is better? STUPID THREAD ALLERT

As we all know, the 3DS has 2 screens. The top one plays game in 3D and better graphics, as opposed to the bottom screen, used as a touch screen a control method, depending on the game.
I ask you the tough question Nintendo Life. Which screen do you like to use more. Are you the kind of person who likes the 3D Screen, or the Touch Screen?

Top screen. It's the screen I'm usually more focused on.

at least from the games I own for 3DS the bottom screen is relegated to a map/menu screen, I guess they got implementing the touch screen for the main screen out of their system with DS maybe.

well by playing Fractured Soul I noticed the graphics are pretty much the same on both screens but since the top one is larger I'll go with it!

Depends on the game. I prefer games that use the touch screen, but that doesn't mean that is where the gameplay is. Ultimately both screens are best when used together in great ways

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

how can there be a competition? both screens are elemental for the 3DS. it's like saying "what's better? d-pad or a-button?"

there is no difference in graphics between the screens besides 3D. most games just use the topscreen for the main action.

Objectively, the two screens are identical with the only difference being that the top screen is a touch wider, and of course stereoscopic 3D. Both screens have the same resolution.

.....It's also a stupid question. I use whatever screen the game wants me to use. It's not like they give you a choice. The two screens were designed to work harmoniously, not competitively.

This was purposely a stupid thread, but I should have emphasized that more...
Edit There we go, that should do it.

serious corner seeing this is now labeled as a stupid threadI can giva superior answer!


the B button with the screens you can see and maybe touch but only the B button is as majestic as........ the B button!!!
with A you make choices(and mostly wrong ones), power can't be used for gaming, X and Y are extras Start and Select are Dying, L and R don't live up to the player expectations(they always break) touchscreens get hate for trying to kill the buttons and normal screens that can't be touched get hate for not being good enough. all that's left is the B button the button you use to make non A actions, the button to cancel foolish choices the BEST SCREEN ANY VIDEOGAME COULD ASK FOR....
