Hardware and Software(Not the games mind you) on the 3DS are simply terrible, its so ancient that it baffles me sometimes.

The multitasking is okay i guess if you are not used to anything, but compared to the Vita it feels ancient. Having to close a game to check the eShop or settings, its just really annoying. If it can run the browser as a secondary app, why cant it do settings or the eShop?

The worst offender is probably the eShop. Forget to turn on WiFi before going into it? get a weird error telling you to close the app, turn on WiFi and then start the app again. Its weird as hell. Then once you get into the store its almost impossible to freely browse the selection, if you dont know what you are looking for you, you wont find it easily. Lack of account system and the fact that Nintendo doesnt price competitively also are a giant turn off for me.

If somehow the 3DS and Vita had the same games, i could not see why anyone would want the 3DS.
