Look, as far as the Vita's graphical capability, it's just my opinion. Maybe my vision just isn't as good or something but I wasn't really wowed any more by the vita's display. But the graphics aren't really that important. Gameplay is what matters.

As var as sticks vs pads... I actually prefer the pads (both on the 3DS and the PSP) for the simple reason that they seem more able to stand up to the abuse a portable system takes. I agree the sticks are a little more comfortable to use, but I'd be concerned about the sticks breaking/wearing out a lot more (This was a major problem for early analog sticks, such as on the N64)- On a console you can just replace the controller, but the average user can't replace the sticks on a portable system since they're built in. For MH3G i might actually just use the touchscreen to adjust the camera, but I'll give the add-on pad a chance. (My understanding is they were bundling this with the game, much like the classic controller pro on the wii)
