iCrap 4:3 screen is just stupid stupid stupid. Who the hell watches ANYTHING on a 4:3 screen anymore unless you are forced to at some old bar/restaurant becasue they still have ancient 27" CRTs on wobbly mounts circa 1999 just waiting to fall down and kill someone?

Not sure you want to be looking at a tablet for gaming though, as an example I just picked up a full blown 17" gaming laptop on sale back in September for $520 shipped which is right around what the 64GB Nexus will cost. Crossfired video cards, quad core AMD and 6 gigs of ram right out of the box. Running Skyrim on Ultra with a bunch of mods enabled to make it look even prettier and there are going to be a bazillion sales with the holidays coming up so you might want to get a laptop if gaming is your thing.

But yeah, IMO the Nexus 10 is the better of the two tablets easy and Android is only catching up to Apple in terms of apps. There is also the Asus Transformer Infinity to look at which has the brilliant idea of a SD card slot (really Google/Samsung, you couldn't even have the decency to put a microSD slot in this monster somewhere?) I hear that the Transformer has issues with constant reboots and is glitchy though.

Thank you. And yes I'll re-iterate for the Apple slaves out there. Buying a tablet for gaming is POINTLESS if you are going to spend ipad/nexus 10 prices. If you are going to run alot of games you are going to need the higher memory devices so you're looking at $600 for the Nexus and a few $hundred more for the ipad. I got a new quad core, dual video card 17" laptop from Newegg back at the end of September for $520 shipped. Is it an Alienware? No it isn't but it runs all the newest games on high-ultra settings and it fits just fine in my Targus backpack so its portable enough.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverHedgehog:
Ok, cool, you don't think that tablets are good for gaming. Why the **** do you have to insult Apple users, though?

"iCrap"? "Apple slaves"? What's with all the bull**** nicknames, Mr. Fandroid? Android devices are in the same league here, and you just insult one group - as usual calling them all idiots and the devices crap.

You know, a gaming laptop is a bad option for people that actually want a portable device. 17 inch screen. That's almost twice the size of an iPad. I also bet that it's 4 times thicker, and the battery lasts for like two hours. So yeah. It's not portable at all, and sure as hell won't work for portable gaming.

If anything, iPad is the best option here. It's not even about which one has a better GPU (in this case the iPad), it's how optimized it is. This is one advantage iOS has over Android: since there is a small amount of devices, developers can optimize their games to run well on them - even if they don't have the latest specs.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromejeremytay:
I kinda agree with the dude above me, specs is incomparable among hardware with different operating systems. You do not have 1GB RAM in ps3 nor xbox 360 and yet the games there run just as good as a 8GB RAM laptop. It's kinda about optimisation. And as i said before I have a qosmio f750 gaming laptop but I just don play games in it.

I'll just have to keep myself up to date about gaming experience in nexus 10 since I like using android more than ios devices, but the ipad mini is just very temptating.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
Rofl, Xbox and PS3 games are dumbed down graphically vs their computer counterparts. A game optimized for a powerful computer rig is going to look almost like a CGI movie, a game on the Xbox or PS3, while looking pretty good, will not.

And I do stand by my stance that those who just rush out and grab up the latest and greatest Apple whatsits like all the sheep who helped sell out a CLEARLY inferior product in the ipad mini are iSlaves. Am I an Android fanboy? I would say I'm a fan of Android yes but if Apple came out with an omfgwtfbbq product that really innovated like they did back in the day I'd be all over it but they haven't. The Nexus 10 is easily better just for the display alone, don't even get me started on the 7" tablet sector where the Nexus 7 is so far and away better it isn't even funny.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverHedgehog:
Your laptop will perform like crap in a year, and you call 17 inches portable? You are out of your mind.

Games aren't just about the graphics, they're about the FUN. Yes, a console won't have all the cool SFX, but that's not the point of gaming.

Nexus 7 isn't really better - even if the screen has a higher resolution, it's still crap - the colors are all washed out.

And you are lucky if you find a model that doesn't have any issues - when I ordered mine, the first tablet had screen lift, and I keep reading stories about people ordering third or fourth tablets.

And cut this **** out with 'iCrap' and 'iSlaves'. You know, people may have different opinions from you. Maybe they don't want to bother with custom ROMs, with ASUS and Google support, with the Play Store, which has no tablet apps at all. Maybe they want to use all the apps they bought for the 10 inch iPad on a smaller device.

All those people want is a tablet that just works - and iPad Mini delivers on that, unlike the Nexus.

So yeah, get real. Just because not everyone such a nerd, and doesn't need the latest hardware, doesn't mean they're a sheep or a slave or an idiot.

Enjoy throwing away money at apple and their outrageous profit margins.

This is an android forum and you will see apple bashing. Deal the F* with it. On an apple forum android will be bashed and anyone supporting android will get bullied on the site, well same goes here.

anyways talking about portability enjoy:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4209#kf

and come on REALLY OUYA?!?!?!?!? That **** is basically mobile games on a big screen. You are better off getting the ultrabook. Atleast on that you have access to full blown games and a huge library of steam and indy games. OR you could just get the vita. Either way both are better for gaming than an ipad/android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromejeremytay:
Hmm... I see. Well the ipad has its good side, the nexus has its too. Stop using those dreadful words like icraps and iDiots.

I bought the ouya cause its cheap, plus if it turns out to be a boom in my country, I could see it with a higher price and earn money!

And that's not a portable laptop at all.

Look at that. An iPad is already pushing it in terms of portability, but this ultrabook is just overkill. Not only that, it's also almost 3 times heavier.

And come on, who the hell will take out a laptop and play on a train? Not only it'll look ridiculous, it'll also be a ****ty experience, because playing on a trackpad sucks.

So yeah... iPad is still the best option.

Thank you for clarifying it man. As the topic I created is plain and simple, which on of these tablets are better for gaming? I have an Android tablet for emulator games using FPse app, its simply amazing. But I'm talking about new and high end games, which one will come out a blast?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Probably the iPad
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raytraceme:
Honestly what's wrong with the vita? Its a far better choice for portable gaming

Hell even the 3ds is better. Android/ios will not garner you the gaming experience that the vita/3ds will.

Silver if you don't want to deal with **** then stop crying like a baby trying to defending apple.

Open if you want a direct answer then YES ios is better for gaming vs android. Vita/3ds kills both.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverHedgehog:
He probably wants a tablet that does more than just gaming.

And I'm the one crying? At least I'm not throwing petty nicknames in every damn post I make.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
Honestly, the other night I was just thinking "I really should pick up a 3DS to get the updated Ocarina of Time" which alone makes the 3DS worth the purchase price. Ocarina could very well be the best video game ever made, definitely top 3. However I digress. For a straight answer about gaming RIGHT now on a 10" tablet... yeah the ipad probably holds the advantage right now just because Apple tablets have been around longer and there is more available in the Apple appstore. Give it a year or two and it'll be reversed. Also, I say again, the 4:3 ratio screen is just really stupid on Apple's part. I mean, would ANYONE here buy a 4:3 ratio flatscreen TV anymore even if it had better specs than most everything else out? I highly doubt it. Same deal with a 4:3 ratio tablet vs a 16:9 ratio tablet and the Nexus 10 even has a higher resolution to boot although at the specs both screens are putting out the human eye probably won't be able to tell the difference.

As far as my laptop being outdated in a year as mentioned in another post... Lol any computer is "outdated" 6 months before it comes out. As far as not being able to play anything in a year um no but that is off topic vs a tablet. Unless you are talking about the advantage of being able to add multiple TERABYTE hard drives and jump up the ram vs being stuck with an non-modifiable tablet with a measly 64GB storage at most. For portability, I'm a flying mechanic with the AF, I'm gone about 200 days a year and I know more about portability of electronics probably than anyone else on here, I take my 17" laptop EVERYWHERE in a Targus laptop backpack. Its already been to 4 continents since I got it in September and its nice to be able to setup for movie marathons or gaming sessions on long flights. I suppose I'm spoiled as I have access to power ports though...

Don't get me wrong, I understand why tablets appeal to ppl, just not for gaming but its not up to me to dictate other ppl's opinions and likes, I just post what I think and why. And I stand by my opinion (which is like an a-hole in that everyone has them) that Apple products are overpriced, now inferior, and riding on the coat-tails of the devices that came before them that actually WERE better than the competition.

Oh, Silver good job also calling me a Nerd on a device discussion/modification forum on the internet when you are all butthurt by "icrap" and "islave". Rofl, I am a Nerd and damn proud of it. Don't hate because even a jailbroken Apple product can't touch a worked Android.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soul0Reaper:
Honestly emu game quality is far superior to most of the games on either platforms. Give me legend of zelda over any gameloft game. On mobile you do not play for graphics. Nintendo has established that given psp vs ds and 3ds vs vita sales. Pokemon outsells vita uncharted xP. I'd say go nexus 10 and enjoy emus. I don't think any of the cydia ipad ones work anymore. Most of the big ios titles will eventually get ported anyways. That being said if your dead set on only comparing ios vs android then yes buy the ipad 4. Superior gpu, lower resolution, and limited fragmentation along with a established tablet ecosystem means more and better optimized games.

Or maybe get the 3ds or vita for a dedicated game platform :P

4:3 vs 16:9

I think of myself as an Android fan. However, i must confess I like the 4:3 form factor for a tablet for reading (which is what I would do most with a tablet). 16:9 is better for movie but to narrow when viewing a web page, book or a magazine.

This is all a matter of personal preference I guess.

Silly arguing over titles because any game worth buying are on both platforms.

"Why is your screen so small?"

Just this question is enough to call somebody out on being a douche.

You just completely fail to see past your nerdiness - not everyone needs a giant screen, not everyone wants to mess with ROMs all day.

They want a WORKING device - a device they can rely on, which won't fail or reboot or freeze randomly, which will be guaranteed to run the latest OS version, which will support all the apps.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

pls everyone. stop being a kid. If an appleboy wants a good phone out of the box already he gets it. if you want better optimization, get android.

popcorns are already out.

the OP is merely asking for something in comparison. YES nexus 10 had potentials. but its a device. it has strengths. Nexus 10 is awesome yeah. but if you just want a PORTABLE "TOUCH" device. i would really recommend ipad. why? you would not bothered by custom roms or anything. just entirely gaming. no Optimizations.

Nexus 10 is good for a rounder, not just games though.

AND DONT COMPARE LAPTOPS. even if you compare laptops to Mobile devices. it will make a difference.

And laptops make a **** in a year? i dont think so. seen 300FPS gaming? Laptop. Deal with.

PS3 PSvita. consoles? THEY are totally dedicated to Gaming so it wouldn't have a single lag.

ive been on consoles for years and nothing gets my eye for a lag.

And also a previous poster's comment, I COMPLETELY forgot about bluetooth PS3 controller support via android. That alone makes the gaming aspect an automatic win for the Nexus. I mean I can plug into the Bionic lapdock I'm getting via a USB and rock a Logitech or 360 controller but not everyone has that option. I'd honestly rather use a PS3 bluetooth anyway as it is pretty much the best controller ever made. Except for the N64 controller maybe...

Well I haven't used nexus 10 so I can't say much about it ,but I think it would be better to get hands on before making a decision (considering you have used ipad) both are good as far reviews goes,and for gaming too, for nexus 10 just consider 2 things less space & no 3g model available if you are ok with these things then looking at price n10 looks better deal,again ecosystem(os) is the deal breaker and that you will have to decide yourself.

Ipad has better developer support when it comes down to apps,but it wont

Take long time for android to catch up too

I think difference in their GPUS and screens is very small ;wont effect gaming/gaming experience

The iPad 4 has a much more powerful GPU,and gets the absolute most developer support for gaming so I would recommend the iPad if that's your most important aspect.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raytraceme:
no it doesnt plus the mali 604 has dx11 support. Tegra 4 will beat all though cuz it's going to use its kepler gpu for the soc.

And if you ALREADY have an android tablet then why NOT get the vita? You cant beat the experience you get with games like uncharted, little big planet, black ops, killzone, assassins creed, and all stars battle royale on any other portable tablet/phone.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverHedgehog:
What's the point of having a GPU with DX11 support if the OS doesn't support it? Unless you plan on porting Windows RT, it's pretty pointless.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
As mentioned, DX11 support is pretty meaningless. It's nice, but it's not a selling point or proof as to why the Nexus 10's GPU specifically would be better/worse then something else. Oh, and comparing current tech to future tech... isn't really too fair either. I would expect Tegra 4 to have better specs then whatever is out today...

Nexus 10 has a better screen... and I can use controllers (of possible better quality). Pair that with the better GPU and overall specs, and the Nexus 10 can (imo) beat the Vita experience. However, handheld-wise, Vita would probably be far easier to use of course :p

And of course your comparing games that don't exist at all on another platform. Maybe I love DEAD TRIGGER, but that doesn't exist on Vita. Maybe I love Uncharted, but that isn't on Android. Only middle ground here might be if the Nexus 10 became Playstation Certified, and I don't know when/if this may happen (Nexus 7 I last heard was going to be, but isn't yet afaik).

With that in mind (and this is imo): Very specific-gaming = Vita. Overall usage = Nexus 10. In any case, this isn't even a PS Vita-related thread judging by the title lol... Not too sure how the Vita got brought into this exactly :p

If my only (yes, only) intent was to play games belonging to both the iOS and Android platforms, iOS might just be a better option, due to developers (from what I've seen) polishing games better on iOS, in comparison to Android (it's easier for developers to code for a small range of products; which is why you see a lot of mobile games advertising iOS only. Same reasoning is why a lot of games are console-exclusives too; I personally think it's just lazy developers imo who can't be bothered most of the time...). But both an iPad and Nexus 10 aren't "that" far off on terms of gaming (it's not like comparing a Gameboy Color to a 2013 high-end computer). Both have the hardware to handle some pretty extensive games, and both have the operating system capable of handling 3D graphics.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Whoever mentioned the Vita, I find it rather disappointing and limited. You're better off getting a Galaxy Note II that serves as phone, tablet and portable gaming.

iPads suck for gaming because they don't support top quality Sony PS3 bluetooth/USB and Xbox controllers and the poorly placed back facing mono speaker.

Android is best for gaming especially Note 10.1 since the CPU/GPU is plenty fast the resolution, it has stereo front facing speakers and Sony PS3 and Xbox controller support via SixAxis app. Nexus 10 also shares the same qualities except that some games, unless updated and optimized, are too demanding for the high resolution.

As far as game selection, anything worth buying is available on both Android and iOS so don't listen to ignorant lying iFans.
