I do feel like Prague's tourist center (the area from old town square to charles bridge to the castle) is "worse" than Budapest's, as far as tons of stores selling shlock (much of which isn't even czech), overpriced restaurants and pubs, places that try to scam foreigners, etc.
There are certainly more tourists in Prague in a smaller area. The obverse of this is that it's probably easier to walk around between the sites of interest in Prague because they're closer together.
