Possibly inferior to Nf3 as it fails to control d4 and e5 (but see next paragraph). However, it cannot be considered passive as this knight will most probably be looking to hit c7 later, a square no longer defended by the early development of the queen.

The other side of the coin is that Nc3 may actually be *superior* to Nf3. Nc3 is more flexible, and keeps the option of 4.Nf3 open.
