I've own both for a while(3ds at launch, vita about two months after release), Vita gets most my play time, since I'm catching up with the psp library. Both great handheld devices, I'm thinking of buying the 3DSXL because of the screen. I'm finding it really hard to switch back and forth without missing that big ol screen on the vita.

I have both, i got the 3DS just after the price drop in September(?) 2011. I bought the PSvita at launch back in Feb 2012, I vastly prefer the Vita. I just really hate using the 3DS after using the Vita, admittedly i only ever bought one game for the 3DS (Zelda) and then i just got sick of using the system, I tried numerous demoes on it and just didn't feel like buying anything because i didn't feel like the games were worth the price (In Australia 3DS games are $60 and they pretty much never go down in price), even if i try to shop for games online stuff like Super Mario 3D land are still $48. In contrast games for the Vita like: Mortal Kombat $31, Disgaea 3 $35, P4G $43, Sly Cooper $34 etc and then atleast with Vita i get new games with PS+ like Lumines, Wipeout, MGS Collection etc.

If you want to know some really messed up stuff look at the pricing on our Gamestop website (EB games here), RE: Revelations for 3DS is $68, It's priced at $58 for PS360.
Infact Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario Kart 7, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Luigi's Mansion 2, Castlvania: MoF are ALL $68 for some random reason, and yet Soul Sacrifice is priced at $53, P4G is $43, $58 for DoA5+ and NGS2+, Killzone Mercenary is priced at $68 though but the point is that in general 3DS games are more expensive then Vita games for no good reason at all, and i just don't want to buy games that i don't feel are really worth the price that they are asking for them.

I love that i can now use the internet browser on my PSV to look up trophy guides for the game i am playing and i can just swap between them really easily also, or i can just minimize my game and check up what friends are doing or send messages or just chat with other people (something which i believe will become more important once Vita actually gets a decent multiplayer game maybe Soul Sacrifice or Killzone Mercenary)

I also have issues with the 3DS system's ergonomics, i find the corners dig into my palms and i find it very uncomfortable to use i plan on selling my original 3DS and getting an XL when X/Y release though.

I find it kind of funny when people say the Vita has no games also since i have a fair few for it... Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Wipeout, Rayman Origins, Mutant Blobs attack, Escape Plan, Super Stardust Delta, Dynasty Warriors next (waste of money tbh...), Ninja Gaiden Sigma +, Oddworld: Strangers Wrath, Persona 4 golden, Mortal Kombat, MGS collection, Lumines, PvZ, Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward etc. not to mention all my PSone and PSP stuff.

TL: DR - I prefer the Vita.

I find a both a bit uncomfy, but I can live with it. :P

Tell me about it, I have over 50 games for the vita  in total... vita(24),  psp(18) and ps1(12). Thats without counting minis, mobile games. Compared to the 16 3ds games I own.  D=

Maybe it's more of an appeal thing.
