3DS. It's always the games which count. We know so little about the Vita, so everything is either subjective or rumour, bar graphics (but, history has taught us graphics =/= good console).

I think psv will beat out 3ds in quality and quantity of games, psv unlike 3ds will have phone games, ps3/psv psn games and enhanced bc for psp games on psn (dual analogues will work) psv will also have more 3rd party support and nearly console level games, as well as more quality new ips (gravity daze is what I have my eye on) though 3DS has the universally known francises that sells 10 million but everyone already played them so I think people will start to get bored of them like I did 

On the flipside, 3DS will have "Phone games", Wii U/3DS games, DSi Ware games, and enhanced BC for DS games (one analog will work) and 3DS, like the DS, has a ton of third party support.  I'm sure the 3DS will have its share of new, quality IP's (Beyond Labyrinth is what I have my eye on) as well as universally known franchises that sell 10 million and people haven't grown bored with them like you did.

How do you come to the conclusion that PSV will have better quality and quantity of games?  No first party supports their console like Nintendo does and Nintendo is synonymous with quality--especially their tried and true franchises.  As for quantity, like the PS3 vs the 360, the 3DS has new games releasing on a weekly basis on its Virtual Console, DSi Ware, and retail shelves months and months before the PSV has released its first game!!  As we've seen in the past, a headstart is a tough thing to overcome. 

I ahve no doubt 3ds will have phone quality games but they won't be priced the same as their phon e game counterparts it will just be shovelware cash grabs, psv will have phone games ports for the same price, and Nintendo has gone on record saying they don't see a need to compete with phone games (or something like that wording is definately off but the point is the same), 3ds/wiiU games I haven't heard of any or even that Nintnedo is looking into it, Nintnedo still doesn't have the store up so I'm not holding my breath for DSi ware games being any good any time soon, and the anlogue replaces the D pad the thing is still locked for 8 directions it's not enhanced at all, Sony is adding a different joystick that can control the camera, 3ds just has a choice been analogue and dpad.

I'm not so sure about the quality new IPs Nintendo isn't interested and third parties are more known for shovelware, sure they will be a few gems but that game isn't even out yet and the 3ds has been out for months there isn't anything like what I'm talking about out on the 3ds yet and psv will have a few on release, and really you think no1 is getting tired of pokemon? 

Well the quality comes from the second analogue and better hardware in short psv is capable of delivering better games then the 3ds is, add to that all the talent Sony devs have and the fact that htey steped up their game on ps3 and that psv is attracting the attention of more 3rd party devs with the fact that Nintnedo only sticks to the same formulas, so well their games might be good when it's the same thing we've doen 10 times it's not as good as it was the first time even if it's better and thrid parties tend to go shovelware on Nintendos platforms, as for the quantitty, like I said psv has more types of games skews then 3ds will and is attracting more 3rd parties (alot of which have never been interested in handhelds before) and that Sony just has more devs and well the 3ds does have a headstart the psv has a good price point (unlike ps3) so it won't be that hard to overcome esepecailly with 3ds lack of games so far
