Here are my results when comparing the 3DS To the PSV as far as infomation presented is concerned

Price - Tie
Battery Life - Tie (Still dont really know the battery life for the Vita yet)
Camera - Vita
Power/CPU/GPU - Vita
Browser - Vita
Graphics - Vita
Design - Vita (My opinion)
Technology - Vita
Launch Games - Vita (This can change,But right now Vita seems to be having a good launch lineup)
Portability - 3DS
Durability - Tie
Online - Vita
3D - 3DS (Obvious)
Features/Content - TBA (Dont really know the Vita's content and features yet. Netflix, Pandora, Ect..)

 

Conclusion: As of right now, The PS-Vita is looking better than the 3DS in almost everyway shape, and form. I know Nintendo has always controled thehandheld market for gaming, But i really do beleive that the PS-Vita will dethrown Nintendo for handheld king once it releases. The PSP is still outselling 3DS in Japan and Europe right now which means that there is still life for Sony to take down Nintendo for the handheld market.

Though i am sure the 3DS will start to sell really well once Nintendo releases another Pokemon or Mario game. However i still think Vita has a brighter future ahead of it because it seems to be so much more promising.
What do yall think....
