lets boil everything down to price, for $250 the PSVita has the better graphics, more media functionality, has better online connectivity, has better touch input, has better standard controls thanks the 2nd analogue stick, has a way better screen, it does better augmented reality.
All in all, for the same price as the 3DS, the PSvita is really the only hand held worth getting. the 3DS's saving grace is the fact that it will have Nintendo games, but it looks like the PSvita may end up having more 3rd party. Straight up their will be vita games not possible on the 3DS because of the multi-touch screen and track pad.
Right now, the PSvita has the potential to really outsell the 3DS. It's sorta funny through, Sony didn't want to name it's handheld PSP anything as the stigma could have affected its sales, and yet Nintendo named the DS successor 3DS in confidence that people would natural upgrade because of the DS wild success, but judging by the sales, it's tanked hard, and yes when you can't even outsell the PSP then you know you've done something wrong.
I think the reason the 3DS isn't doing so well is because the non informed consumers think the 3DS is just a DS with 3D screen, similar to how DS lite is just the lighter brighter version of the original DS and how the DSXL is the larger screened version of the DS...infact I'm sure that if Nintendo had of named the 3DS something different, in the same way Sony named the PSvita as to separate it form the PSP but at the same time keep it inline with the PS products, then i reckon it would be selling allot more than it is right now.
Now for all we know the 3DS may start selling gangbusters this Christmas, but one must admit that Sony on then hand held market has never been in such a great position to really capture the market and really take a huge chunk out of Nintendo's once hand held market.
I just hope Sony releases the PSV this year cuz I wants meh the PSV XD
